Planned Parenthood says ‘virginity is a social construct’

40

Planned Parenthood has said many things in the past years that make conservatives cringe. The group, funded by taxpayers, says that sex is a label you are “assigned by a doctor at birth.”

Gender is a social construct — made up by society, the group says.

Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider and is now one of the largest providers of gender-transition services in America.

Now, Planned Parenthood is saying that “Virginity is a social construct. It is almost always a term used to describe young women.” At least in that sentence, the group acknowledges that there are, indeed, women.

The organization says that the term virginity is not scientifically based, and should not be used because it comes from a patriarchal point of view.

In a blog post by Planned Parenthood, the organization writes, “Virginity is a one and done deal. Once you’ve lost your virginity, you can never get it back.”

That much everyone can agree on.

“That’s why we focus on abstinence and effective forms of birth control instead. Abstinence is something you can return to throughout your life when that is the right decision for you,” the group continues.

In other words, the organization agrees that scientifically, virginity is a one-and-done deal. But the organization is going further, and disputing the idea that virginity is something worth holding onto.

“In other less progressive parts of the country where abstinence-only education is king, young women are taught during sex education that virginity is something to be cherished. During some of these classes, teachers give a live demonstration of what they think virginity is all about by asking students to share a piece of chewed gum, comparing that gum to people who have had sex,” Planned Parenthood writes, making abstinence-only education into a male construct (king, rather than queen).

Whether or not the story of chewing gum is true, the organization is clearly taking aim at social conservatives and Christians who promote chastity.

“That makes young women think if they have sex once, no one will ever want to have a relationship with them, and that is simply not true. We need to move far away from this type of shaming and toward sex education that is proven to work.”

The sex education proven to work for Planned Parenthood is pushing boys to take hormones to help them transition their gender appearance into female, and helping girls grow beards and lower their voices in anticipation of having their breasts chopped off and artificial penises constructed from arm tissue.

And for the rest of the children who insist on heterosexuality, the abortion mill wants them to not wait to have sex, because that dries up the market for abortions.

The recently released annual report of Planned Parenthood for the years 2021-2022 reveals that taxpayer funding has reached a record-breaking level for Planned Parenthood, while it keeps its main ambitions on abortion. By the numbers, there has been a decline in visits for essential healthcare services such as cancer screening and prevention, and prenatal care. In addition, Planned Parenthood has expanded its range of services to transgender services, with an apparent aim to establish dominance in this field.

According to the medical data section of its report, Planned Parenthood provided the following statistics:

  • The number of abortions performed in 2020 was 374,155, close to the previous year’s all-time high of 383,460.
  • Breast screenings and Pap tests accounted for 470,419, indicating an increase from 373,755 in the previous year.
  • Adoption referrals totaled 1,803, a slight decrease from 1,940 in the previous year and less than half of the 4,279 reported three years ago.
  • Planned Parenthood performed 208 abortions for every adoption referral. Additionally, the number of patients served by Planned Parenthood declined once again, with a total of 2.13 million patients.

In other words, Planned Parenthoods needs those lifetime transgender chemically dependent clients, and they also need girls to abandon the idea of chastity.

It’s a business model to keep the customers coming. So to speak.

  1. My Granny always told me to keep my ankles crossed, my knees together and my mouth shut. I believe she was speaking of more than just good manners.

  2. I imagine years ago this agency, like so many of our government agencies, started with good intentions and provided a valuable service. Then again, like so many of our agencies, they were pirated by Liberals with an agenda and now look where they are.

    • Planned Parenthood is not a Government agency, but was founded by Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist who wanted to rid the world of people with disabilities as well as Blacks and Hispanics.

    • No. Planned Parenthood has quite the sordid past in racism and eugenics (if they’ve put it in the past) At no time was this organization honorable.

    • This agency was *never* about good intentions and valuable services. It was started by Margaret Sanger, who was a fanatical eugenicist and considered minorities “inferior races” and “human weeds.” Racism, eugenics, contraception, abortion and sterilization were at the heart of the clinics she founded, which eventually became Planned Parenthood.

