IPPF’s declaration on ‘sexual rights’, Part 3: Enforcing depravity
Ripe and about to burst from its cyclical consumption and regurgitation of sexual excess, and giddy from its assertion of “rights” intended to ensure that depravity will run rampant, IPPF brandishes its sword of bravado and demands laws to enforce its newly-defined “sexual rights” by any and all means.
As we previously reported, after two years of preparation, International Planned Parenthood Federation has issued a document intended to create “change,” promote and ensure “sexual rights” as human rights, and promote the use of legislative and judicial action to enforce these supposed rights. It is titled Sexual rights: an IPPF declaration. We conclude our special report on IPPF’s declaration on ‘sexual rights’ with this issue of the Wednesday STOPP Report.
In this dangerous declaration of “sexual rights,” IPPF lays claim to many so-called rights that simply have no basis in truth. Thus, the declaration itself becomes a lie and leads to disregard for genuine human rights.
We have previously discussed the preamble, the seven “principles” upon which these supposed “sexual rights” are based, and the first five of the 10 “sexual rights” PP is espousing. We will now take a close look at the final five “rights.”
“Article 6. Right to freedom of thought, opinion and expression; right to association”
IPPF leaps beyond its usual defiance of social, cultural and moral norms, claiming the “right” to spit in the face of public order, public morality, public health and public security for the sake of expressing ideas about sexuality.
Further, we see IPPF laying claim to our children once again, as it attempts to exclude the influence of parents through demanding the “right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including the right to hold opinions without interference, within a framework of non-discrimination and respect for the evolving capacity of children.”
In the third paragraph, IPPF attempts to free “all persons” from “fear, shame, guilt, false beliefs and other impediments to the free expression of their desires.” Does this not sound like Satan himself, skulking in the shadows, claiming the ability to take away shame, guilt and, yes, those ridiculous false beliefs that would prevent a person from pursuing whatever he might desire?
IPPF then makes another pathetic attempt at establishing itself as the supreme authority regarding our children, by claiming everyone has the “right” to “receive and impart information and ideas with regard to… sexuality through any legal medium and regardless of frontiers,” and—surprise—relying on its favorite phrase yet again: “within a framework of non-discrimination and taking into consideration the rights of others and the evolving capacity of children.”
This article concludes by claiming the “right” to do all of the above through groups and organizations, “through any medium.”
“Article 7. Right to health and to the benefits of scientific progress”
IPPF attempts to lay waste to the conscience rights of those health-care providers and others who do not wish to participate in its mandate of unbridled sex, immoral reproductive technology, dangerous contraception and abortion, by stating, “All persons shall have access to health care and services independently of the conscientious objection of health service providers” (emphasis added).
Here IPPF also attempts to ensure the “right” to “reproductive health technologies, services or medical interventions,” once again invoking the “principle of the evolving capacity of the child.”
“Article 8. Right to education and information”
Among the many descriptive terms that come to mind regarding this declaration, “redundant” looms large. It’s as if IPPF believes that if it repeats something often enough, it will become truth and law.
IPPF claims that all persons have the “right” to “comprehensive sexuality education and information.” As we reported earlier in our analysis, Planned Parenthood pushes for what it calls comprehensive sexuality education, as opposed to abstinence education, which PP opposes.
Article 8 also calls for “empowering [young people] to participate in determining policy regarding sexual health and sexuality education.”
It further claims the “right” to educate children about all sorts of perverse sex, saying, “Young people in particular shall have access to information on sexuality and gender non-conforming lives and sexual relations.”
Next, IPPF seeks to ensure that this education in perversion is available free from parental interference, in school-, health-service- and community-based settings. Included in this section is the assertion that all persons will decide “when, how, and with whom to have sex and when sexual behavior will become reproductive.”
“Article 9. Right to choose whether or not to marry and to found and plan a family, and to decide whether or not, how and when, to have children”
As this document nears its end, it becomes clear that IPPF is attempting to eradicate the most basic building block of our society: the institution of marriage.
The traditional family consisting of one man and one woman joined in marriage and surrounded by the children who are the very expression of the spouses’ love for one another, is the model designed by God Himself for the happiness and survival of the human race.
In his 1930 encyclical Casti Connubii (On Christian Marriage), Pope Pius XI grieved that “a great number of men, forgetful of that divine work of redemption, either entirely ignore or shamelessly deny the great sanctity of Christian wedlock, or relying on the false principles of a new and utterly perverse morality, too often trample it under foot.”
