Coming Soon: Planned Parenthood's Inalienable Right - Sexual Freedom for Children

Washington, D.C. (28 October 2009) – International Planned Parenthood Federation’s new document “Sexual Rights: An IPPF Declaration," exposed in American Life League's latest ALL Report, could have a significant impact on health care policy under the presidential administration's new plan.

In “A Declaration of Debauchery,” ALL’s Michael Hichborn analyzed the IPPF declaration released in June.  Goals of the declaration include a universal right to tax-funded abortion on demand, granting children autonomous rights to sexual pleasure according to their “capacity,” and allowing child predators to conceal past criminal sexual history.

“The declaration is completely consistent with Planned Parenthood’s record of sexualizing children,” said Rita Diller, director of ALL's STOP Planned Parenthood project. “But what is historic about this is for the first time Planned Parenthood has completely divorced sexual rights from reproductive rights. Planned Parenthood has been outed – they are about uninhibited sex for everyone – including children.”

And as the nation debates the Obama administration’s pro-abortion, pro-Planned Parenthood health agenda, the IPPF declaration could have significant meaning.

“The health care reform bill could grant Planned Parenthood a quasi-government position,” Diller said.  “If that happens, Planned Parenthood could use its national position to implement this IPPF policy.”

The current version of America’s Healthy Future Act creates a new program called the National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Resource Center. (Section 1823) According to the requirements, this program will be granted to “a nationally recognized, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization” that “has demonstrated experience working with and providing assistance to a broad range of individuals and entities to reduce teen pregnancy,” and “is research-based and has comprehensive knowledge and data about teen pregnancy prevention strategies.”

“It seems the wording was framed with Planned Parenthood in mind,” Diller continued.  “If this provision remains, and Planned Parenthood is granted control of that program, this “Declaration of Debauchery” could well be the cornerstone for prohibiting restrictions on the sexual activity of children.”

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to natural death.  For more information or press inquiries, please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.
