Planned Parenthood Web Site Advises Teens on Porn Use By Penny Starr CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer February 26, 2008

(Editor's note: Contains quoted passages that some readers may find offensive.)

(CNSNews.com) - Teenwire.com, the Planned Parenthood Web site that says it was created "to provide medically accurate sexual health information for teens on the Internet," is advising teens that viewing pornography is a normal and "safer" way of enjoying sex.

In a 2007 article, "Birth Control Choices for Teens," the writer for the Planned Parenthood site tells readers about "Outercourse."

Under the subtitle, "lower-risk forms of outercourse," in addition to kissing, masturbation, erotic massage and body rubbing, or frottage, is "fantasy."

"Many couples can read or watch sexy stories or pictures together," the article states. "They can also share or act out sex fantasies. People do it in person, on the phone, surfing the Internet or through e-mail instant messaging."

Another advice piece, "Porn vs. Reality," warns that federal law makes it illegal for anyone under 18 to view pornography; "however, not everyone follows the rules, and you may run across some porn before you turn 18. There are a few things you should know about the images you might see. First of all, many people enjoy pornography alone or with a partner as part of sex play. People have different ideas of what is arousing, and there are many different kinds of porn that appeal to people's different interests."

I consider it Fiscal Conservatism.

Now you might want to give all my tax dollars to slutty teenagers and their special needs children, but why throw good money at bad ideas?

You forgot a basic fact: (OK, I'll simplify it down.)

(A Just) War is killing the guilty to protect the innocent.

Abortion is killing the innocent to protect the guilty.

Other than that, yeah, they're so similar. 8^/

Planned Parenthood’s Goal:

Dr. Lena Levine in 1953, concerning Planned Parenthood’s purpose and planned course of action:

“... to be ready as educators and parents to help young people obtain sex satisfaction before marriage. By sanctioning sex before marriage we will prevent fear and guilt. We must also relieve those who have these ... feelings, and we must be ready to provide young boys and girls with the best contraceptive measures available so they will have the necessary means to achieve sexual satisfaction without having to risk possible pregnancy.”

(Planned Parenthood News, Summer 1953). “Psycho-Sexual Development,” quoted in Planned Parenthood News, Summer 1953, pg. 10)

You forget one minor thing. Innocent people are killed in wars all the time - even the good guys kill innocent people.

The killing of those innocent people are justified because of the greater good.

"Innocent people are killed in wars all the time - even the good guys kill innocent people. The killing of those innocent people are justified because of the greater good."

No, that's not right. Innocent people are not to be targeted and directly and intentionally killed at any time, not even in wartime. That is the definition of murder. It is prohibited by the Rules of Engagement of the U.S. Military, and the UCMJ defines it as a war crime.

Innocent people are, sadly, killed as part of the inevitable collateral damage of war: that is, if they are not directly targeted, nor are their deaths deliherate and premeditated.

This is analogous, not to abortion, but to a legitimate healing procedure on a pregnant woman which indirectly results in the baby's death: for instance, hysterectomy of a cancerous uterus when the woman was pregnant.

And in either case, a serious effort must be made to minimize the collateral damage. In the case of the pregnancy, sometimes the baby can be delivered prematurely and live. In the case of war, sometimes the civilians can be warned to evacuate before the place gets blown up.

The directly intended killing of an unborn baby or an innocent civilian = murder. The adjectives are important.

More liberal crap from the purveyors of evil. Pornography is a cancer eating away at traditional America values and morality. It is as dangerous as cocaine and should be outlawed. The founders never intended for free speech to include porn and perversion!
IMHO

I'll be darned. I thought people just bought Playboy for the articles.

You are just playing the same semantic games planned parenthood chooses to play.

So did the Allies commit a war crime when they firebombed Dresden? Innocent people were the target. Same with the Atomic Bombs.

Those things have an ability to cut down on teen motherhood.

That's demonstrably untrue. In fact, percieved easy access to abortion ~increases~ teen pregnancy.

Reminded me of a friend’s girlfriend (don’t get me started) who use to have a bumper sticker on her car that read: PORN, IT’S CHEAPER THAN DATING.

Teen birth rate follows pregnancy rate and rises and falls along with sexual activity rate, not inverse to the abortion rate. The abortion rate has been more or less flat since 73 with a slight decline over time.

Teen sexual activity rate rose after Roe v. Wade in 73 through the 70’s into the 80’s. Fell slightly during the 80’s (as abortion was being hotly debated as a moral issue) then rose again until about 93 when it began to fall again and has been until now.

IMHO, abortion has become less popular and less of an option for girls to consider, and this was reflected in the sexual ~activity~ rate, which drives the others.

Many girls first believe that they’ll just have an abortion if they get pregnant... so they’re somewhat more willing to have sex. When they actually become pregnant it dawns on them what they have, they change their minds and they opt to keep the baby. I don’t have data handy for that, but I do have several examples of this happening to acquaintances who’ve told me exactly that story. It does happen.

But the flip side is those girls know they can have their Uncle Sam pay for the kid without them having to worry about the father. Get rid of welfare, we get rid of teen pregnancy.

"You are just playing the same semantic games planned parenthood chooses to play."

How do you figure that? They're in favor of the directly intended killing of the innocent. I'm firmly and unequivocally against it. How does that make me like PP?

"So did the Allies commit a war crime when they firebombed Dresden?"

Yes.

"Innocent people were the target. Same with the Atomic Bombs.'

Yes. Murder. Whether done by a bomb, abortion, or a baseball bat.

OK, I’m hip to that.

As it would happen, welfare rates ~have~ been declining since the successful welfare reform of the 94-elected congress. That’s probably part of the decline in unwed births as well, as you suggest.
