Genesis 2:24-25 Amplified Bible says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not embarrassed or ashamed in each other’s presence."
Marriage is for the nakedness of partner sexual union and for love. All forms of rape are for shame and against love.
A neighbor and North Carolina state raped Elaine Riddick. A neighbor raped Riddick at the age of 13. North Carolina state raped Riddick by sterilizing her without her consent her while she was giving birth to her son conceived through rape. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzYQLHHCxq8 of a CNN interview in which Elaine Riddick says about her North Carolina state-sponsored forced sterilization, "Later on because of my body was traumatized so severely I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy. But prior to that before I had the hysterectomy most of my life was I had to live in a whole lot of pain, hemorrhaging. When I got my monthly cycle ... it felt like someone had taken a knife and was gutting me .... My menstrual cycle ... wasn't normal because it lasted ... 12 to 15 days at a time, and this happened from the time ... after I had my son from the time I was 14 until I got into my 40s when I eventually did have to have a total hysterectomy."
Riddick said in the CNN interview regarding the psychological pain of her sterilization, "You will never recover from this because it's always there. Every time you wake up when you go to sleep it's there. You think about how you've been treated in this country here. You think about--well me myself I had been so severely damaged until I was on Prozac, Serentil and Haldol, and that's how I coped. I had to wean myself off these things in order for me to cope, and I have to cope, and I have to go on."
Sometimes people consider physical health as more important than mental health. The reality is that they both need our regular attention, and failing to take good care of ourselves physically and mentally is dangerous and even fatal.

Our physical and psychological well being can be harmed in a variety of ways in sexual relationships outside of marriage. Christopher Yuan says he was strangled by a boyfriend/lover in his book Out Of A Far Country A gay son's journey to God. A broken mother's search for hope., and he continued to stay in the relationship for a while. Have you ever accepted something in a relationship that is unacceptable? Write to:

While God does not will for us to have partner sex outside of marriage, He wills for us to enjoy sex inside of marriage. God does not want any of us to be afraid of sexuality and try to stomp it out. God created sexuality. What God creates is good, beautiful and excellent provided we participate in God's creation according to His design. God designed sex to bond marital couples. Sometimes sex leads to reproduction. Read my article "Fearless Sex" at http://michelefjackson.blogspot.com/2013/01/fearless-sex.html.
Sexual sin doesn't have to stop us from enjoying fearless sex. Have you participated in killing an unborn boy or an unborn girl? If we are in relationship with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, abortion and any other sin does not separate us from the love of God. Stop sinning, and shake off shame and condemnation. Enjoy friendships with the opposite sex and the same sex, and if marriage is God's will for you, also enjoy sex with your spouse. Refuse to allow shame and condemnation to steal the joy and the feast of sex with your spouse.

God is the creator of human life in all its varieties. Exodus 4:11 Contemporary English Version Bible says, "But the Lord answered, “Who makes people able to speak or makes them deaf or unable to speak? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Don’t you know that I am the one who does these things?"
People in favor of abortion, sterilization, infanticide and "family planning" are against the human race. Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood says in an interview with Mike Wallace, "I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world that have a disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically, delinquents, prisoners, all sort of things, just marked when they are born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit" (Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsrOPDdbTzM.)
Clarence Gamble, a colleague of Margaret Sanger, and also a leader in the birth control movement, wrote in Hygeia, the health magazine of the American Medical Association, January 1948, "Why fear Sterilization?" to justify forced sterilization, "Most frequent of all is the need to prevent children from being born to parents whose reproductive cells carry well defined inheritable defects. In many cases the parents themselves are not defective; the defect may show up first in the birth of a defective child, but in certain types of defect this means a strong likelihood that other children born to the same couple will also be defective. In a hereditary form of blindness, for example, it would seem criminal to allow additional children to be born to lives of darkness."
Chen Guangcheng is blind. He is also the husband of Yuan Weijing and the father of Chen Kerui and Chen Kesi. Chen Guangcheng filed a class-action lawsuit in China in 2005 against forced abortion and forced sterilization practiced as part of China's one-child policy. China put him in jail and house arrest from which he escaped and is now living in New York with his family. In this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiWP2SQx2E Chen Guangcheng encourages people to find out the truth and support human rights and freedom.
Whether we live in China, North Carolina, other parts of America and other parts of the globe God loves us and desires for us to live well with great joy. God does not want us to be passive and refuse to participate in good deeds. Are you a victim of American state-sponsored sterilization? Don't let threats or pressure stop you from standing up for what's right. You are lovable to God, and God wants you to love yourself and other people. A Persian proverb says, "Opportunity should be grabbed." In North Carolina $10 million is to be split equally among those sterilized through the North Carolina Eugenics Board. Compensation claims must be filed by June 30, 2014, for victims to receive a one-time payment to be distributed June 30, 2015. North Carolina had a eugenics board from the 1930s through the 1970s through which social workers, family and others arranged for people to be sterilized. If you think you are one of the victims, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/FirstPartyVerificationform.pdf. Sometimes people are not able to speak up for themselves and need advocates. If you are not a victim, but are an advocate for a victim, you can ask the North Carolina Justice for Sterilization Victims Foundation to check the North Carolina Eugenic Board's records by completing and mailing them this form with required attachments: http://www.sterilizationvictims.nc.gov/documents/ThirdPartyVerificationform.pdf. These forms are verification and not a guarantee of compensation.
In South Africa Desmond Tutu retired as archbishop to head the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that exposed many of the evils done under apartheid, so that evil may be stopped and good promoted. North Carolina is not the only American state that did state-sponsored sterilizations. Cindy Trimm says in her book Commanding Your Morning, "Think big and think detailed!.... Become a visionary--be creative. Take the limits off your mind! Think beyond where you are.... Ask God to enlarge your capacity for thinking, to take the limits off." Other American states besides North Carolina and other nations need to apologize to, financially compensate victims and erase all forms of "family planning" evil. The door to evil has not been closed. US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case upholding American state-sponsored sterilization, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes.... Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Like Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in America Buck v. Bell has not been overturned.
A Korean proverb says, "The fortunate man has bread and friends." If you have filed a North Carolina verification form, please share your experience and inspire others. Write to:
