Planned Parenthood's vile Web site and the NFL's Jaguars
Florida Baptist Witness ^ | 9/8/08 | James A. Smith Sr.

Posted on 09/13/2008 10:44:32 AM PDT by wagglebee

Editor's note: The subject matter of this editorial is not appropriate for children.

Every now and then a particularly outrageous example of what America's culture wars are about becomes known, demonstrating our desperate moral condition. Such is the case with a new sex-education Web site by Planned Parenthood, America's tragically mainstream purveyor of perversion.

To make matters even worse, this obscene Web site is subsidized by your tax dollars, and at least indirectly the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“Take Care Down There” is a Web site created by Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette (PPCW) in Oregon. “Be the smartest person in the bed! Check out our fun sexual education website for teens and young adults, including videos about condoms, abstinence, STDs and other sexual health topics,” PPCW declares.

The brightly colored, playful-looking Web site includes lips, hearts, rainbows and stars as three-dimensional graphics that can be moved around by visitors – part of an apparent strategy to make sex-talk fun.

Videos on the site feature teenage girls and boys who casually joke about various types of sexual activity, led in those discussions by a creepy-looking man who is supposed to be something of a high school counselor-type giving shameful, indecent advice to the teens about how they can “Take Care Down There,” referring to sexual organs.

The Web site opens with a series of messages:

--“The ins and out of the ins and out.”

--“Be the smartest person in the bed.”

--“Take the ugly out of bumpin’ uglies.”

Without being too explicit – although that’s exactly what the Web site is, even without nudity – the videos include:

--A girl who exposes herself (by removing her clothing just off camera) to several other girls to initiate a discussion of what a sexually transmitted disease looks like;

--A chat about what the initials “HPV” stands for (human papoloma virus or human papilloma virus), joking about the male reproductive organ.

--A discussion about oral sex between two male teens – after the performance of such off camera.

I’ll refrain from describing the others; you get the (obscene) picture of this truly vile Web site. In each scene the creepy man enters the discussion and offers the supposedly adult advice on the sexual issues.

And, then there’s the obscene theme song entirely made up of profane lyrics using slang expressions for sexual organs.

The Web site, with links to PPCW’s main Web site and the national Planned Parenthood Web site, includes the following message:

“We were born to be in love with our bodies. Ask any three-year old. But somewhere down the road to growing up we put our reproductive selves in the dark. …

“Starting today, let’s make a pact: to make our body our best friend. So that when we make decisions, we’re empowered and aware. And let’s promise to pass that power on by asking everyone to join us and take care down there.”

This is Planned Parenthood’s answer to sexual promiscuity – teach teens to act like three-year olds. Sadly, this is typical for the perverted agenda of Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood annually gets about $300 million from the federal government to promote its harmful program of normalizing sexual activity among teens, which it then profits from by selling (they don’t give them away!) abortions to the young girls and women whose lives are harmed by the results of the promiscuity resulting from its “education.”

Although the Web site is the product of one Planned Parenthood affiliate, it is the epitome of what this perverse organization offers children and teens across America. That Planned Parenthood does so with tax dollars is extremely offensive.

But it’s not just your tax dollars that help fund this kind of objectionable content.

A year ago I wrote about the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation’s funding of a teen sex education program of Planned Parenthood of Northeast Florida (PPNF). My editorial focused on the moral hypocrisy of those who were at that time rightly demanding the expulsion from the NFL of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for his despicable dog-fighting enterprise in contrast to the deafening silence to the Jaguars’ funding of America’s leader in killing unborn babies.

The Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville’s daily newspaper, ran a front page story about my editorial with reactions from the Jaguars Foundation and PPNF dismissing my criticism by arguing the funding was for teen sex education, which would reduce abortions.

Last month, the Jags Foundation issued a news release reporting its newest grants. Missing from the list of recipients was PPNF. I called the Foundation to confirm that the organization is not being funded only to learn the funding continues – $30,000 for the latest grant, a total of $490,619 since 2000, Peter Racine, executive director of the Jaguars Foundation, told me in an e-mail.

Racine said the latest grant for PPNF was not included in last month’s news release because its grant, along with others in the “Straight Talk” sex education program, were approved only recently. PPNF’s FACES (Facts for Adolescents about Choices, Education and Sexuality) trains teens to talk to other teens about sex – the target audience for “Take Care Down There.”

Although Racine told me the Foundation’s position is to “promote abstinence as the first and best choice … not all youth will honor that choice. Programs that provide comprehensive education give youth the facts and support to make the right choices and know the consequences of risky behavior.”

Candidly, this is a cop-out. It is morally inconsistent to claim to advocate abstinence while supporting the radical, sexually perverse agenda of Planned Parenthood.

