'Sextionary' Defines Planned Parenthood's Agenda for Teens (Michael L. Betsch, November 11, 2002, CNSNews.com)In an attempt to prevent America's youth from depending on "unreliable sources" for "life-saving" sexual health information, Planned Parenthood Federation of America has launched its 'Sextionary' to serve as the Internet's authoritative sex education destination.Utilizing cartoon-like animation to depict sexually oriented issues in a "fun" manner, Planned Parenthood boasts that the Sextionary "engages teens in a process that allows them to learn about sexuality." And, the pro-abortion group assures young visitors that it's providing "sexuality and relationship information that you can trust."
The Sextionary offers teens a variety of interactive options that attempt to define a wide array of sexual health terms and issues that Planned Parenthood claims are "commonly misunderstood." Visitors are prompted to click a puzzle icon to play "Games," a movie camera to view "Movies," and a treasure chest to take "Quizzes."
The only one way to win the game entitled, "Jim Dandy and His Very Gay Day," is to agree with Planned Parenthood's pro-homosexual agenda.
According to an animated alien that narrates the game, "Being gay is a little like being left-handed; it's not something that you choose, it's simply the way you are. And the way you are is perfectly fine, no matter which hand you write with, no matter who you're attracted to."
We're certain you'll be hearing just as much outrage about this as about the Boy Scouts requiring members to profess reverence for God. Posted by Orrin Judd at November 11, 2002 2:05 PM
No doubt. On the other hand, I had the Catholic version of sex education, and it was even worse.

We could also stick "murderer", "car thief", or "wife beater" into that sentence and change the active verbs appropriately.
Harry: The Catholics don't read the Old Testament enough. Getting most of the curricula from St. Paul is like visiting an art museum and only looking at a small collection of Jackson Pollacks

Why would Planned Parenthood spend any of its resources dealing with gay issues? Lots of things flow from a gay sexual relationship, but parenthood isn't one of them.

Because they oppose parenthood.
By the way, that's not meant to be flip, Margaret Sanger founded the organization to get immigrants to stop having babies.
Posted by: oj at November 12, 2002 11:17 AMThis is one reason the GOP will not win many permanent Jewish voters (see my comment on GOP and Jews in that thread). We know you guys think like this and it makes us trepidatious to see you running the country.
The vast majority of Planned Parenthood's work is in providing low-cost GYN services and birth control. PP is pro-choice. The more women who have access to contraception that works, the less they will need abortions.
Lesbians are as vulnerable to rape and need GYN services as much as any other woman. Many gay couples adopt. An adoptive family is still a family.
Whatever Margaret Sanger's original motives (which I grant were suspect), that was 100 years ago. 100 years ago Catholics were still beating up Jews on Easter Sunday for "killing Christ." Does that mean I shouldn't believe the Church repudiated that?
