How to Fight International Planned Parenthood's Latest Sex Ed Agenda

"All Things Girl" series by Teresa Tomeo

The Planned Parenthood Federation believes that children as young as 10 should be given extensive sex education going so far as to recommend your pre-teen or tween should have an awareness of sexual pleasure. That's according to a new Planned Parenthood report entitled "Stand & Deliver" which also targets Christians and other conservatives accusing them of imposing sexual barriers on young children.

Catholic talk show host, media expert, and co-author of the best selling "All Things Girl" series, Teresa Tomeo, insists the latest push by Planned Parenthood to promote sex to younger children is a wake-up call for Moms and Dads and anyone else concerned about today's youth.

Planned Parenthood Effort to Expand Injunction Sputters

Planned Parenthood clinic in San Mateo, California

Planned Parenthood's latest attempt to banish sidewalk counselors from in front of its clinic in San Mateo, California, appeared likely to go down in defeat after a judge made a preliminary ruling that the abortion business had failed to prove its case against long-time pro-life advocate Ross Foti.
 
Over five years ago, Mr. Foti entered into a mutually binding injunction with Planned Parenthood Golden Gate (PPGG), in order to put an end to years of legal wrangling over his rights at the clinic. Mr. Foti agreed to stay 15 feet from clinic property and to limit the number of his signs on the sidewalk in exchange for PPGG's agreement that its "escorts" would not block him or drown out his words.

Older Women In UK Murder More Babies Than Teens: Report

Abortion by women over 35

Women aged over 35 who believe they can have unprotected sex because their fertility is on the wane are fuelling the demand for abortions, according to a sexual health charity. The Conceivable? campaign, launched by the Family Planning Association (FPA), says reports citing age as a leading cause of infertility is encouraging older women to abandon contraception. However, figures show the abortion rate in Scotland is higher for over-35s than for the under-16s: the abortion rate for women in the 35-39 age range was 6.2 per 1,000 of the population in 2008 against 4.7 in the under-16s. In England and Wales, the under-16s had an abortion rate of four per 1,000 women in 2008. Women aged 40-44 also have an abortion rate of four per 1,000.

Why All The Fuss About Russian Journalist’s Call for Infanticide?


Russian baby

A Russian journalist set off a firestorm in calling for infanticide of developmentally disabled babies, using extremely crass and dehumanizing language. From the story:

    The author, Aleksandr Nikonov, used the word “debil” — a deeply offensive term in Russian — to characterize such children. He argued that parents should have the right to euthanize newborns diagnosed with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. The article, which ran under the headline “Finish Them Off, So They Don’t Suffer,” went on to describe what Nikonov termed “postnatal abortion” as an act of mercy.

That’s awful, I agree. But why the fuss?  Dutch doctors now actually kill disabled and terminally ill babes–and they end up having their death protocol published respectfully by the New England Journal of Medicine.
