I did notice that Komen did not make a reversal, yet it seems most are under the impression that they have. One only has to go to Komen’s source documents, which they have published, to read the truth. As you said earlier, “Satan can disguise himself in many “socially conscious” ways.” I find it sad that so many have been fooled.

Thank you for helping to set the record straight.

I glanced quickly over through the link you submitted, thanks for providing it. The important thing I noticed was how the writer continued to say that Komen had a reversal, thus making Komen look bad and indecisive and yielding to Planned Parenthood, when in fact it made no such reversal. As my next post pointed out, every organization should be free to give it’s grant money to whomever it wants and what Planned Parenthood and its supporters did was throw a fit when someone dared to say that PP was not up to their standards.

I believe the truth is that PP needs the legitimacy of association with Komen to maintain their facade of being a “women’s health care clinic.” The truth is the Komen grants didn’t amount to a whole lot of money compared to PP’s entire revenue stream and whatever services PP did provide could have been provided from other revenue sources. That’s the truth we need people to see.

I’m not necessarily trying to defend Komen, I’m just trying to help people see the truth about Planned Parenthood.

“We’ve seen in this ugly media-driven story that Satan can disguise himself in many “socially conscious” ways…this time he disguised himself as support for the abstract and misleading concept of “women’s health.” Even the apostle John warned of the need to be discerning when it comes to the world’s messaging; “They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”(—1 John 4:5-6) But this is nothing new. Jesus Himself said “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” (–Matthew 10:16) But this same Jesus brings consolation when He says, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (–John 16:33)]”

Respectfully, JW

I’ve read the pamphlet, and obviously you disagree, but their is a very recognized right for sexual and reproductive health that the pamphlet advocates. Teaching people how to live with issues that regularly cause conflict in the lives of those afflicted helps them to live safely and without unnecessary burden. Contrary to your beliefs, Planned Parenthood does not advocate abortion on the go, but recognizes it is a difficult decision and offers a safe procedure that will not harm any parties physically (except for the rare accidents, of course). Planned Parenthood also does not advocate keeping sexual activity a secret from those involved, as you indicated while quoting “You should find out whether there are any centers near to you where you can go without needing the permission of your parents or guardians.”, but recognizes (like most STD facilties and health clinics) that oftentimes teenagers need to be able to check on STD’s and other health information without their parents, or just that they would be too scared to get checked if their parents knew.

Thanks for asking, Jason. Here’s one of many possible scenarios.

Young children are very susceptible to influence by other children or adults. Sometimes, children who are sexually abused don’t necessarily know that what they are doing, or what is being done to them, is wrong or harmful.

So let’s say an older child (we’ll call him “Billy”) tells a younger child (we’ll call him “Johnny”) that they’re going to play a game. The first step of the game is for Johnny to ask the school nurse for a condom. She is not allowed to ask questions and cannot even note that Johnny received a condom. According to this policy the nurse definitely cannot tell Johnny’s parents that she gave him a condom.

The next step is for Billy to tell Johnny that they’re going to play a game with the condom and see what they can use it for. I’ll leave it up to your imagination.

The final step is for Billy to tell Johnny that this is their little secret and that Johnny should tell no one. In fact, if Johnny tells anyone, even his parents, then Billy won’t be able to play with him anymore. So Johnny doesn’t tell anyone, not even his parents, and he keeps getting condoms from the school nurse; and he and Billy keep playing their little game with Billy’s stick.

By having a veil of secrecy and not recording who gets these condoms and by not allowing parents to opt their children out of the program, the stage has been set for a sexual predator to hide in plain sight. And the same might happen to little “Joanne.”

I have always been wary of the girl scouts, but to be fair, it’s because I believe that the secret ingredient in their cookies is human souls. While not an airtight case yet, I am chalking their partnership with PP as evidence of their evil!

I disagree with your statement that their silence doesn’t mean anything. The fact that they are trying to disassociate themselves from the distribution of the brochures says they are are fearful that the content of the brochure will damage their reputation. It’s a red herring to make a big deal about how the brochures were distributed but remain silent on the content of the brochure itself. If they think the content could harm their reputation, and they are not in agreement with the content, then why wouldn’t they say that publicly in order to mitigate the damage to their reputation?

The Girl Scouts’ silence on the content implies agreement with the content, which means they have taken a stance on sexual activity by adolescent girls. And I don’t prefer it that way as I have young female family members who will be at risk physically, emotionally, and spiritually if exposed to this kind of sexual aggrandizement.
