Last year at a United Nations meeting on Women, Planned Parenthood held a session for Girl Scouts where the adult leaders were not allowed in the room. (click here for the whole story) In that meeting, they made available to the girls their eighteen page booklet, Healthy, Happy, and Hot (click here to read it)
In this booklet, Planned Parenthood actually advises girls that they don’t have to tell their sex partners if they have HIV!! From the booklet:
You have the right to decide if, when, and how to disclose your HIV status.
“There are many reasons that people do not share their HIV status. They may not want people to know they are living with HIV because of stigma and discrimination within their community. They may worry that people will find out something else they have kept secret, like they are using injecting drugs, having sex outside of a marriage or having sex with people of the same gender. People in long-term relationships who find out they are living with HIV sometimes fear that their partner will react violently or end the relationship.”
So Planned Parenthood teaches children that they can cheat on their partner, secretly use IV drugs, and if they get HIV, their partner does not have the right to know.
Then, more sterling advice from Planned Parenthood:
“Improve your sex life by getting to know your own body. Play with yourself! Masturbation is a great way to find out more about your body and what you find sexually stimulating. Don’t stop there: Find out how your partner’s body works, what makes them feel good and what gives them pleasure. Talking with your partner about what you each like and what feels good is the best way to have great sex.
“Your skin is the largest erogenous zone on your body, and your mind plays a big role in your desire for sex and sexual pleasure. Caress and lick your partner’s skin. Explore your partner’s body with your hands and mouth. Mix things up by using different kinds of touch from very soft to hard. Talk about or act out your fantasies. Talk dirty to them. Tickle, tease and make them feel good.”
“Some people have sex when they have been drinking alcohol or using drugs. This is your choice.”
And how young is Planned Parenthood’s target audience? TEN YEARS OLD!!
From another one of several PP documents aimed at children:
Defining Adolescence
As most societies define adolescence and youth in terms of both age and life circumstances, there is no universal agreement on what is a ‘young person’. The national legal age for political participation and the availability of data on different age groups can also determine how societies define youth. The World Health Organization defines young people as those from 10 to 24 years of age, including adolescents (10–19 years) and youth (15–24 years). IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation) uses the terms young people, youth and adolescents interchangeably to refer to people who are between 10 and 24 years. Defining all people under 18 years of age as a child is often not useful because it ignores the circumstances of youth who are faced with pressures and responsibilities that are usually reserved for adults. Policies and programmes for young people should focus not so much on age, but on the specific developmental needs and rights of individuals as they transition from childhood to adulthood.
Faith Religion and Sexuality
Involving young people from all regions of the world, IPPF convened a meeting to give young people the opportunity to voice their experiences of their own sexual and reproductive health in religious contexts, and to learn about how to meet young people’s needs. Culture, religion and traditions are some of the biggest obstacles in implementing sexual and reproductive health programmes for young people.
That’s the enemy in their own words, words directed at children as young as ten.
Please read the other articles below to get the full extent of Planned Parenthood’s criminal and reckless conduct, and how our children are being corrupted and their health destroyed in what should be the happiest and most care-free years of their lives.
P.S. Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scouts have a long history with each other. (click here to read the details)
try all ten year olds. not just girls. this is how I ended up finding Jill Stanek, and by extension, your blog.
My nine year old brought home a permission slip for a health class that would cover ” your body is changing: take showers.” I signed it. Why wouldn’t I?
The class started with a photo montage of Erect Male Penises, grown up division. It went from there. He was overwhelmed, and spent the rest of the hour staring out the window trying to keep a dialogue in his head, so he couldn’t hear what was going on. Poor baby didn’t think he could leave the class.
Then he came home and started acting out- verballly harassing his brother- ” I know what’s in your underwear!”, drawing sad critters, flinching when we hugged him- just a different kid. He was like the abused kid in the after- school movies.
I pressed the assistant principal. she slipped me the dvd the class was using, on the promise I would bring it back. I threw it out, after seeing it.
It’s grooming. We would put someone in jail for doing this to our children, if it weren’t public school. The book- I checked with some other mothers- it’s against both jewish doctrine, and catholic teaching, every step of the way. It’s totally against baptist theology, as well. Every last page of it was— I’m lost.
