Right Wing group dislikes “Dear Abby” columnist

Today, the Washington Times highlights a recent analysis by the right-wing Culture and Media Institute, which concludes that Phillips has repeatedly “rejected traditional morality“:

Here’s the thing, she’s an advice columnist, its not her position to impart her morality onto others, if people are having sex its not her place to say you shouldn’t have sex because its wrong.  Face it, sex happens, its natural, now people have different views on sex, some say it should be only in marriage, or only between a man and a woman, great, if that’s what you feel then follow that, but its not her place to say that any other form of sex is evil; and even if she did it wouldn’t stop people.

Her place is to give her advice when someone asks, advice that helps them in the situation they are in, not to pass moral judgements on them.  If people are having sex the best advice is how to protect themselves and to seek out medical advice for testing and such, not that they are somehow evil for doing the act.
