In reply to Andrè Vella’s letter Green Agenda And Sexual Health Policy (November 16, 2010), I would like to confirm that I had read the ADŻ-Green Youth sexual health policy before I wrote the previous letter and in no way does it make any difference to the point which I am trying to tackle.

When one reads the policy, one can easily confirm my point that ADŻ does not care about sexual morality. While the word “moral” isn’t mentioned at all in the report, “value” is only mentioned in the foreword, where it simplistically defines its meaning and adds on that “According to a statement on common values in EU healthcare systems, values include universality, access to good care, equity and solidarity. These common values should be at the heart of any health policy, whether national or international.” These are not considered moral values, which I tried to emphasise.

Additionally, in his letter Mr Vella said that “It (ADŻ’s health policy) encompasses an educational campaign to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to adopt safer sexual practices”. Maybe the public is not aware that ADŻ plans to do so by promoting condoms and the morning-after pill (as stated in ADŻ’s sexual health policy). It doesn’t seem righteous that to fight STIs one should prevent life or destroy it soon after it is formed. This definitely does not strengthen any moral values.