He told me husband what it was. He told us to NEVER, EVER, especially his sister, sign them up for that class. We’ve treated it like he was injured- we say it’s “wrong” and we begged forgiveness from him. He got doused with holy water and went through a healing thing at church…it was so wrong. I’m stunned at how wrong it felt.
It breaks my heart, too. B/c I was raised in the “more information earlier” mindset. I wonder how I was warped, and what I could have been like. it’s not lovely, seeing a child under spiritual attack. I wonder why anyone consents to this for their child, or if they even like the outcome. I know I was not lovely and innocent in my teens, not shiny and clean and happy. Honestly, I looked old and hagged. I became a Christian and was washed of my sins and blessed with the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit when I was 18. I looked younger, and then younger and younger and lighter, as I grew in faith. My driver’s license was considered fake- my eighteen year old pic was of an older lady- it was me. That’s just my outer shell. I know the kids in church look nascent, compared to how I looked then. My children, and their friends- it’s like there’s this little line of light around them, that you can see when they are running through the grass at the park.
Fight the good fight. This is so serious. god bless you for all your information and activism. You are saving lives, more than you know. you will be blessed with that in heaven, and god willing, honored on earth as a prophet.
Thank you for sharing this Ari. What a horrendous experience!! Just keep reinforcing the message that God created our bodies and made them good, and that he is a good boy. Tell him that sometimes adults, such as teachers, don’t understand God’s goodness, which makes them do bad things, such as show this movie.
God Bless.
Thanks Gerard for a great post & references. People often ask why we should support the Boy Scouts when we don’t support the Girl Scouts. This is one of the big reasons!
Ari, thank you for sharing what must be a painful story even in the recounting. People often talk about celibacy as a burden, but parents face such struggles in their responsibilities – there’s plenty of heroic virtue to be had in what you do!
Planned parenthood is truly horrific on so many levels. Bad enough they target our teens, but now young children as well. Is there no end?
Advising people they don’t have to disclose HIV status – On the basis of this alone the Board of Health should shut down every last clinic. How do they get away with this?
Ari, God Bless you and your family.
Dr Nadal, Thank you for a very informative post.
This booklet is directed to minors – why is this Planned Parenthood booklet exempt from child pornography laws?
It’s issued by the IPPF under the auspices of a publication (that) supports the implementation of Sexual Rights: An IPPF Declaration. (See back cover.)
This goes too far, IMHO. Their true mission is more like the The Sexualization of Children of the World.
If children are to use their bodies as an amusement park, why wait until age 10? Why not start them much younger so they can get more years of pleasure?
As for “the right to decide if, when, and how to disclose your HIV status,” why are there no responsibilities that go along with this so-called right? Once upon a time, rights came with responsibilities. One would think that transmitting a life-threatening disease would be about a bit more than just a person’s individual rights.
Do we need any more proof that Planned Parenthood has institutionalized child molestation?
Anna there is already a movement afoot to do exactly that. Kinsey advocated that even babies can be sexually active (whatever that means).
Ari – I’m so sorry your family went through this. I have been fortunate enough to be able to pull my children out of “health classes” in elementary school. High school is a different matter though but by that time they are at least 14 or older.
However, by then everything is pretty much in conformity to church teachings AND many teachers are uncomfortable about giving detailed answers to certain questions.
Oh Ari, my heart aches for you and your son. Almost all parents sign those permission slips without a qualm; “health class” is made to seem so benign that we’re tempted to believe the packaging.
When my eldest son was in 7th grade, I received the mandatory permission slip, and before signing I decided to take advantage of the brief time (only one weekday, from 3:30 -5:30 pm) allotted for parents to view the materials that would be used (this is required by law in our district).
The textbook being used was unremarkable, but there was also a long list of videos. The teacher told me he didn’t know which ones he’d choose to show, and no, I could not preview any of them. Only one other parent beside myself showed up, which meant that the parents of over 350 students didn’t get a chance to see what they’re kids would be exposed to (given the absurd time slot, many of them working undoubtedly couldn’t make it).
I refused to sign the form, and sent a letter to the teacher explaining that I wanted my son to spend the class time in the library researching a disability that his sister was born with and writing a paper on it; I figured that would be a useful, productive way to spend the time.
The teacher actually called me at home before school the next morning, to argue with me that I ought to let my son attend the sex ed sessions, telling me that my son undoubtedly already knew things I was unaware of, “Kids know a great deal more than their parents think at this age,” etc. etc. I remained resolute and told him my son’s moral education, of which his sexual development was a part, was in my hands, not the public education system’s.
