Love does not demand its own way. She has more confidence in kids, and she says, I don t buy the argument that teenagers can t control themselves or that they need to be taught to use birth control devices to protect themselves. Teenagers can handle the pressure. I have seen thousands of teenagers sign commitment cards pledging themselves to wait until marriage. Thousands of young women write Rebecca to thank her for taking a stand.
Some letters come from women who ve fallen for sex outside of marriage.
One woman wrote, I ve had troubles my whole adult life as a result of the bad choice to have remarital sex, which led to an abortion, a bad marriage and divorce. Rebecca s fans love her music and her encouraging words about life and its purpose. Your teenage years are a gift, she points out. Use them wisely. You can make a difference in this world by giving your life to serving and helping others who are less fortunate.
