"The overwhelming response I am getting from Olbermann's award is hearty `Congratulations!' " Wright told CitizenLink. "More importantly, it has provided a wonderful platform to spotlight the common-sense point that earned me the title, that comprehensive sex ed promoters profit from the ill effects of their products."

Wright received the "Worst Person in the World" designation after she was interviewed for a Fox News Channel Special Report.

During the interview, Wright said: "In fact, they [comprehensive sex-ed advocates] want to encourage [kids to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions. So, you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed."

"While the idea of sex educators rolling in piles of dough made off the backs of sexually active teens seems laughable to most," Jessica Valenti recently wrote in The Nation, "Wright is playing on some truly hackneyed, but often-believed, anti-feminist myths:

That comprehensive sex education causes teens to have sex; that all young women who have sex end up teen moms; that abortion providers make oodles of money, and--perhaps most dangerous--that sexually active young women are victims. Victims of educators, doctors, men, you name it.

Positioning the pro-choice and comprehensive sex ed community as benefiting from young women being sexually active is not only untrue, it also does a huge disservice to young women. (Let's not kid ourselves, when these folks talk about "kids having sex," they're clearly talking about women.) Young women benefit from being well-informed, they don't get knocked up from it. And if women like Wright really cared about kids, they'd be fighting to make sure American youth had accurate, comprehensive information about sex--not lying on television for conservative brownie points.

Olbermann lambasted by CWA's Policy Director for Cultural Issues

J. Matt Barber, who is identified as an attorney concentrating in constitutional law, and who serves as CWA's Policy Director for Cultural Issues, lambasted Olbermann and praised Wright in a column titled "Who's the worst person in the world?"

Barber called Olbermann a "blinkered liberal extremist who plays a newsman on TV," and pointed out that "in a recent episode of MSNBC's poorly rated 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann,' the painfully 'progressive' talking-head took issue with Wendy for pointing out this clear conflict of interest ..."

Barber congratulated Wright saying that "It's obvious from the left's reaction to your comments that you struck a tender nerve. Anytime you inject truth into the analysis, they go apoplectic.

"And if Olbermann is the chief protagonist for liberal thought, I think the conservative movement is going to be just fine. Anytime you've got Keith Olbermann's goat, you know you're doing something right."

CitizenLink is urging readers to "Take Action" and "Ask Keith Olbermann to stick to the truth when reporting on Planned Parenthood and 'comprehensive' sex ed.

Other Wright sightings

On December 18, the Christian Post reported that a federal judge "ruled ... that White House visitor logs are public records and ordered the Secret Service to turn over information regarding the visits of nine prominent Christian leaders to an advocacy group."

Included in the group along with Wright was James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Gary L. Bauer, former president of Family Research Council who ran for President in 2000 who is currently president of American Values and on the board of Campaign for Working Families, Traditional Values Coalition executive director Andrea Lafferty and founder Louis Sheldon, Lafferty's father, Paul Weyrich, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority, and Council for National Policy, currently Free Congress Foundation, Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, Donald Wildmon, founder and chairman of the American Family Association, and the late Jerry Falwell, co-founder of Moral Majority.

In late December, reponding to news that Jamie Lynn Spears, the 16-year-old younger sister of pop artist Britney Spears was pregnant, Wright praised her for making a "mature choice" in deciding to have the baby.

Folding the movie "Juno," in which a pregnant teen ager decides to have her baby, into her comments, Wright told the Associated Press that "Too often, sex is presented as having no consequences. In both of these cases, the girls are pretty much admitting that they made some wrong choices, yet they are acting responsibly now that they're facing the consequences. That's a mature response."

Earlier this month, Wright said that the United Nations wants to integrate "reproductive rights and services into various agencies and U.N. programs in order to promote abortion and sexual license."

Concerned Women for America was founded by Beverly LaHaye, the wife of longtime conservative Christian activist and co-author of the best-selling "Left Behind" seriers of apocalyptic niovels, Tim LaHaye.