My son was SO glad I opted out for him. He told me his friends were jealous that he didn’t have to experience the humiliation of sitting through the classes. And it was humiliating for many of them, as they kept the boys and girls together in the same room. Can you imagine a 12 year old boy having to sit through a film about sexual activity (including specifics about erections) with girls seated on either side of him?
What they are doing in public school to sexualize our children is criminal, or would be if it were done in any other setting.
Thank you. I feel crazy and alone when I talk about this with other parents. His best friend’s mom shrugged it off. The assistant principal was laughing. I had to rely on being polite and persistent. She finally gave in and gave me the material when I said “We’re friends. Come on. You know me.” which is nuts. She knows I’m willing to say rude words in front of my kids. That’s not a good character reference. Yes, its’ what I’m struggling with for lent. sloth and foul language. laughably small to other people, wretched slavery for me.
We debate stopping funding to Ethiopia b/c their little girls get “embarassed” about some cultural thing or another. Why can’t our own children be protected when they feel embarassed? Why are our sons , especially, deprived of their innocence. They are innocent and good. Why is everyone treating them like they are miniature divorced, adulterers, drunks, pedophiles? They are good, upstanding, decent, seeking holiness, honest, devout, self- controlled young men. Who would look at them and see predators?
I’m in Texas, where the paper resorts to name-calling- everyone religious is an ignorant fundamentalist. I’m not, but you know what? That’s a safer place for most children than the planned parenthood version of childhood. And, bluntly, it is the majority culture here. To teach a child other than that, is to take them out of what has worked for generations. And, further, to just reach one girl, or one guy, in this culture—that girl has just been set up. She doesn’t have the resources and boundaries and attitude that are the unwritten rules of, say, Sex and the City, or any determinedly single city woman. And the guy? Is asking for a shotgun wedding, at best, or a beating, or just a big, huge shunning, that wouldn’t have happened if he had remained innocent. I’m not sure greenwich village bohemianism needs to be exported to the rest of the USA.
I’ve been studying this since this class. It’s how I found Jill Stanek, and how I found this blog. I’m not a guy, so I don’t know what needs to be said, or not, otherwise I’d write a book myself for them. I’ve been trying to give information to the assistant pastor and the youth minister at church. I know they go over this stuff in confirmation.
What bugs me is— I grew up in separate households who all, more or less, subscribed to the “more information” theory. I received a copy of “The New Our Bodies, Ourselves” when I turned twelve. It has tons of information. I don’t think I was safer and happier knowing about —–take your pick of perversions—–when I just needed to know I was about to have a period. And now, even older, I’m not sure that the assumptions in it necessarily lead to a better, happier life. It’s not a safer life. But a life that has multiple sexual partners, peculiar sexual practices- I mean, honestly, you don’t know that you aren’t going to be physically damaged in some of these encounters-
I’m not sure the practices they normalize…the people doing these things….are not…..safe…….in any way. I mean, even the little ones- that is someone obsessed with a fetish, not in love and present and respectful to another human being. That’s not a safe person, in or out of the bedroom. I think it’s destructive, perhaps, to normalize an encounter with such a person. We ought to, maybe, tell kids their natural horrified reaction is the right one?
Or, say, I was acquainted with a sexual health professor fairly high up at CDC. He asserted that families don’t talk about sex or physical health. But, now, I listen to parents. We do. We just don’t say the same things as a sexual health counsellor. We say “wait for this.” or parents say ” you need to know this now.” or “wait until marriage.” It’s different. But I don’t think it’s less. I don’t know. It’s a whole new world for me, as a parent.
Thanks for listening to me. I have three children. I’ve been married for 12 years. My children are so different than I was, or my siblings, or even my parents and grandparents. They are untraumatized, basically. They are happy, kind, innocent. I have to use so much thought, since this isn’t what I grew up with. I don’t want to fall to one side, or the other. I want them happy, and healthy and whole and innocent. I want them to have happy marriages and a good, successful life. I want them to rejoice in each stage- be a kid when they are kids, be lovely high-spirited teens, intellectually voracious college students–and on and on and on. I want them to marry their favorite person, and have a good marriage, blessed with children.
oh! and fifth graders!!!!Fifth graders it’s a MIXED CLASS!!! That covers INSERTING TAMPONS! ILLUSTRATED! and MASTURBATION! and ERECTIONS!
