QUOTES FROM 1921
[RAC*]       "... upon the quality of human life all else depends ... none of the colored races shows perceptible signs of declining birth-rate, all tending to breed up to the limits of available subsistence ... It can mean only one thing: a tremendous and steadily augmenting outward thrust of surplus colored men from overcrowded colored homelands ... But many of these relatively empty [Northern] lands have been definitely set aside by the White man as his own special heritage...
       "His ["colored" man's] outstanding quality is superabundant animal vitality. In this he easily surpasses all other races. To it he owes his intense emotionalism. To it, again, is due his extreme fecundity, the negro being the quickest of breeders. This abounding vitality shows in many other ways, such as the negro's ability to survive harsh conditions of slavery under which other races have soon succumbed ... black blood, once entering a human stock, seems never really bred out again ...
       "White men cannot, under peril of their vary race-existence, allow wholesale Asian immigration into White race-areas ... The grim truth of the matter is this: The whole White race is exposed, immediately or ultimately, to the possibility of social sterilization and final replacement or absorption by the teeming colored races.
       "And, of course, the more primitive a type is, the more prepotent it is. This is why crossings with the negro are uniformly fatal. Whites, Amerindians, or Asiatics — all are alike vanquished by the invincible prepotency of the more primitive, generalized, and lower negro blood.
       "... whether we consider interwhite migrations or colored encroachments on White lands, the net result is an expansion of lower and a contraction of higher stocks, the process being thus a disgenic one.
       "For race-betterment is such an intensely practical matter! When peoples come to realize that the quality of the population is the source of all their prosperity, progress, security, and even existence; we shall see much-abused "eugenics" actually moulding social programmes and political policies ... we or the next generation will take in hand the problem of race-depreciation, and segregation of defectives and abolition of handicaps penalizing the better stocks will put an end to our present racial decline."

—: Lothrop Stoddard, Ph.D. The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy [New York City: Charles Scribner's Sons], 1921. Reprinted in 1971 by Negro Universities Press, Westport, Connecticut, pages i, 8, 9, 90, 231, 298, 301, 302, 308, and 309 in the reprinted version [NOTE: Stoddard sat on the board of the American Birth Control League (later Planned Parenthood) in the 1930s, when Margaret Sanger headed it. Havelock Ellis, one of Sanger's lovers, enthusiastically endorsed Stoddard's book The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy in Sanger's magazine The Birth Control Review (Havelock Ellis. "The World's Racial Problems." Birth Control Review, October 1920, page 16). In this book (introduced by fellow racist/eugenicist Madison Grant), Stoddard demonstrates beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt the intimate connections between abortion, eugenics and goal-oriented racism.

QUOTES FROM 1926
[RAC*] "I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey. ... A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered."

—: Comment by Margaret Sanger on her speech to the Women's Branch of the Silver Lake, New Jersey Ku Klux Klan in 1926. Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography [New York City: W.W. Norton & Company], 1938, and Dover Publications, 1971, pages 366 and 367 [NOTE: Jim Spencer, a pro-abortionist who is a friend of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, said in a September 21, 2007 RH Reality Check "Whatever Sanger said about the need to control African-American births during the 1930s, the test 70 years later are actions. ... Among the lies anti-abortion activists like to tell is that Planned Parenthood targets minority women for abortions. That has already happened in Denver, where the location of the new clinic in a predominantly black neighborhood led to suggestions of racism." Spencer, of course, is ignoring the provable fact that most Planned Parenthood abortion and birth control clinics are located in minority neighborhoods].

QUOTES FROM 1933
"We of today know that man is born of sexual union; that he starts life as an embryo within the body of the female; and that the embryo is formed from the fusion of two single cells, the ovum and the sperm. This all seems so simple and evident to us that it is difficult to picture a time when it was not part of the common knowledge."

—: Alan F. Guttmacher. Life in the Making: The Story of Human Procreation [New York City: Viking Press], 1933, page 3.