He went on to explain that “since these most pernicious errors and depraved morals have begun to spread even amongst the faithful and are gradually gaining ground,” he was duty-bound to raise his voice to keep the flock committed to his care “from poisoned pastures.” By way of this article, IPPF spreads its most lethal poison on the verdant pastures that are intended to support human life.
In the initial paragraph of this article of the IPPF declaration, claim is made to laws and policies that “recognize the diversity of the family forms as including those not defined by descent or marriage.”
Broadcasting the toxic idea of even children entering into these types of relationships, the document claims the “right” for all persons to “enter freely and with full consent into marriage or other partnership arrangements.”
Article 9 then attempts to force you and me to pay for these illicit partnerships, by claiming to grant the “right” to “family-related social welfare” benefits, “independently of the family form they have chosen to found, including those not defined by descent or marriage.”
It then claims the “right” to adopt or create children within these unholy bonds, and to “reproductive technologies, and treatments” deemed necessary for accomplishing those goals. It seeks to ensure the utilization of life-destroying contraception and abortion and, once again, invokes the “evolving capacity of children.”
Then, invoking perhaps the biggest oxymoron ever, it calls for the “right” to “safe abortion… accessible, affordable, acceptable and convenient to all users” (emphasis added). Abortion always involves the termination of an innocent human life. Safe abortion? For whom?
“Article 10. Right to accountability and redress”
“All persons have the right to effective, adequate, accessible and appropriate educative, legislative, judicial and other measures to ensure and demand that those who are duty-bound to uphold sexual rights are fully accountable to them,” it states. “This includes the ability to monitor the implementation of sexual rights and to access remedies for violations of sexual rights, including access to full redress through restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, guarantee of non-repetition and any other means” (emphasis added).
It then calls for States to “establish mechanisms of accountability for ensuring that their obligations related to the guarantee of sexual rights are fully upheld,” and specifically calls for “non-state actors whose actions or omissions impact upon [all persons’] enjoyment of sexual rights” to be held accountable for the lack of such enjoyment.
This rehashes Principle 7, which specifically names not-for-profit and religious entities among those who should be held accountable for actions and omissions that deprive persons of the enjoyment of “sexual rights.”
Prophetic proclamations
In his 1930 encyclical On Christian Marriage, Pope Pius XI apparently foresaw attacks on the traditional family:
Some men go so far as to concoct new species of unions, suited, as they say, to the present temper of men and the times… These offer all the indulgence of matrimony and its rights without, however, the indissoluble bond, and without offspring…
Indeed there are some who desire and insist that these practices be legitimatized by the law or, at least, excused by their general acceptance among the people. They do not seem even to suspect that these proposals partake of nothing of the modern ‘culture’ in which they glory so much, but are simply hateful abominations which beyond all question reduce our truly cultured nations to the barbarous standards of savage peoples…
But no reason, however grave, may be put forward by which anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good.
He called for a return to the divine plan for marriage.
Rx for unbridled lust: Subject yourself to God
Pope Pius XI said:
"Wherefore, since the chief obstacle to this study is the power of unbridled lust, which indeed is the most potent cause of sinning against the sacred laws of matrimony, and since man cannot hold in check his passions, unless he first subject himself to God, this must be his primary endeavor, in accordance with the plan divinely ordained."
"For it is a sacred ordinance that whoever shall have first subjected himself to God will, by the aid of divine grace, be glad to subject to himself his own passions and concupiscence; while he who is a rebel against God will, to his sorrow, experience within himself the violent rebellion of his worst passions."
If our society is to avoid terminal decay, we must subject our passions to God’s will. IPPF’s rebellion against God and His plan for chaste marriage is destined to bring those who revel in this rebellion to ruin.
Planned Parenthood caught breaking the rules again!
Live Action Films has released its sixth video exposing what Planned Parenthood does behind closed doors. This time, PP at 1211 27th Place South in Birmingham, Alabama, was caught trying to avoid reporting what was presented as a statutory rape case.
When Lila Rose, a 20-year-old UCLA student, went undercover as a 14-year-old girl seeking an abortion at the PP facility in Birmingham, AL, she was told by the PP employee, regarding her alleged 31-year-old boyfriend, “As long as you consented to having sex with him, there’s nothing we can truly do about that.” Yet, any suspected cases of sexual abuse must be reported immediately.
The PP employee also admitted that PP does “sometimes bend the rules a little bit.” PP, the largest abortion chain in America, is more concerned about getting money from this girl and killing her preborn baby than the possibility that this young girl has been raped! PP, which killed a total of 305,310 babies by abortion in 2007, is more focused on performing abortions than providing real help for women.
