Sex Education Planned Parenthood Style

It was a lovely September afternoon, the sky blue, the sun shining, and a light balmy breeze. My children and I drove to the park to wait while my son finished his violin lesson. We spotted a picnic bench nearby under a shady tree and thought it the ideal place to sit and read while waiting.

It was the ideal place from afar. Fortunately, I walked up first. Someone had etched in the wooden picnic bench a phone number promising oral sex with the added note: “either sex.” It was time to divert everyone to another table.

This is a perfect example of why Planned Parenthood is evil. I encourage you to visit their website, especially the one for teens. They have only one goal in mind and that is to destroy your child’s purity and to encourage promiscuity. Forget sex as something sacred or beautiful. It is just recreation with a few unpleasant side effects, sometimes. But, hey, they can help you with that too.

Sadly, there are too many people who buy into the false notion that Planned Parenthood wants to help you. They care. Nothing could be further from the truth. What is even worse is that they receive taxpayer money and sometimes on the basis that they claim to teach chastity. They often insinuate themselves into schools by offering “educational materials” to unwitting teachers.

Do not be deceived. Sex education Planned Parenthood-style is all about desensitizing your child to sexual language in order to destroy the beauty of sex. The last thing they want is to see your child in a committed relationship of lifelong love in marriage. By trivializing sex and marketing this view to children of younger and younger ages, who do not have properly formed consciences and no concept of the meaning and purpose of marriage, they are undermining the future of this country.

The next time you pass a Planned Parenthood clinic, say a prayer. Someone is about to die based on their helpful advice. It is very important that Catholic parents and all parents who are interested in the moral upbringing of their children stay informed about the insidious agenda of Planned Parenthood. In addition to your own local or state pro-life organization, here are some organizations that regularly report on them and fight them:

The Population Research Institute (www.pop.org);

Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (www.C-Fam.org);

STOPP International (www.stopp.org).

Please be sure to visit the STOPP website and sign the petition against using tax dollars to fund Planned Parenthood.

    Amen!!! Woe to those who call good evil and evil good. Right from the pit of hell and from the father of lies does this organization stem from. I recently noticed on my commute into work a new Planned Parenthood sign on a strip mall that I pass each day. This strip mall is located in a town that is mostly populated by poor South American immigrants. They not only prey on teens but they also prey on these poor immigrants who think there is no other choice. As I pass by each day I ask our Blessed Mother, St Joseph and St Michael to intercede and unite my prayer with theirs so that God’s grace will come down upon all who work there and upon all who enter it’s doors. I pray that’s God’s grace will touch their hearts and bring them to conversion. May God’s grace open their eyes to see the truth, so that the truth will set them free. May God have mercy on our country.

    It is tragically ridiculous that the institutional offspring of Margaret Sanger has taken up her efforts to have the effective ‘non-humans’ of her purview now include just nearly any human.

    How long, then, before ‘planned (non-)parenthood’ becomes ‘planned eugenics’: that with a doctor’s prescription cum second opinion, one can pick up supplies for self-annihilation? (At a handsome profit to PE, of course, and perhaps subsidized by government, who wouldn’t want anyone to be penalized with living his own life.)

    [A little early in the day for all this – I feel a headache (heartache?) coming on . . .]

    Wow – I confess that I did not realize how openly PP pushes the idea of open sexual activity (I thought they were mainly about birth control and abortion) and certainly didn’t know about the teen site (http://www.teenwire.com). I took a look this evening and it is absolutely appalling. They openly invite all sorts of sexual activity – anything that “feels right” goes – and openly denigrate any attitude that might place a societal or even self-imposed restriction on sexual expression at any age, in any stage of any relationship. This is way beyond what I thought they were all about. They claim to reveal all this in the name of education but it is way beyond that – this is open advocacy of promiscuity with the added bonus of a quick way out if things don’t “go right”.

    I have strong Catholic opinions about morality and disagree with PPH’s views and approach. The schools teaching sex education should teach facts about risk and consequences and not try to sell a social agenda or their morals.

    Knowing that teens use vibrators, condoms, visit sexually explicit websites, and that the majority claim to be sexually active at 14, suggest that we parents have a job to do. However, I think our primary job is to safeguard our children. Once we’ve placed strong filters on our computers to block internet content, become FRIENDS on the Facebook and other websites that our children join, and once we’ve instilled a strong sense of morality and established a strong relationship with our children, I doubt that a Planned Parenthood suggestion would carry much weight.

    We can’t prevent our children from exposure to sex, in all its forms. We must discuss sex in all its forms with them and explain the moral, health, and psychological issues. Instead of criticizing what the enemy is doing, (Planned Parenthood, Hollywood, Internet Sites and perhaps peers of teens) I prefer to fight by building my own relationship with my children. As for PPH funding, if we object, how many of us have sent a letter to Congress stop funding?

    My point is that anyone concerned should do something more than say “Wow” or simply try to quote Scripture. If it is as upsetting to you as it is to me, do what I have done.

    As for the original post, I fail to see the link between Planned Parenthood and the graffiti. Frankly, if the family had teens, this might have been an opportunity to discuss the moral, psychological and social issues about the message. Of course, I understand that the message was offensive and understand why another location might be better for the picnic. Also, please cite for me a source that shows PPH receives tax money because they teach abstinence. I found many sources (including PPH financial statement) that they receive public money, but no source that shows this is because they teach abstinence.

    The Planned Parenthood material does list abstinence as the best choice. However, the site also provides a lot of information about many sexual activities that I find objectionable from a moral and medical perspective and believe the authoritative nature of the site can easily mislead teens without a strong moral compass – hopefully provided by parents and church. I am capable of using that site with teens and have discussions about why the information is incomplete, inaccurate, and demonstrate the site is promoting a moral agenda. I am also capable of engaging teens in discussions about how the views expressed are prohibited by the Catholic Church.

    Bottom Line: After we do our job as parents we may have time to attack PPH and the hordes of Internet Sites, public libraries providing unrestricted access to pornography, things said by priests and ministers about homosexuality, and problems within our church. Sadly, most parents will take the easy way out and simply complain, complain, complain. Instead, educate, educate, educate.