QUOTES FROM 1952
"The mechanical and chemical methods currently employed, or any biologic method that would prevent ovulation or fertilization merely prevent life from beginning ... Measures designed to prevent implantation fall into a different category. Here there is a question of destroying a life already begun."

—: Abraham Stone, M.D. "Research in Contraception: A Review and Preview," presented at the Third International Conference of Planned Parenthood, Bombay, India, and included in Report of the Proceedings, November 24-29, 1952, Family Planning Associates of India, page 101. Also quoted in Robert Marshall and Charles Donovan. Blessed are the Barren [San Francisco: Ignatius Press], 1991, page 291.

[EUG*]       "Any adult having a transmissible or hereditary disease should not have children. Marriage may be contemplated, but only if the person submits willingly to sterilization as a safeguard against propagating offstring carrying such diseases.
       "No more children when parents, though showing no affliction themselves, ahve given birth to offspring with mental and nervous disease — morons, cleft palate, Mongolian idiots. Somewhere in the heredity there is the cause of these conditions.
       "Parenthood should be considered a privilege, not a right. Prostpective parents should be examimed physically and mentally as to their responsibility and knowledge of the care of infants. There should be compulsory education by the state for parents.
       "Parents should be assisted, guided and directed in every way to eliminate the undesirable offspring, who usually contribute nothing to our civilization but use up the energy and resources of the world."

—: From Margaret Sanger's "Seven Basic Principles of Planned Parenthood," given at the Third International Planned Parenthood Conference in Bombay, India in 1952, where the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) was founded.

QUOTES FROM 1953
[ADU*] "Our alternative solution is to be ready as educators and parents to help young people obtain sex satisfaction before marriage. By sanctioning sex before marriage, we will prevent fear and guilt. We must also relieve those who have them of their fears and guilt feelings, and we must be ready to provide young boys and girls with the best contraception measures available so they will have the necessary means to achieve sexual satisfaction without having to risk possible pregnancy. We owe this to them."

—: Dr. Lena Levine. "Psychosexual Development." Planned Parenthood News, Summer 1953, page 10.

QUOTES FROM 1955
[ABO] "But is it not true that fundamentally most therapeutic abortions are actually being granted because of socioeconomic and humanitarian reasons that are masked as psychiatric or other medical reasons? I think this is an important point."

—: Mary Steichen Calderone, M.D., former Medical Director, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), and founder of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), at the 1955 conference on induced abortion held by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Quoted in Mary Calderone, M.D. (editor). Abortion in the United States [New York City: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc.], 1956.

"It was recognized by conference participants that no scientific evidence has been developed to support the claim that the increased availability of contraceptive services will clearly result in a decreased illegal abortion rate."

—: Concluding statement signed by the leading sex researchers of the day at the April 1955 Conference on Induced Abortion, sponsored by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Cosigners included Alan Guttmacher, M.D.; Alfred E. Kinsey, M.D.; Christopher Tietze, M.D.; John Rock, M.D.; and Abraham Stone, M.D.

"There is an interesting report from Sweden in which three hundred forty-four women were refused legal abortion and sixty-two of these women indicated they would commit suicide. Actually, however, none of them did. I think this is something that anyone in psychiatric practice would recognize. The threat of suicide is used many times to intimidate and to obtain an end in relation to the psychiatrist as well as to families."

—: Ernest Kolb, M.D., at the 1955 conference on induced abortion held by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Quoted in Mary Calderone, M.D. (editor). Abortion in the United States [New York City: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc.], 1956.

"At the risk of being repetitious, I would remind the group that we have found the highest frequency of induced abortions in the group which, in general, most frequently uses contraception."

—: 'Sexologist' Alfred E. Kinsey, at the April 1955 Conference on Induced Abortion, sponsored by Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).

