Planned Parenthood's Porn Promo

Charming folks, those Planned Parenthood people.

Hot on the heels of the latest exposé of Planned Parenthood personnel counseling about how minor girls can obtain abortions without revealing they have been victims of statutory rape comes this news: Planned Parenthood staff intended to give a presentation prior to the airing of an XXX-rated film on the campus of the University of Maryland.

Thankfully, the student union-approved plan to air the porn movie was canceled today by university officials after state legislators threatened to cut off millions of dollars of taxpayer funding if the university didn’t take action.

But that doesn’t diminish Planned Parenthood’s culpability in agreeing to appear before the film was aired. The organization intended to offer students information “on abstinence, sexually transmitted infections, condom use and emergency contraception,” according to this Baltimore Sun article.

Get that? Planned Parenthood, presumably with a straight face, claimed to the Sun’s reporter that their presence at the porn film’s airing was intended partly so that they could provide advice about “abstinence” to an audience of hormonally charged college students about to immerse themselves in a pornographic movie.

If you believe Planned Parenthood really had any interest in promoting abstinence at the canceled airing, we know about several shuttered abortion facilities located on prime swampland in the Florida Everglades that you might be interested in purchasing.

The preceding sentence in the Baltimore Sun article gives a much more honest glimpse of Planned Parenthood’s motives in offering a presentation to the college students.

Reported the Sun, “The organization agreed because it would be a chance to reach a population it doesn’t normally have access to, said Dr. Laura Meyers, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington.”

Yes, that one we can believe. Planned Parenthood hoped it would have an opportunity to present itself to some young college students whose morals were about to be corrupted by viewing hard-core porn — in case those kids subsequently were induced by what they viewed to engage in sexual activities that might require the anti-life wares from which Planned Parenthood earns hundreds of millions of dollars.

Charming folks, indeed.
