Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey's Child Liberty University From the SelectedWorks of Judith A. Reisman October 22, 2015 Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey’s Child Abuse Crimes Judith A. Reisman, PhD Available at: https://works.bepress.com/judith_reisman/8/ Planned Parenthood Legitimizes Kinsey’s Child Abuse Crimes By Judith Gelernter Reisman1 “I have never been more humiliated in all my life,” Catherine said. 'I felt dirty and defiled after seeing the [pornographic] film. But then, when I had to put that thing on Billy's finger--well, that was just awful. It was horrible. It was like I'd been raped. Raped in my mind. Raped by my school. Raped by Planned Parenthood. I think I was--that we all have been--betrayed." George Grant’s Grand Illusions, The Legacy of Planned Parenthood.1 Sex educators have either a mental block -- a strong repression -- or, for some reason, cannot understand that their sex programs are directly responsible for the pregnancies, abortions, perversion, suicides and psychological, as well as, physical venereal diseases that are epidemic in today's youths. They not only deny their accountability, but have the gall to consider themselves the saviors of today's youths and claim they are protecting young people from the teaching, or lack of teaching, of sexually-inhibited parents and outmoded religion. Dr. Marvin Anshell, “A Psychoanalytic Look at Today's Sex Education” 19852 Aiding and Abetting Statutory Rapists First my disclaimer. I was a Planned Parenthood supporter until the 1960s. I agreed with their argument that sex should not be considered “dirty” and that children had sex because it was “forbidden fruit.” Sexual “shame,” seemed to be the cause of “high” rates of “illegitimacy.” Planned Parenthood would teach children scientific words for body parts, (not “wee wee” and “bottom”). Treating sex openly and honestly would produce better marriages, fewer “shot gun” marriages and unwanted babies, fewer abortions and less syphilis and gonorrhea. Planned Parenthood would open the gates wide to the kindly sexual utopia for which we all longed. It didn’t happen that way. I was wrong. Planned Parenthood was wrong. But although I recognized my glaring, naïve stupidity by the 1960s, Planned Parenthood leaders kept careening toward utopia. As Kinsey clones, PP willfully ignored the facts: their kind of “sex education” was harmful to children. This chapter briefly addresses that harm and its costs to us all. In 1965 the United States Supreme Court: 1 Judith Gelernter Reisman, Ph.D. Research Professor, Director Liberty Center for Child Protection, Liberty University School of Law ….handed Planned Parenthood the Griswold v. Connecticut decision… setting the stage for court decisions that decriminalized abortion and opened the door for children to engage in sexual activity without their parents' knowledge and with the help of Planned Parenthood's products.3 One of the many baleful consequences of Griswold has been Planned Parenthood’s role in covering up statutory rape, discussed earlier. Let me reiterate. If a minor “willingly participates he or she could not legally consent” to “sexual intercourse” with an adult. Again, in some districts, statutory rape does not mean the child even consented to the assault. In either case, the law understood that adults could often seduce children into illegal activities. Since the 1960s PP has been increasingly active in endangering children’s lives. On March 29, 2005, Life Legal Defense Foundation (LLDF) filed suit against Planned Parenthood of the Southwest Ohio Region on behalf of a Hamilton County couple who claimed their [14-year-old] daughter was coerced into an abortion by an adult boyfriend with the connivance of Planned Parenthood employees. * * * The complaint alleges that, ignoring Ohio law, Planned Parenthood's agents performed an abortion on the minor child without notifying or obtaining the consent of her parents. The complaint further alleges that despite the distraught teenager's giving the name and address of her father, Planned Parenthood unlawfully performed the abortion on the sole authority of the boyfriend, who represented himself as the girl's stepbrother as a cover-up for statutory rape.4 Planned Parenthood’s aiding and abetting of statutory rapists by aborting their victims’ babies5 grabbed the attention of several state Attorneys Generals. In 2005 Indiana’s Medical Fraud Control Unit and Attorney General Steve Carter subpoenaed Planned Parenthood’s abortion records on minors. Planned Parenthood sued to halt the investigation citing the (Griswold) right to “privacy.” Meanwhile, in Kansas, on January 28, 2006 a federal appellate court ruled that as sex is illegal for minors, Planned Parenthood must obey Kansas laws mandating reports of underage sexual activity. Kansas Planned Parenthood said this is “government meddling"6 in children’s private sex lives. Their critics claim that Planned Parenthood’s interest is in protecting both adult offenders and the profits they make from treating STDs resulting from early sex and from the teenage abortions carried out in their “abortion mills.”7 [Kansas Attorney General Phill] Kline had questioned how there could be 78 abortions on juvenile girls in one year, without a single sexual assault case being filed. (He said he's sent information on 25 such cases to local prosecutors already)….The babies aborted ranged up to 31 weeks old….on girls as young as 10, according to records that Kline subpoenaed from Tiller and Planned Parenthood's abortion business in Kansas.8 2 Kline argued that since unmarried underage sex was criminal abuse, Planned Parenthood must report children under age 16 who abort, who have an STD or who seek contraceptives.9 Facing powerful special interest opposition Kline lost his bid for re-election in 2006. As of this writing, replies from the new Democratic Attorney General Paul Morrison’s office suggests that he will not prosecute such adults for statutory rape. Kinsey’s Role in the Rise of “Planned Parenthood” After Kinsey “scientifically” sexualized children “from birth” teachers would have to be found whose training made them “experts” in teaching children about sex. Until Kinsey, health and home economics teachers were largely responsible for teaching girls about menstruation, and girls and boys about reproduction, sometimes, behavior in marriage and that sex outside of marriage often results in venereal diseases. These were short biology lessons and shorter lessons in household finances. Children were taught that sex was lovely--but only in marriage for reasons of health, happiness and societal well being. Kinsey’s charge of a ‘child Eros’ meant that children were entitled to sexual expression. The Planned Parenthood and SIECUS training is based upon this view of a ‘Juvenile Sexual Entitlement’ program. Sexperts claimed that denying children sexual expression could thwart their normal, healthy sexual development. And, since The Greatest Generation had denied the existence of ‘child Eros,’ it followed that The Greatest Generation were sexually repressed. Common Americans had rejected Freud’s theory that toddlers wanted sex with the opposite sex parent. Such a citizenry could not be expected to understand Kinsey’s discovery that children experienced sexual lust even without sex hormones. Those parents, doctors, nurses, scientists or teachers who dared reject Kinsey’s claims of ‘child Eros’ certainly could not teach it. Kinsey’s new sexperts were obviously the only ones who could teach youngsters libido etiquette and technique. As noted elsewhere, Planned Parenthood and SIECUS eagerly sought and would share that job. Both anti-faith groups would teach children that their parents’ morality was unscientific; its only aim to sexually repress their children. Teenagers would be taught to mimic Kinsey’s psychopathologies. They would be told that sex and orgasms were their “natural” rights from birth; sex with themselves, with other children and even with adults. Planned Parenthood and SIECUS would eventually seduce children with pornographic films, magazines, books and sex “games” Play time!10 Having taught children they could, and should, be sexually active, Planned Parenthood’s Kinseyan “sex ed” curricula would eventually have to provide masturbatory and “contraceptive information” in text and pictures. Text and pictures would show children how to use a condom or “dental dam” during various sodomies to “protect” them from STDs. Since Planned Parenthood stressed sexual “diversity” teachers, films and texts would supply directions for all homosexual and heterosexual pseudo-erotic acts. Finally, once the children were trained to be sexually active, Planned Parenthood would direct the sexually liberated youngsters to local Planned Parenthood clinics for “safe sex” condoms that prevented STDs and babies. However, even when used “properly” STDs and 3 semen do often slip right through the little rubber tubes. The evidence has been in for years that condoms fail and do not assure safety from STDs or pregnancy.11 Planned Parenthood critic Jim Sedlak calls Planned Parenthood Federation “An American business 'success' story,” a company whose “main products and services” promote uninhibited sexual activity via “120 affiliates and its 860 facilities across the United States.” So dedicated is this enterprise to the avocation of sex that when it published its 25-year plan in 2000, its No. 1 goal was to make sure that sex is celebrated. Thus, the business model for this enterprise is: Get young people involved in sex; sell them products to use while having sex to avoid pregnancies and diseases; and provide back-up products and procedures to undo the results of the failures of its primary products – and to do all of this while convincing the American public and the government that it is providing a needed public-health service so that it can be granted tax-exempt status and never have to pay a penny in taxes on its profits.12 So Planned Parenthood urges juvenile sex with condoms, then drugs for STDs and the abortion of thousands of unanticipated babies in its “reproductive health” clinics.

  • Abortion's Forgotten Issues
    Abortion’s Forgotten Issues Last January marked the 40th anniversary of the infamous Roe Vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that opened the doors for widespread abortions. That was a long time ago, but the debate still rages on. Pro-abortion advocates talk about the “Reproductive rights of women” while the pro-life side proclaims the importance of the “Right to life.” Those debates are pretty well known and are worth discussing, but I want to put them aside for the moment. There are two other very important abortion issues that have never made it (as far as I know) into the national debate. Those two issues are racism and the effect that abortion has on women. Let’s take them one at a time. It has long been reported that Margaret Sanger (1883-1966), the founder of Planned Parenthood (which has become the largest abortion provider in America) was a racist. She did make some comments that could be taken that way, but her actions leave no doubt. In 1939 she established the “Negro Project” and later the “Population Congress.” Both were supposed to eliminate poverty by keeping the poor from reproducing, and that primarily meant blacks. In her own words Margaret Sanger said, “The main objectives of the Population Congress is to…apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny [children] is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.” Ms. Sanger’s intentions may just appear to be tainted by racism, but there is no question that the actions of Planned Parenthood today are overtly racist.

  • Sex Education and How It Got Into the Schools
    Sex Education and How It Got Into the Schools By Samuel L. Blumenfeld The idea that people needed to be educated about sex probably began with the founding of the birth control movement by Margaret Sanger, who launched a crusade early in the 20th Century to provide women with birth control information. It was Sanger's work as a visiting nurse that turned her interest to sex education and women's health. Influenced by anarchist Emma Goldman, she began to advocate the need for family limitation as a means by which working-class women could liberate themselves from the burden of unwanted pregnancy. In 1914, Sanger published the first issue of The Woman Rebel, which advocated militant feminism and the right to practice birth control. She also wrote a 16-page pamphlet, Family Limitation, which provided explicit instructions on the use of contraceptive methods. In August 1914, Sanger was indicted for violating postal obscenity laws. She jumped bail in October and set sail for England. In England she became acquainted with a number of British radicals, feminists, and neo­ Malthusians whose social and economic theories helped her develop broader scientific and social justifications for birth control. She was also deeply influenced by psychologist Havelock Ellis and his theories on female sexuality and free love. In 1915, Sanger returned to the United States. The government's case against her was dropped. In 1916, she opened the nation's first birth control clinic in Brooklyn, New York. After nine days of operation, the clinic was raided, and Sanger and staff were arrested.