[ABO] "Dr. Helpern, about the frequency of suicide in pregnancy to which you have referred, I think it has been shown that the rate of suicide among pregnant women is considerably lower than among nonpregnant women of childbearing age. This is perhaps not a complete answer, but, at any rate, it appears that suicide as a result of pregnancy must be vary rare indeed. I say this in the fact that for the last three years the threat of suicide has been at our hospital the principle psychiatric indication accepted."

—: Howard C. Taylor, Jr., M.D., Director, Obstetrical and Gynecological Service, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York City, at the 1955 conference on induced abortion held by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Quoted in Mary Calderone, M.D. (editor). Abortion in the United States [New York City: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc.], 1956, page 139.

[ABO] "Let us be frank about this. When the psychiatrist says that there is a suicidal risk, in many instances he does not mean that at all, but feels that there are strong socioeconomic grounds for a therapeutic abortion. Since the only ground for abortion in many states is if it is felt there is threat of death, suicidal risk is thus established as the only legal way out of the situation. ..."
"There are a great many originally unwanted children in this world who have become very deeply wanted after birth, and I don't think this is simply reaction formation. There are women who do not realize how gratifying it can be to mother a baby until they actually have it in their arms, and maternal feelings are aroused by the tangible situation."

—: Joseph Lidz, M.D., quoted by Mary Calderone, M.D., Medical Director of Planned Parenthood/World Population (PP/WP) (editor). Abortion in the United States (proceedings of Planned Parenthood's 1955 conference on induced abortion) [New York City: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc.], 1956, page 127.

QUOTES FROM 1959
        "Most abortionists owe half their practices to patients referred by legitimate doctors — patients in whom the legitimate doctor can find no medial reason for abortion. ..."
       "Twenty-five years ago [1934] the famous triad — heart, lungs and kidneys — were the three black horsemen. They accounted for an overwhelming portion of legal abortions. But with our present miraculous improvements in the treatment of heart disease, lung tuberculosis and kidney ailments, this infamous trio has lost much of its terror, and today relatively few pregnancies have to be terminated on their account. However, as I have indicated earlier in this chapter, three new entities have usurped prominence: Psychiatric difficulties, eugenic considerations and malignancy, or cancer.
       "I never envied Dr. B. Despite his large income and his fine country estate, he led essentially an unhappy medical life. He was embittered by the social ostracism visited upon him. In attempts to overcome this, he rationalized his behavior, as I believe most professional medical abortionists do, otherwise they cannot live with themselves. Dr. B. believed he was a social benefactor, a knight in armor who came to the rescue of ladies in distress when they were deserted by his orthodox medical colleagues."
[ABO*]       "Most illegal medical abortionists will not handle a case when the pregnancy is beyond the twelfth week, but there are no doubt some exceptions. The technique of the well-accredited criminal abortionist is usually good. They have to be good to stay in business, since otherwise they would be extremely vulnerable to police action."
       "However, more than two decades ago, Baltimore's Dr. B. made the statement at a public meeting, in which the danger of abortion was being overemphasized by some well-meaning do-gooder, that in 12,000 illegal abortions with which he had been personally associated there had been only 4 deaths. It is to be remembered that this remarkable record predated antibiotics."

QUOTES FROM 1960

—: Alan F. Guttmacher, M.D., former Medical Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Birth Control and Love: The Complete Guide to Contraception and Fertility [New York City: Macmillan], 1961, page 12.

QUOTES FROM 1963
[ABO] "An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health. it may make you sterile, so that when you want a child you cannot have it ... Birth control merely postpones the beginning of life."

—: Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) pamphlet entitled "Plan Your Children," 1963.

QUOTES FROM 1964
[ABO][FAM] "Opponents of oral contraceptives always talk in terms of the treatment of 'healthy women.' Those of us who have to treat women who are pregnant with an unwanted baby do not feel that she can be considered to be healthy."

—: Elizabeth B. Connell, M.D., Planned Parenthood Medical Advisory Council, New York City, 1964. Quoted during Senator Gaylord Nelson's (D-Wi.) Hearings on Competitive Problems in the Drug Industry, by the Senate Subcommittee on Monopoly — Select Committee on Small Business, Part 16, page 6,523, February 25, 1970.