      Her “Negro Advisory Council” worked all over the South, targeting the “reckless and irresponsible swarming and spawning . . . diseased elements of humanity.” She advanced the “Negro Project,” lectured the Ku Klux Klan, and pushed eugenics to breed for “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”

      Here are a few more choice quotes:

      “Again, however, we must stress the fact that in a national program for human conservation INSTITUTIONAL AND VOLUNTARY STERILIZATION ARE NOT ENOUGH (caps added); they do not reach those elements at large in the population whose children are a menace to the national health and well-being. (“Human Conservation and Birth Control,” typed speech. March 3, 1938.)

      “The third group are those irresponsible and reckless ones having little regard for the consequences of their acts, or whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers. Many of this group are diseased, feeble-minded, and are of the pauper element dependent upon the normal and fit members of society for their support. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN THE MINDS OF ALL THINKING PEOPLE THAT THE PROCREATION OF THIS GROUP SHOULD BE STOPPED (caps added).”

      — Woman and the New Race, Chapter 5, “The Wickedness of Creating Large Families.” (1920)

      “Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives… If we are to make racial progress, this development of womanhood must precede motherhood in every individual woman.” — “Woman and the New Race,” 1920

      May God have mercy on her soul, and on us all.

    • Jim, it’s hard to believe that Margret Sanger and her embracing of eugenics could have ever have been confused with good intentions or led to a happy ending.

      There is an agenda Jim, it concerns the devaluation of life and its never pretty!
      We’re not talking about the March of Dimes here!

    • Jim, sadly you imagine wrong. A clear reading of the history of this organization reveals its surreptitious purpose is genocide accomplished through infanticide on a biblical scale. No organization in human history has been so malevolent, not even the Jewish Holocaust or communist extermination campaigns. At least in those examples the victims had a chance to fight back or flee.

  3. So what the Churches and families should be encouraging, or pushing, are the family purity balls, rings, or purity charm bracelets both for sons and daughters. Two good books to read is Raising a Modern day Knight and Raising a Modern day Princess. Anything this wrong crowd is pushing, those who know better should be pushing its opposite. While their aim is pulling families apart, the opposite’s aim should be events that bring family closer together. Parents today of children born 2014-2012 should be telling their daughters and sons how much they matter to them and how much they should matter to others as they grow into their preteen and young young adult years. I am saving money for a purity charm bracelet with real gemstones for my daughter when she is 11 after a story of a father and mother gave their daughter a charm bracelet. Their daughter kept all the charms until her wedding day, and she was so glad she did cause then on the wedding day she given the charm bracelet intact to her husband. Her parents were also praying for her future partner too. You can hear many encouraging stories how to live your life better I heard on anchorage KATB 89.3fm radio hour especially between 1:00-5:00 m-f.

  4. Convincing young girls that it’s a great idea to give themselves away to any persons who want to use their bodies for pleasure sounds a lot more like a patriarchal construct than the physical reality of an intact hymen.

    And even if we disagree about whether or not an intact hymen is a true indicator of virginity, there is a time in every person’s life wherein they have not (yet) experienced sexual intercourse. So, the concept of “virginity” does merit consideration.

    However, if we take “sexual intercourse” to mean whatever anyone wants it to mean, and we believe those marching in the NY pride parade who chanted, “we’re coming for your children,” then maybe nothing really is sacred anymore.

    If PP can kill children in the womb without any legal consequences, prescribe sterilizing hormones to underage kids and promote mutilation of children’s sex organs, why can’t they promote doing whatever any person wants with any child, no matter how heinous or gruesome?

    And won’t this “availability”’of children for use by other persons be that much easier if Biden’s notion that “they’re all our children” becomes a legal reality?

    Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Saint Charles Lawanga, pray for us! Saint Maria Goretti, pray for us!

