American Conservatives Fight Against UNESCO Sex Education Guidelines

If someone proposed a possible plan that could significantly decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies and slow the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), then wouldn't you want to hear more? Well that is exactly what the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is trying to do. They are attempting to establish new guidelines on sex education in schools. However, American Conservatives are trying to fight it (big surprise there) like the plague (or swine flu).

The goal of the new proposal is to scale back the 111 million new cases of STD's reported in those ages 10-24 each year. Also, this new plan could reduce the 4.4 million abortions sought by women ages 15-19 every year. Now this sounds like something Conservatives would promote, but apparently they don't see what's wrong with some of the youth in the country.

The U.S. Conservatives have begun to battle the new guidelines after seeing an online version of the UNESCO working document. The main issue Conservatives have spoken out against is the recommendation that teachers should introduce sex education to younger children. The new guidelines suggest that sex education start at the ages of 5-8, however it would be more of an introduction to sex ed. While this might seem too young, with the problem of teen pregnancies, and the high number of abortions (for all you pro-life people out there), I think it is time for a change.

American Conservatives insist that t he only "legitimate" way of avoiding pregnancy and STD's is abstinence. While yes, it is the safest and only 100% way of avoiding pregnancy and STD's not everyone will do it. In fact MOST people won't do it. Even the majority of religious people like Christians will NOT do it (Palin's daughter).

Furthermore, many conservative governments all over the world SUPPORT this idea. It is time for a change and that is what needs to happen, not what should happen.

Top 4 Myths About Pregnancy and New Mothers

Most of us have probably heard our share of urban legends and old wives tales, but most realize them to be just that, a myth and nothing more. However, many women (and men) hear myths about pregnancy and new mothers. Yet, much like old wives tales, they are completely untrue.

1. The first and most widely believe myth is that sex during pregnancy will harm the baby. The truth is that having sex while pregnant will do no harm to the child and doctors actually encourage a healthy sexual relationship. However, if you are having a high risk pregnancy, have a history of miscarriage or pre-labor, your doctor will let you know if you should make any changes in your sexual activities.

2. Another commonly believed myth is that the position of your belly will indicate your child's sex. In reality the height or shape of your belly tells nothing about whether your child is a boy or girl. The shape and position of your belly is determined simply by your muscle tone, uterine tone, and the position the baby is in. If you really want to know what the gender of your baby will be go see you doctor and ask him to do an ultrasound.

3. Many women after giving birth believe that breastfeeding will cause weight gain. In truth, the opposite happens. Breastfeeding actually causes weight loss by burning calories, a lot of calories. It is estimated that women can burn about 500 calories a day from just breastfeeding, which is about the same as going on a five mile run. However, it is recommended that new mothers who are breastfeeding should only lose half a pound to a pound a week due to the fact that losing too much weight, too fast is unhealthy for the mother.

4. Myth number 4 is the myth that baby formula is an adequate substitute for breast milk. Although formula has improved, it is still not a replacement for breast milk. The nutrients, hormones, antibodies, and vitamins in the breast milk cannot be replaced by just formula. There have been many studies that show the benefits of breast milk. In fact, breast milk has been proven to lower the risk of developing allergies, infections, diarrhea, and lung disorders when compared to babies who have been given formula.

So there they are, some of the most widely believe myths about pregnancy and new mothers. Hopefully some of this information will help you. Best of luck.
