Description | Tony Abbott believes women should regard their virginity as "a gift" that should not be given away lightly.
The Opposition Leader says men and women tempted by sex before marriage should try to abide by "the rules" but at least use contraception if they can't wait, The Herald Sun reported.
Since winning the Liberal leadership in December, Mr Abbott has faced claims that women voters do not like him. But there is no polling to prove this is the case.
In an interview in this month's Australian Women's Weekly, Mr Abbott is quizzed about a range of women's issues.
Asked whether he expects his own daughters to remain virgins until they are married, Mr Abbott says all women should regard their virginity as a gift that should not be given lightly. |