WHY?????
They don’t walk around naked in class. Why? would they force each other into viewing each other as sexual parts ?
and really, I don’t know that the figleaf of “scientific” would stand up to scrutiny. I know just in the last year victims of Kinsey’s child research are testifying about how their father’s were paid to violate them. That’s pretty much research that ought to be criticized in the same vein as the syphilis experiments, or the japanese virus experiments.
I know there’s a CDC scientist who wrote a booklet laying out the “cootie rates” for early experimentation.
I know, when I just sort of pipe up about the private lives of most sexual adventurers, people get horrified. I mean, my Dad keeps giving me biographies of progressives and bohemians. I’m a bit boggled- am I supposed to ditch my kids and run off to Paris? Him and Mom did, and I was the victim, so I’m not seeing this as a good thing. I’m thinking it’s a character flaw- not having any sense of what another goes through, when you choose a selfish, unkind action. Anyway, most of the progressives- were either alcoholics or mentally ill, or physically ill. An astonishing amount of the physical illness was venereal disease run rampant. I don’t know anybody who hopes to end up living in an SRO, friendless, raving, disfigured from disease. I ask, would you like to walk in on some neighbor, naked, trying to seduce your husband? that’s what the bohemians did. It might work there, but I’d like to not live with it, here. I’m not really saying go back to dresses to the ground- there’s that here, in Texas- just, let’s weigh the fruit of this particular tree.
and thank you for listening, as I go on about this. I did not come from a stable, safe, secure background. so I don’t have the assurance that everything will turn out alright and okay. and I don’t have that comfort of looking into a mirror- “my kid is just like me, ergo he’ll be okay… i was like that at that age..” because I wasn’t. none of my kids are like me, which I am so proud of.
That’s my life’s work. I keep saying it. My husband is finally getting a sense of my meaning- our oldest is moving to junior high. I researched schools, to find the one that would fit best what he wants. I don’t really do well with jobs- the kids fall apart when I’m not there- one quits doing schoolwork, the other cries at a drop of a hat,,,,,little things,,, but big for them and for us.
I tend to look at the darker side of things- the ways things go wrong- or people who think wrong—it’s so refreshing reading Dr Nadal’s full-throated crying out of truth–you have no idea how valuable this blog is to me.
I suppose my question is: isn’t girl scouts great claim to fame that they teach girls to become corporate over- achievers? Not mothers. So, there’s this group of amoral, relativist women seeking work in corporations, right? And these are the women who were brought in and sold to the diversity police as as “more moral’? But they aren’t? Isn’t that a terrible way to seed the next wave of corporate malfeasances and accounting scandals and Enron? B/c isn’t morality like the nautilus- good and faithful in little, good and faithful in big?
I’m reading up on the mongol hordes right now- this rip-roaring bedtime story for my boys. The Great Khan preferred Christians as governors and envoys b/c they were honest and hardworking, noticeably so. I sort of wonder if the girl scouts- right now a good thing on a resume- might be hidden as sort of an embarassing thing from the past,- if this continues.
or maybe, seeding heartbreak. isn’t there this whole cottage industry of books about 40 something women deciding to get married and have kids? Which involves, usually, ivf? or a plain, high-tension marriage, and then kids in daycare all the time. But tons of money? and prestige? I mean, I see moms doing girl scout stuff with their daughter, and the mom is plain and awkward, but glows when she looks at her daughter. I know I want my daughter to have skills and the ability to have a job-
maybe that’s the twisted thread deal? Give us your daughter and your dreams, and we’ll turn her into our image.
I covered this one my blog a while back and even saved the pdf of the pamphlet they handed out in case PP tried to pull it out of existence. Frankly, everyone ought to familiarize themselves with the content of it (with lots of prayer and maybe even some holy water beforehand) because it is the most explicit non-weasely expression of PP’s artocious philosophy I’ve ever seen.
[…] young girls to Planned Parenthood’s horrific, explicit sexual indoctrination materials, materials oriented towards one thing – insuring Planned Parenthood always has a steady inflow of customers for its abortion […]
Fell out of bed feeling down. This has brhgitened my day!
