IN the NEWS - Pence sets Example to Follow

"According to a Washington Post article, "In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won't attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either."
Sounds reasonable and wise to me.

But that's not how many on the left saw it. .."The left's bizarre and almost hysterical reaction to Vice President Pence's personal marital guidelines is not only totally off point. It actually misses the most essential point of all, namely, that it is Pence's high esteem for women—specifically, the most important woman in his life, his own wife—that fuels his moral choices. At the same time, the leftist response reveals a glaring blind spot when it comes to self-awareness."
Vice President Pence, being aware of his humanity, knows all too well how easy it is to fall. That's why he made it his habit to take certain precautions—in the best interests of his marriage, his own life, and the women he worked with. Again, it makes perfect sense to me.
Now, with more and more women saying, "Me too! I've been sexually abused," we realize just how epidemic this problem is in our culture. In other words, it's not just the Harvey Weinsteins who are allegedly guilty. There are many other abusers out there, from rapists who prey on strangers to adults who abuse children to bosses who abuse their employees.
And this is nothing new. It's as old as the human race, which is why the Bible addresses sexual sin from Genesis to Revelation, exposing even some of Israel's most famous leaders (including Samson and David and Solomon)." MichaelBrown
