By
this point, even the most wild-eyed apologist for the sexual revolution
can scarcely deny that something has gone terribly wrong. For the
fourth year in a row, STD rates in the U.S. are up. In fact, they’re at
the highest level they’ve ever been. In 2017, gonorrhea rates soared
67%, chlamydia 21%, and syphilis 76%. The executive director of the
National Coalition of STD Directors thinks President Trump should
declare that STDs are a “public health crisis.”
For
some reason, when the hippies preached their gospel of free love, they
never mentioned venereal disease. Neither did they mention the routine
visits to the abortion clinic down the street to “take care of the
problem,” or the massive amounts of synthetic hormones women would have
to pump into their bodies to prevent the children for which their hearts
are yearning, or the trillions of dollars spent on the divorces
produced by an epidemic of infidelity.
I
could go on. But what I have said is already more than enough to show
that the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s has failed. Even a child
