Planned Parenthood’s Latest Document: ALL Children Under 18 Have Sexual Rights

July 11, 2011 by Gerard M. Nadal

In anticipation of the UN Conference on Children later this month, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has released a new document, Exclaim!

In this document, Planned Parenthood leads an all-out assault against parental rights over their children by calling for laws to empower children and leave parents out in the cold.

Some key excerpts from the document:

Inalienable: Everyone is entitled to human rights simply for being human. Human rights cannot be taken away or given up from anyone, irrespective of their age, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability, HIV status or health status. reproduction, reproductive health and
parenthood.

This from the people aborting over 330,000 humans per year in the US, including those with disabilities. This from the people doing gender-specific abortions. Do they hear themselves speak?

Another reason why young people’s sexual rights are particularly complex is because of the need to both protect and empower young people. There is a common assumption that young people are incapable of making decisions for themselves, so parents or other adults should have full authority over decisions related to their
sexuality. Resistance to recognize young people’s sexuality and their decision- making abilities makes the realization of young people’s sexual rights all the more challenging.

The concept of the evolving capacity of young people stems from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It draws attention to the rights of children and adolescents, as well as calls on leaders and societies to value young people’s opinions and decisions in light of their evolving capacities.

As a father of three young children, I have not noted in them any evolved capacity for making sound and reliable judgements regarding sex. I’m still trying to get them to make good hygiene a habit. They need strong parental authority to guide them in their development.

All people under 18 years should enjoy the full range of human rights, including sexual rights. The importance and relevance of some rights change as a person transitions from infancy to childhood to adolescence. Therefore, the rights of children and youth must be approached in a progressive and dynamic way.

The rights and protection of young people under the age of 18 differ from those of adults. Particular attention must be given to these differences in relation to sexual rights. The evolving capacity of young people to make decisions about their health and well- being must be recognized, while also ensuring appropriate protection of their best interests.

Were all of that not enough, here’s the killer, one of PP’s stated goals:

REMOVAL OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT OR SPOUSAL CONSENT LAWS THAT PREVENT YOUNG PEOPLE FROM SEEKING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES.

Lest anyone doubt how young Planned Parenthood’s target audience is, try TEN YEARS OLD!!

From another one of several PP documents aimed at children:

Stand and Deliver: Sex, Health and Young People in the 21st Century (click here to read the document).

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.

This new document, Exclaim! does not specify a bottom age limit, though Stand and Deliver does. Perhaps Exclaim! is going all the way with no age restrictions at all.

Exclaim!is as diabolical a piece of evil as can be crafted. Planned Parenthood has declared an all-out World War on parental rights. If there were doubts before, there can be no doubt now as to their malevolent intent regarding our children. This is war!

I’ll be writing more about Exclaim! this week. In the interim, here are a few other articles I’ve written that serve as backdrop for what is to come. They contain Centers for Disease Control Data that show the extent of this holocaust on our children.

    Maybe we should let children prescribe their own medication too -let them play with matches and run with scissors. We might just as well let them play with guns and stroll with through the lion cages at the zoo, you know, so they can experience the dangers of the wild for themselves. WHAT kind of world are we living in? Who are these people? We are trying to keep kids from violence, from bullying one another and from being exploited, not give them license to do whatever they will. What would such a perverted mandate say about child pornography? Is this the utilitarian view of the world? Do what thou can? Once you allow a society to kills it’s unborn children however, nothing that follows should be shocking.

    This news is disgusting, but I’d be lying if I said that I was shocked.

    “Inalienable: Everyone is entitled to human rights simply for being human.”

    If only Planned Parenthood upheld this for the pre-born!

    This is really disgusting I want Planned Parenthood to not exist anymore b/c they are bad business.

    Except who has to be responsible for the babies conceived, but not aborted or adopted, when said “youth” make irresponsible decisions about sex?
    yes- that would be the parents whose rights were dismissed.
    The drumming-up business aspect of this is so transparent that it would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.

    […] Coming Home has an eye-opening post on Planned Parenthood’s efforts to remove “parental involvement or spousal consent laws that prevent young people from seeking sexual and reproductive health services” for children as young as age 10. Coming from an organization that markets birth control to adolescents in the form of children’s candy (see condom lollipops, left), this shouldn’t be surprising. […]

    As a parent this makes me even LESS impressed with Planned Parenthood than I was in the beginning (which was not at all impressed).

    Parents SHOULD and NEED to have the right to be informed about things their kids are doing–particularly the sexual. It’s a parent’s RESPONSIBILITY to know and to actively teach their children right from wrong. Take away that parental responsbility and right and you’re gonna end up with chaos.

    Parents have a responsibility to be loving, caring, and teach their children right from wrong. I know not every parent does this, but nobody should penalize the good parents for what the uninvolved ones do.

    “Inalienable: Everyone is entitled to human rights simply for being human. Human rights cannot be taken away or given up from anyone, irrespective of their age…”

    Let’s hold Planned Parenthood to this! The “youngest” human being is the conceptus… PP even says that very young children should not be prevented from excerciizing their “human rights”… by their parents!

    PP just defended the human rights of all human beings, “irrespective of age!”

    Abortion is the ultimate child abuse by parents and it is the epitomy of age discrimination by parents. PP did not intend to say this, but they just did.
