New Planned
Parenthood Commercial Pushes Limits
by Jessica Stollings Your tax dollars are paying for a new, raunchy commercial
produced by Planned Parenthood and aimed at teens.
The commercial depicts a young couple practicing safe
sex by using the right tools. Its part of Planned Parenthoods new
campaign that they claim promotes safe sex. But Jim Sedlak, with American Life League,
disagrees.
What the real intent is, is to get young people
involved in the sexual lifestyle, to let young people to see that sex is normal.
Or maybe to create new customers for their products.
Whats even more disturbing? Taxpayer money is funding it. Sedlak is calling on
government officials to stop the trend.
Planned Parenthood gets over 265 million dollars
a year in taxpayer funds, which is about one-third of their income. We need to synthesize
our elected officials that we dont want our tax payer money going to Planned
Parenthood and this is a time to do it, in election year.
Dr. LaVerne Tolbert is a researcher in abstinence
education. She says this commercial gives teens a false sense of security that sexual
activity is accepted and expected.
If we would be more pro-active in teaching
abstinence, I believe that, no matter what the message is from Planned Parenthood, our
kids would be equipped to make the right decision.
A petition is underway to demand that legislators cut
the $265 million annual government funding allotted to Planned Parenthood at the federal,
state and local levels. To find out more information, or to sign the petition, go online
