 Anti-pornography activists are endorsing bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate Wednesday to crack down on Internet service providers (ISPs) that do not report child pornography to authorities. The Securing Adolescents From Exploitation Online Act of 2007, or SAFE Act, would require ISPs to report child porn to National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or face higher fines and criminal penalties. Bob Peters, president of Morality in Media, said he is pleased that the bill would also require the Justice Department to provide Congress with statistics

on how many child-porn prosecutions and investigations it launches. "The more prosecutions there are, the more the risk goes up for people who are into this perversion," Peters said. "Over time, that acts as a deterrent and will hopefully put more people in jail for engaging in what is a burgeoning form of obscenity." Senate Child-Porn Bill Targets Internet Service Providers |

 The Sadness
NEW YORK: Teenagers often suffer emotional consequences from having sex, even when it's "only" oral sex, a study published this week suggests. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco found that up to one-half of the sexually active teenagers in their study said they'd ever felt "used", guilty or regretful after having sex. Though such feelings were less common among teens who'd only had oral sex, about one-third reported some type of negative consequence. Dr Sonya S Brady and Bonnie L Halpern-Felsher report the findings in the journal Pediatrics. Sex of Any Kind Can Harm Teenagers Emotionally

A disturbing number of doctors do not feel obligated to tell patients about medical options they oppose morally, such as abortion and teen birth control, and believe they have no duty to refer people elsewhere for such treatments, researchers say.
The survey of 1,144 doctors around the country is the first major look at how physicians’ religious or moral beliefs might affect patients’ care.
The study, conducted by University of Chicago researchers, found 86 percent of those responding believe doctors are obligated to present all treatment options, and 71 percent believe they must refer patients to another doctor for treatments they oppose.

Do You Feel Rejected?
Recently, the Lord gave me this Word for a meeting I was preparing for, and I believe He wants me to give it to you. He said:
"So many are in prison because they won't accept themselves. So many are so gifted and talented, but they won't express themselves because they fear rejection. They fear man. They fear what people will think.
I want to love My people, but they hold Me at arm's length and won't let Me really love them because they have been hurt by others. They fear I will reject them because of their weaknesses like people have. But I will never reject them. Do You Feel Rejected?