QUOTES FROM 1965
[ILL] "So long as the voluntary organization does not make its activities too obvious, no action is taken against it. This is, of course, tacit admission that the law is out-of-date and no longer enforceable. ... In such cases the voluntary organization may avoid using the words 'family planning' in its title and instead choose a more general term like 'happy families,' 'family welfare' or 'family education;' its centres will very likely be called 'consultation offices,' not 'clinics,' and patients will be referred to one of a group of doctors working with the organization."

—: Vera Houghton, first General Secretary of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). "Responsibilities of Voluntary Organizations." Eugenics Review, March 1965 [Volume 57, Number 1], page 17.

QUOTES FROM 1967
[ABO*] "Who performs illegal abortions? Here popular literature goes far astray with its lurid pictures of back-street quacks — filthy, ill-trained and incompetent. There are quacks, to be sure, but they are in the minority. Most abortions are performed by licensed physicians, usually at some personal risk. Dr. Guttmacher estimates that 80 percent of the abortions in the U.S. are performed by M.D.'s; Dr. Calderone says 90 percent. In one noted instance of record, a single physician in the Baltimore region, Dr. G. Lotrell Timanus, performed over 5,000 abortions before he was stopped by the law. Is it fair of us to ask physicians to perform operations that we are unwilling either to forego or to legalize?"

—: Alan Guttmacher, M.D., former Medical Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). The Case for Legalized Abortion Now [Berkeley: Diablo Press], 1967, page 92.

"In early 1966, the present writer attended a conference at which the Population Crisis Committee was trying to persuade certain groups within the National Institute of Health to give greater priority to family planning in their mental health programs. The writer and others found it somewhat embarrassing to have to confess that there was little clear evidence that unwanted conceptions were in a worse light than other conceptions."

[INF] "Infanticide has a logical continuity with abortion, and even with contraception."

QUOTES FROM 1968
[FAM] "We have yet to beat our public health drums for birth control in the way we beat them for polio vaccine; we are still unable to put babies in the class of dangerous epidemics, even though that is the exact truth."

—: Mary S. Calderone, M.D., former Medical Director, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and founder of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS). Medical Morals newsletter, February-March 1968.

"When an abortion is easily obtainable, contraception is neither actively nor diligently used. If we had abortion on demand, there would be no reward for the woman who practiced effective contraception. Abortion on demand relieves the husband of all possible responsibility; he simply becomes a coital animal."

—: Dr. Alan Guttmacher in a discussion at the Law, Morality and Abortion Symposium, held at Rutgers University Law School, March 27, 1968. Rutgers Law Review, 1968(22):415-443.

QUOTES FROM 1969
[ABO][COE] "Each country will have to decide its own form of coercion and determine when and how it should be employed. At present, the means available are compulsory sterilization and compulsory abortion. Perhaps someday a way of enforcing compulsory birth control will be feasible."

—: Alan F. Guttmacher, M.D., former Medical Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). Medical World News, June 6, 1969.

[ABO][COE] "[We recommend] (1) mandatory abortion for any unmarried girl found to be within the first three months of pregnancy, and (2) mandatory sterilization of any such girl giving birth out of wedlock for a second time."

—: 1969 White House Conference on Hunger (WHCH) panel on "Pregnant and Nursing Women and Infants," headed by Planned Parenthood's Dr. Alan Guttmacher and Dr. Charles U. Lowe of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's National Institutes of Health (NIH).

QUOTES FROM 1970
[FAM][SEX] "I am all for educating the American medical professional. I have rather dim enthusiasm for attempting to educate the recipients of therapy. I think the dispenser of the therapy is the person who must be educated and not the recipient ... Now, I do not think that you are going to be able to educate the American woman as to what she should or should not do with regard to the pill. I think you can educate the American doctor. He is educatable ... My feeling is that when you attempt to instruct American womanhood in this, which is a pure medical matter which I am afraid she has not the background to understand, you are creating in her simply a panic reaction without much intellectual background.
"The pill, in my opinion and that of my colleagues, is an important prophylaxis, perhaps the most important, against one of the gravest sociomedical illnesses extant. That, of course, is unwanted pregnancy."

