Many years ago, I began researching Planned Parenthood (PP) to learn what kind of information they give young women. I read books about PP’s founder, Margaret Sanger, to learn her worldview and goals. I ordered PP brochures and instructive pamphlets. I studied the PP teen website. With two friends, I took a private tour of a well established PP facility so that I could learn firsthand what goes on inside the place where “parenthood” is “planned.” I’m more familiar with PP than I care to be. This summer, I’ve been following the undercover investigation of PP by Live Action in midwestern cities.
Live Action reveals that PP tells 15-year-olds: “In the sexual world, anything is normal.” PP says that the bondage, sadomasochism and pain inflicted in Fifty Shades of Grey is “normal” as long as it is “consensual.”
I’ve never read the novel Fifty Shades of Grey. I don’t plan to read it. I am ashamed to learn that women in my church have read it. But I wonder how they would respond if they knew that PP counsels fifteen-year-old girls to practice the same kind of sadomasochism described in that novel?
PP is dangerous. Very, very dangerous. You should see for yourself.
I have read it, it is poorly written and teaches people that a man with an deep rooted personality disorder and disdain for women is “normal.” The damage this book series has done will take its toll and it is extremely sad. I stayed in an abusive relationship, I consented to stay an get abused, that was my normal. Consensual doesn’t make it healthy.
