Sorry D. Long.
Disagree about SOME of their practices?. Yeah I think. I am glad you found services and did not lose a child in the process, but their agenda is too well known. Although they may have other women's services, their FIRST priorities are teaching sex to our kids and abortion services. That was the intent of the founder, Sanger, and remains so now.
Here is a little info for you: Even though some of it is dated, it is still relevant to the conversation:
**They want you to think they are a respectable organization whose purpose is to reduce teen pregnancies through education.
That is the illusion. The reality is a different story. If YOU want to know what Planned Parenthood is really teaching your children, read on.
While the material inside might be given to your children by Planned Parenthood, you may find it extremely offensive.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD ENCOURAGES ALL FORMS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY TO TEENS.
"Intercourse isn't the only way. Kissing, hugging, touching, masturbating, oral sex, are often very exciting and satisfying."
"Sex, The First Time or Any Time" - A pamphlet currently distributed by Planned Parenthood
"We should teach teens about oral sex and mutual masturbation in order to help them delay the onset of sexual intercourse and its resulting consequences." Debra W. Haffner, Planned Parenthood educator, in training session for educators and teacher trainers.
Sieges Report, Sept/Oct. 1988
AIDS is transmissible through oral sex. Yet, nowhere in the literature are condoms mentioned for protection during oral sex.
"Safer Sex" for lesbians includes: Use of a dental dam for oral-vaginal and oral-anal stimulation ... Use of surgical gloves when sticking your fingers into your partner's vagina or ass ... And all the other wonderful things that lesbians do together.
"I Think I Might be a Lesbian ... Now What Do I Do" - A brochure for young women. A brochure distributed to teenage girls at the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Arvada, CO.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS USING THE AIDS CRISIS TO PROMOTE SEXUAL ACTIVITY AMONG OUR YOUTH.
An example of their AIDS education is their "Safer Sex" continuum activity led by a Planned Parenthood educator. Teems tape placards containing a "sexual activity" on a wall ranking them from least risky to most risky for HIV infection. There are 39 activities listed, most of which are sexual. Some of the activities are as follows: Massage, French Kissing, Making out/petting, Phone sex, Sex toys, Dressing/undressing one another, Skinny-dipping/moonlight swimming, Erotic films and magazines, Body paints, Showering together, Bubble bath, Masturbation, Mutual Masturbation, Oral sex on a woman/man, Intercourse with a condom, Oral/anal contact, Anal intercourse without/with condom.
Planned Parenthood's "Safety Dance" program is presented in schools as "AIDS Education". Remember, this "activity" is for high schoolers age 13 - 18.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S PROMOTION OF "SAFE" OR "PROTECTED" SEX IS A LIE THAT COULD KILL OUR CHILDREN.
Faye Walton, past president of Planned Parenthood writes, "Using a condom gives effective protection against STD's (sexually transmissible diseases) to both partners."
Wattleton, How to Talk to Your Child About Sexuality, p. 89.
"TIPS FOR TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS...#3. CONDOMS - new partner? More than 1 partner? USE THEM! Condoms prevent infection."
Planned Parenthood pamphlet, Sex...the first time or anytime!
· Consider: The failure rate for condoms in pregnancy is 10% to 30%. The Surgeon General Task Force 2/12/86. And, a female can only get pregnant 3-5 days out of the month. But, she can get AIDS 365 DAYS a YEAR! Add to that the fact that the HIV virus that causes AIDS is 450 times smaller than a sperm and 600 times smaller than the average flaw in the condom. Planned Parenthood's "effective" protection from this deadly disease translates into dead boys and girls - OUR CHILDREN!
· Nearly 1 to 3 people will contract deadly AIDS from an infected sexual partner when a condom is used EVERY TIME! This startling result of a scientific study was reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association in February, 1987. Telling kids that using condoms is "safe" is like giving them a gun with bullets in two of the six chambers and urging them to play "safe" Russian Roulette.
· "On June 19, 1987, I gave a lecture on AIDS to 800 sexologists at the World Congress on Sexology in Heidelberg [Germany]. Most of them recommended condoms to their clients and students. I asked them if they had available the partner of their dreams, and know that person carried the virus, would they have sex, depending on a condom for protection. No one raised their hand...I told them it was irresponsible to give advice to others that they would not follow themselves. The point is, putting a balloon between a healthy body and a deadly disease is not safe." Dr. Theresa Crenshaw, past president of the American Association of Sex Education, Counselors and Therapists, at the National Conference on HIV in 1987. Imagine - sex educators promoting a deadly activity to our children that they themselves would not risk!
PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS NOT DECREASED THE NUMBER OF BIRTHS TO UNWED TEENAGERS.
The number of births to unmarried mothers hit a record high of 1,165,384 in 1990. That was up 7% in one year and 75% over the decade. Nat'l Center for Health Statistics, June '92. This is after two decades of Planned Parenthood's sex education.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD HAS NOT DECREASED THE DEMAND FOR ABORTION.
After years of Planned Parenthood programs, legal abortions have increases 101.6% since abortion became legal. According to their own reports, Planned Parenthood itself performs almost 10% of all abortions in the U.S.
Family Planning Perspectives, Vol. 23, No. 2, Mar/Apr 1991.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS IN THE ABORTION BUSINESS.
Planned Parenthood performed 129,000 abortions in 1991. Compare this to fewer than 5,000 referrals for adoptions, and only 7,000 cases of prenatal care. 1991 Annual Planned Parenthood Federation. This means that less than 10 percent of the services performed for pregnant women at Planned Parenthood have to do with non-abortion services.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD USES YOUR TAX MONEY.
Planned Parenthood promotes itself as "privately funded". Yet, in 1991 alone they received $124,000,000 of your money in government funds.
