Planned Parenthood Targets Children As Young As 10 for Sex Lessons; Raps... : 22nd Feb 10
A new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (which has links to the Irish Family Planning Association/IFPA) advocates giving children as young as 10 explicit sex “education”.
The report, Stand and Deliver, alleges that religious groups, specifically Catholics and Muslims, deny their children access to comprehensive sexual programmes and “education”: “Young people’s sexuality is still contentious for many religious institutions. Fundamentalist and other religious groups—the Catholic Church and madrasas (Islamic Schools) for example—have imposed tremendous barriers that prevent young people, particularly, from obtaining information and services related to sex and reproduction.
Currently, many religious teachings deny the pleasurable and positive aspects of sex”. The report demands that children 10 and older receive a “comprehensive sexuality education” from governments, aid organisations and other groups, and that young people should be seen as “sexual beings”.
Ed Mechmann, spokesman for New York’s Archbishop Timothy Dolan, said Planned Parenthood was “trying to teach children sex without values and that sex is a matter of pleasure and done without consequences”. He added that religions such as Catholicism and Islam teach sex as part of a much bigger picture and that Planned Parenthood was trying to disconnect sex from traditional values: “It is part of an effort to get children to reject traditional values and accept a liberal American-European view.
In many traditional countries—Catholic and Muslim—it won’t work, and should be seen as cultural imperialism”. Mechmann added that Planned Parenthood’s report was compromised because the huge group has a financial interest in promoting promiscuity to young people.
“The difference between Planned Parenthood and us is that we don’t make money off what we teach and say. They do. They make money off contraceptives and abortions”. Fox News. February 8.
