Clark Moeller and the Bradford County Alliance for Democracy Take on Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage Programs in Pennsylvania
Bradford County, PA
Aug 29, 2006
Clark Moeller, an ACLU of Pennsylvania board member and active participant in the Bradford County Alliance for Democracy (BCAD), has been concerned about the use of abstinence-only-until-marriage programming in public schools for several years. With the aid of research and resources provided by the Clara Bell Duvall Reproductive Freedom Project of the ACLU-PA, Moeller composed a 10-page paper, "The Consequences of Abstinence-Only Sex Education."

The paper served as a starting point for what would become a three-part advocacy strategy to combat abstinence-only-until-marriage programming in Bradford County, implemented by BCAD.

Take Issue, Take Charge Today
We all want healthy families and teens, but what can we do to help foster these goals in our communities? For starters we can ensure that teens have the education they need to make responsible choices when it comes to sex. We can teach them about the benefits of abstinence while making sure that they have the information and tools they need to prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases if they do start having sex. Together we can Take Issue, Take Charge!