      • Please stop. Just stop.
        You’re making a fool out of yourself. Bordering on making an ass out of yourself.

        You don’t believe. Fine. Your prerogative.

        Your obsession with trying to own the religious idiots on this board is every bit as pathetic as them thumping the Bible everywhere and claiming God chose Trump to save America.

  5. I just asked my wife if the first time she had sex she gave up her “social construct”.

    She’s still laughing.

  6. A portion of ‘The Charm Bracelet’ by Sarah kistler

    “…….. “Just open this,” Dad answered, producing a small white box. He gave a mysterious smile.
    I hesitated a moment before removing the curly pink ribbon. I slowly opened the lid and saw a beautiful silver bracelet. But not just any bracelet. It was a charm bracelet. And they weren’t just any charms. They were gemstones, small but gorgeous. A dozen dainty charms dangled gently.
    “Wow.” I didn’t know what else to say. I wasn’t expecting this at all.
    “Now you have to understand this isn’t just any bracelet,” Mom informed me.
    “I know,” I said. “It’s so beautiful!” I studied it closer. There were six small charms alternating with tinier ones. The smaller ones were deep blue. Sapphires, I guessed. And the other six were each different. One appeared to be just a rock, one was pink, a white one, a red one, green… and was that a diamond?
    “This charm bracelet is symbolic,” Dad explained, leaning in closer to study it with me. “It represents you and your purity. This is what will guide you through your dating relationships. Your mother and I can only tell you what’s right. We can’t make you believe it yourself. Hopefully, this will.”
    I looked up solemnly. “I’m listening.”
    “This represents the first time you hold a guy’s hand,” Mom said, pointing to the gray one. “It’s just a piece of polished granite. Seemingly cheap, yes, but it’s still a part of your bracelet. This is pink quartz.” She gently rubbed the next one between her fingers. “It represents your first kiss.”
    “This green one is an emerald,” Dad continued. “This is your first boyfriend. The pearl is the first time you say ‘I love you’ to a man other than me.”
    I giggled. This was so amazing.
    “The ruby stands for your first engagement. And the diamond represents the first time you say ‘I do,'” Mom finished.
    After letting it all sink in, I cleared my emotion-clogged throat. “What do the six tiny sapphires stand for?” I asked.
    “Those are to remind you how beautiful and valuable you are to us and to God,” Dad replied. “Now here’s the hitch in all this, the only and only rule you’ll ever have to follow when it comes to dating.”
    Only one rule. Sounded good. But little did I know…
    “Whenever you give one of these actions of love- a kiss, an ‘I love you’, a hand to hold- you also have to give the recipient the gem to match.”
    I must’ve misunderstood. “I have to give him the gem?”
    “You have to give it to him,” Mom restated.
    I was silent for a moment. I thought they must be joking. But they weren’t even thinking of cracking a smile.
    “But Daddy!” I suddenly shrieked. “These are insanely expensive! I can’t just give them away!”
    He gave a soft, loving chuckle, “Did you hear what you just said?”
    I thought about it.
    “Baby, your purity, your heart, they’re far more valuable than a few little rocks. If you can’t find it in your heart to give away your little charms, I don’t think you should be giving away the things they represent.”
    I could feel my insides melting, ready to gush out of my tear ducts. One the one hands, it made me feel valuable and precious. But on the other, it made me furious. It made no sense. But it would.
    A few weeks after that night, I was hanging out with my friends at the beach. Chad wouldn’t swim because I wouldn’t swim. I was more interested in reading than getting caked with sand, and he was more interested in sitting with me than swimming with his buddies. He was sweet. He was cute. And he tried to hold my hand.
    I was thrilled for a nanosecond when a certain piece of ugly granite flashed through my mind and made me move out of his reach. I was severely annoyed- annoyed at my parents, annoyed at my bracelet-turned-handcuffs, but most of all, annoyed at myself. I was letting a little rock dominate my romantic life.
    I furiously glared at it during the whole embarrassing walk to the bathhouse. But then God hit me upside the head with shocking epiphany. I couldn’t give up my little chunk of granite. It was part of my bracelet, which in a sense made it a part of me. I wouldn’t be whole without it. It wasn’t a priceless gem, yet it was still valuable. It made sense after that.
    Kevin came along eventually. We had fun. we hung out a lot. I thought I might love him. I thought I might tell him so. I thought of my pearl. It turned out that I didn’t love him as much as I thought I did.
    So my parents had been right. They couldn’t make me believe the thins they wanted me to believe. So they let God and my bracelet do the work instead. Among the four of them, I figured out how valuable I was. How valuable my purity was. How not valuable guys were who just wanted my time and emotions. If they weren’t in it for the whole bracelet, why should they get one part of it?
    Nate. He thought my bracelet was awesome. So he never tried to hold my hand. He never tried to kiss me. But he asked me to marry him.
    I never knew that so many years of torture could amount to so much happiness. I’d thought it was silly. I’d thought it was overrated. But now, I’ve never been more glad of anything in my life. As I gave my husband the charm bracelet in its entirety, I wondered why I had found it so hard to hang on to those little rocks when it was amazing to give them all to the man I truly loved.“