We must defund PP once and for all! Sign the petition here: www.stopplannedparenthoodtaxfunding.com

After years of one-child policy, South Korea is running out of young people
According to Choi Seon-jeong, head of the Korean affiliate of International Planned Parenthood Federation, known now as the Planned Population Federation of Korea, the Korean government has pushed a policy promoting one child per family since the 1960s. Government operatives and PP have successfully worked to engineer a society that does not look favorably on marriage and children, as evidenced by a current fertility rate of 1.19, as compared to 6.1 children per family in the 1960s.
Such a decline means a very low number of young people, who will have to provide for a disproportionately large elderly population.
Now, after realizing that the low fertility rate is destroying the nation because the aging population will not be able to support itself, the head of the Korean PP affiliate has done a 180 and is encouraging couples to have more children.
He told the JoongAng Daily, “Religious groups need to advocate respect for life, abortion prevention and positive values on marriage and parenthood, encouraging the younger generation to form families and have children.”
A reporter from MercatorNet.com was incredulous that a PP official would make such a comment. “These are unusual suggestions from Planned Parenthood. Does this indicate a shift in policy, or special circumstances faced by Korea?” he queried.
Choi Seon-jeong responded:
It is true that Korea implemented the family control policy to reduce the volume of population. It was a kind of family planning to meet the needs of that time… So when too many children impose a heavy burden on a family and the society, to reduce the number could be an appropriate way of family planning. On the contrary, when there are few children, to bear and raise more children will contribute to our happiness and the way of family planning will be also changed accordingly.
As of July 1, 2007, South Korea had the fourth lowest total fertility rate in Asia with a total of 0.96 children per woman. South Korea was also part of the largest drop in total fertility rates during the time period 1965-2007 at -83 percent. A fertility rate of 2.1 is needed to demographically sustain a society.
Accurate abortion numbers are non-existent, since abortion remains illegal in South Korea, except in limited circumstances. It is reported, however, that the laws against abortion are ignored and abortion is extremely commonplace.
With the population aging quickly, Choi Seon-jeong predicts conflict between the generations. Will euthanasia be the answer? A country that loses respect for preborn life soon loses respect for all life.
Pro-lifers fighting PP’s sex ed programs in Corpus Christi
We have seen great success against PP in Texas. We have reported on the 19 PP facilities that have shut down in the Panhandle and the seven clinics in El Paso whose doors are now closed.
Now STOPPers in Corpus Christi, Texas, are laying the groundwork to fight PP’s sex education programs in the schools. By following STOPP’s plan to research PP funding, the Corpus Christi group uncovered a long list of schools in which Planned Parenthood is active.
Therese Perez, of the South Texas STOPP affiliate, wrote the following:
Some very interesting information has come our way concerning Planned Parenthood here in Corpus Christi and schools that collaborate with them.
This information comes directly from Planned Parenthood’s 2008 contract with the Nueces County Hospital District.
The contract reads that these schools make “Contributions/Services” to the “Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative” by providing to Planned Parenthood in each of these schools, “facility and participants.”
Planned Parenthood of South Texas is in the following local schools.
Baker Middle School
Banquete High School
Calallen High School
Carroll High School
CCISD Alternative High School
Collegiate High School
Cullen Middle School
Cunningham Middle School
Driscoll Middle School
Evans Elementary
Gibson Elementary
Grant Middle School
Hamlin Middle School
Hattie Martin Elementary-Robstown
King High School
Lamar Elementary
Lotspeich Elementary-Robstown
Martin Middle School
Miller High School
Moody High School
Ray High School
Richard Milbourne Academy
Robstown High School
San Pedro Elementary
Seale Jr. High
South Park Middle School
Tom Browne Middle School
Tuloso Midway High School
West Oso High School
Wynn Seale Academy of Fine Arts
Zavala Elementary
That’s an amazing amount of information obtained by following our simple plan. We have described the procedure for obtaining this information in Part 2 of “STOPP International’s plan for defeating Planned Parenthood”:
• Ask for a list of all contracts between your local government and Planned Parenthood under the Freedom of Information Act.
• If you determine that there are contracts between your government and Planned Parenthood, ask for copies of all the contracts.
• You should also ask for the reports on how contract money was spent.
Once you have discovered which schools PP has infiltrated, it’s time to get them out. To read more on this, please visit: www.stopp.org/plan.htm. If you need assistance, contact us by e-mail: stopp@all.org