The ties between the Jaguars and PPNF are so close the organization awarded Delores Barr Weaver, chair/CEO of the Foundation, its “Conviction Into Action Award,” according to PPNF’s spring newsletter. The award name is taken from a quote by Margaret Sanger, the eugenics pioneer who founded Planned Parenthood.

I asked Racine to take a look at “Take Care Down There” and tell me whether he is comfortable with the Jaguars being associated with this kind of material. He replied, “I am not familiar at all with the web site your e-mail referred to, so I do not have any comment on that site in Oregon. As I believe you already know, we support only the local Planned Parenthood organization.”

Like Racine, you may protest that it’s unfair to link one Planned Parenthood affiliate’s Web site with the activities subsidized by the Jaguars in another affiliate. But both are part of the same national organization, pursuing the same philosophy regarding sex education. Indeed, it took me only three clicks to get from “Take Care Down There” to the PPNF Web site.

I was a Jaguars season ticket holder for three years before this season when I declined to renew my tickets (in the nose-bleed family section) after having become aware of the Foundation’s Planned Parenthood funding. I’m not asking the Jags Foundation to join my side in the culture war. But I will not financially support the franchise’s decision to join forces with the other side in a debate that literally has life and death consequences for our youth and their prospective offspring.

It’s long past time for the federal government to stop funding Planned Parenthood, enabling it to advocate its radical, abhorrent agenda. And, it’s time for fans to rise up and tell the Jaguars it should not be on the same team with Planned Parenthood.

Abortion is wrong.

That is a different issue from whether conservatives ought to be anti-sex and whether conservatives ought to oppose birth control and sex education.

Take Care Down There?????????

Okay, this is kind of creepy and sleazy.

This can only encourage promiscuous behavior. Sex education that teaches our young people about how their bodies function is one thing, but to teach with an utter lack of any values is quite another.

I shudder at the thought that this is all part of product line marketing at Planned Parenthood. Because if they are encouraging certain things to happen, it’s inevitable that some young girls will end up pregnant from “taking care down there” activity. Then, this can feed their abortion product line. Because PP is a big abortion provider, it’s got to be a money maker for them.

I hate to say it, but somewhere, somehow, a bean counter person at PP is setting up their financial budget, and is counting on a certain number of abortions at a certain amount of revenue to fund the activities of Planned Parenthood.

That's an important distinction. Sex education can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how it's done. This editorial is "creepy" to me.

I’ve seen that website; someone posted a link to it on FR. I found it repulsive. When God/morality is separated from sex, that’s when there are problems like STDs and abortions.

I’m so glad I’m not a Jags fan.

Agreed. BTW, for the last several years, it has been noted that the pro-abortion forces have been using cutsy things like pink backgrounds, hearts and so on to make abortion more palatable. Some have even gone as far as using Bible passages to make their point. I remember reporting this to our local talkshow, "Quinn and Rose," here in Pittsburgh back in 2003.

As to the Jags, that's one other reason for me not to like them, of course I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I remember when I was in Florida on vacation, I met a Dolphins fan who disliked the Jags as much as I do and we both agreed that they are the NFL's version of carpetbaggers.

The Dallas Cowboys also support Planned Parenthood.

I believe the Giants, Bears and Steelers ownership is solid pro-life.

Pray to shut down these Planned Parenthood killing houses. And let sponsors know you disapprove of killing babies.

Disney gives $$$ to Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando was one of 38 recipients (out of 200 applicants) of Walt Disney World’s 2006 Helping Kids Shine grant. According to the Orlando, Florida affiliate of Planned Parenthood, the $20,000 grant will be used to “develop a peer education program for young women culminating with a summit on the importance of positive decision making.”

Thus, Walt Disney World selected Planned Parenthood to create a program that will indoctrinate our young girls into the Planned Parenthood free-sex philosophy and then send them out to their friends to corrupt as many as possible.

This is not the first grant from Walt Disney World to this PP affiliate. In 2004, PPGO received a Disney grant of $18,500 for its Teen Resource Center.

And what does PPGO think about teens having sex? Here is the statement from its web site: “Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando recognizes that sex and sexuality is a part of life, a part of who we are, whether we practice abstinence or are sexually active. We understand that as a teen, you need a safe, caring place where you can receive confidential, non-judgmental and affordable reproductive health care services as well as get reliable and accurate answers to questions about sexuality and sexual health.”

And Disney World is paying Planned Parenthood thousands of dollars, which come from visitors to the park, to lead our kids into lives of sin. Please consider this information as you plan your summer trip.

Have you ever thought of Universal Studios as an alternative? Universal Studios is not on the list of corporations that support Planned Parenthood. If you really want to have an impact, go to Universal Studios, save all your receipts and then mail the receipts to Walt Disney World and tell them you would have spent the money at their resort if they hadn’t given to Planned Parenthood.
