Planned Parenthood recently released a book on sex, targeted at adolescents. “In case you’re curious: Questions about sex from young people with answers from the experts,” was dedicated by Planned Parenthood to “the next generation, the youth of today” — an odd dedication, considering the fact that Planned Parenthood kills 330,000 of the “next generation” every year, as the nation’s number one provider of abortion.<\/p>\n

The book<\/a>, written to “show folks that having questions is okay,” was authored by Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains<\/a> (PPRM) and staffers\u00a0Molly Alderton<\/a>\u00a0(PPRM’s Education Program Manager), Daniela Fellman<\/a>\u00a0(PPRM’s Manager of Texting Initiatives),\u00a0Sex Educator Meghan Hilton<\/a>, and\u00a0Julie LaBarr<\/a>\u00a0(PPRM Program Manager). According to the book’s editor,\u00a0Alison Macklin<\/a>\u00a0— also a\u00a0PPRM staffer<\/a>\u00a0and alleged “sex expert<\/a>” — the book is based on questions adolescents texted to PPRM’s\u00a0ICYC texting service<\/a>. The ICYC project was once referred<\/a> to as “a notch in our belt” by former PPRM Board member Charles Von Thun<\/a>, and by 2017, PPRM claims<\/a> they had responded to\u00a014,176 ICYC texts.<\/p>\n

  3. “Do guys really cum in their sleep?” and other questions about puberty.<\/li>\n
  4. “Is twelve too young to know I’m Bi?” and other questions about sexual attraction, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.<\/li>\n
  5. “Can you get an STI from a toilet seat?” and other questions about sexually transmitted infections.<\/li>\n
  6. “Do babies come out of the butt?” and other questions about pregnancy.<\/li>\n
  7. “Wait, condoms expire?” and other questions about birth control.<\/li>\n
  8. “Why do broken hearts hurt so badly?” and other questions about relationships.<\/li>\n

    “We use the terms “person with a penis” and “person with a vagina” in our answers instead of male, female, guy, girl, etc. We use this language because not every person who has a penis identifies as male, and not every person with a vagina identifies as female…” the book states in the introduction. And, right out of the gate, instead of discussing abstinence, PPRM tells their readers, “There isn’t a perfect checklist to make sure a person’s ready for sex….”<\/p>\n

    In addition, Planned Parenthood writes<\/a>, “The term “virgin” means different things to different people… it is up to each person to define what virginity means for themselves.”<\/p>\n
