Bypassing parents to push teen sex
NYC Planned Parenthood says parents want – and need – their version of sex taught.
But do parents really want the chief abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, teaching their sons and daughters to have casual sex, use condoms and get abortions? Do parents really want to be excluded from sexual-reproductive “services” that Planned Parenthood is offering to their kids? According to Planned Parenthood of NYC, parents want this – and, to legitimize their presence in schools, they’re calling it Sex Ed.
What a joke. Parents should be their kids’ primary teachers when it comes to imparting values and views on sexuality – not Planned Parenthood. Research tells us the majority of moms and dads want their sons and daughters to remain abstinent and reserve sex for their future spouse – not jeopardize their future well-being through casual sexual encounters.
According to the CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey of 2007, more than half of 9-12 graders (52%) have never had sex. But after the sexual temptations of high school, nearly two out of three seniors have had sex at least once by the time they graduate.
Planned Parenthood encourages casual, teen sex and exploits “accidents” – or teen pregnancies (potential abortions). Their irresponsible promotion of consequence-free, ”safe,” latex sex never will protect teens, but it does protect their pocketbooks by funding their dark, exploitive “business.”
Kids need their parents’ involvement to avoid a Pandora’s Box of sexual devastation. Parents help teens discern sexual dangers and create healthy boundaries to ensure successful futures – Planned Parenthood and condoms do not.
Along with their 300,000+ abortions a year, Planned Parenthood continually ignores and contradicts the well-documented studies that show the negative consequences abortion has on women.
Do we really want the largest abortion provider in the country teaching our kids about sex??
Agree! Planned Parenthood’s sex education reads more like a “how to” (have sex) course than an effort toward prevention. We can address the root of the problem directly and work toward prevention or spend millions of dollars treating the symptoms and broken lives.
