Meet the Chastity All Stars!

Dawn Eden writes -- On November 13, a dream of mine came to fruition with "Modest Proposals," a meeting of minds at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Along with co-promoter and moderator Mary Rose Rybak, managing editor of The New Atlantis, I brought a group I like to call the "Chastity All-Stars" — me along with fellow authors Wendy Shalit (A Return to Modesty, Girls Gone Mild), Laura Sessions Stepp (Unhooked) and Dr. Miriam Grossman (Unprotected), plus Cassandra DeBenedetto (founder of the Princeton pro-chastity Anscombe Society) — before a standing-room-only audience to discuss the problems of sexual promiscuity on college campuses. The goal was to propose solutions that looked beyond simply getting students to use more condoms, as that strategy has failed to stem the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and the sharp rise in depression on college campuses.

By the way, there are several others who I'm sure Dawn would have liked to include in her "All Star" lineup including Mary Beth Bonacci and Molly Kelly, but the women assembled for this symposium are certainly at the top of their game.