    But I believe parents today ought to be starting out earlier talking about purity with their son and daughter than 16. The author she was clearly in another time. I think and see kids today the conversation would be about 10 or 11 because of the increased pressure pressing on todays youth as well as they are the computer automation generation. Also too the daughter or son would also have developed a good relationship with their involved parents or parent to know how to date and make friends.

  7. Planned parenthood is a deranged demonically driven organization that needs to be defunded. By their logic, clouds are made of spun sugar, children grow in cabbage patches, Friday the 13th is a dangerous day, and evil spirits are in Brussels sprouts. No logic, rational, or common sense. Money driven, deluded, and arrogant in their illogic.

  8. Anyone’s virginity or not is a private matter. It is inappropriate to discuss it in public with anyone including one’s mother for heaven’s sake and to force this information on disinterested others is the height of uncouthness. Boundaries. Keep it to yourself. That’s my two cents.

  9. What’s a hymen then?

    I cannot for the life of me imagine how the delusional, self congratulatory, sociopaths think this shite up. BTW- those sad pluckers need to get a job and get exposed to real people- not video game people.

    They need to get a ( non- government) job and start thinking like adults.
    Adults- for those that don’t know are responsible , critical thinking humans. Adults know the difference between men and women,right and wrong, good and evil.

  10. Just makes me wonder how many people know Margaret Sanger’s position on abortion and what her heritage was. Liberals love to praise her but never mention how many slaves her ancestors owned in America.

  11. So is murder, rape and so on. Social norms are what separates us from animals. Planned parenthood is a large money laundering operation for certain politicians. Tax payer money goes in Campaign contributions come out

  12. This just in! According to a news story from the U.K. , a Cervical cancer charity, “Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust” has suggested calling a Vagina a “Bonus Hole”. Ostensibly because Trannies who are in fact Women and seem to lack that sort of thing will doubtlessly be less offended by this new nomenclature.

    Let’s stop getting our panties in a bunch over some silly Social Construct here and just do all we can to continue diminishing women so as not to make Trans people uncomfortable…

    • Robert, I’ve been reading 1Kings and 2Kings. It seems the leader of the nation of Israel became infatuated with power and immorality. The nation followed their leader on the immoral path. They turned their backs on God… who then withdrew His protective hand. Consequently, the nation was overcome by external forces (foreigners). The nature of your comment testifies that our blessed nation may be re-living the biblical story. See 2Kings7:14.

      • We could always repent and return to God. Even though Jonah fought having any part of it, in the end it was God’s will and it worked for Nineveh…

  13. Lord have mercy, human kind is doomed. There is no reasoning with liberals somehow the school system removed that skill from peoples brains.