He or she was classed as a criminal, but without their help, history would have taken a different course. ...
       "Using the name "menstrual regulation" alters the name of the game. It is not practical to write about abortion in a Bangladesh newspaper, but it has proved acceptable to hold a much-publicized conference on menstrual regulation in Dacca ... there will be no proof of pregnancy unless the tissue removed from the uterus is subjected to microscopic examination. The point is of crucial importance in countries where abortion is illegal. ...

[ADU][FAM] "Do you want a convenient warm body? Buy one. That's right. There are women who have freely chosen that business; buy one. Do you want a virgin to marry? Buy one. There are girls in that business, too. Marriage is the price you'll pay, and you'll get the virgin. Very temporarily.
"There are certain things that you do not want to talk about to your parents. There are certain things they don't want to talk about to you. The only thing you owe anyone is courtesy. You don't owe anyone 'love.' If you think your parents are great, that's wonderful. If you don't get along, that's too bad but it's no lifetime tragedy. How you feel about them isn't nearly as important as how you feel about yourself.

"As has been pointed out, those who use contraceptives are more likely than those who do not to resort to induced abortion ... There is evidence that abortion rates, as well as the use of contraceptives, are increasing in many developing countries ... the epidemiological evidence that has been surveyed in this and preceding chapters points to the fact that induced abortion services are most needed by those adopting any form of fertility regulation ... No developed country has brought down its birth rate without a considerable recourse to abortion and it appears unlikely that developing countries can ever hope to see any decline in their fertility without a massive resort to induced abortion — legal or illegal."

Mary Weaver knew that she was at least 28 weeks pregnant, well into the third trimester. Her baby was healthy, she was not a victim of rape or incest or health problems, but she still wanted an abortion so she would not embarrass her father, who was principal of the high school that she had attended. After doing the saline infusion, Waddill left the scene. Later, he phoned the hospital and talked to a nurse who informed him that a viable baby had resulted from his abortion. Waddill instructed her "Don't do a Goddamn thing for that baby." He then returned to the hospital's newborn nursery, where the baby had been relocated, and ordered the area cleared of all medical personnel. He then choked Baby Girl Weaver four separate times, by pushing down on her windpipe with his thumb. Dr. Ronald Cornelson, the attending pediatrician, witnessed the entire sequence of events and subsequently brought charges against Waddill].

There is no person more self-righteous than one who believes that he or she conquered homosexuality, when all that actually happened was that he or she stopped playing sex-play with other children of the same sex. ... About 10% of all people are homosexual. They do not seduce people, hurt people pervert people any more than heterosexual people do — rather less, in fact. Homosexuality is not curable, anymore than heterosexuality is. Homosexuality is minority, and homosexuals are a favorite target for extremists, particularly those who practice religious persecution. Even though the proudest heritage of the United States is based on tolerance and religious freedom, there are some sick groups who believe that God wishes them to persecute others — others with different racial characteristics, others with different sexual preferences, others with different religious viewpoints — just others. Those who persecute others because of sexual differences were often persecuted for their own sexuality as children by their parents. We know that children who are abused often grow up to abuse their own children. So children who are abused for their sexual behavior are often those who grow up to abuse others for their sexual behavior."

"The fact is that no nation on Earth has controlled its fertility without abortion. The United States has 1.5 million abortions a year. Why should we expect Indonesia, say, to do better? No matter how good the [contraceptive] method is, you can't get adequate fertility control with contraception alone. You have got to grapple with sterilization and abortion."

QUOTES FROM 1984
[COE] "The most remarkable of all family planning policies has been that pursued in China where birth rates have halved in the past 20 years. The need to stabilize population growth is now seen as so urgent that family planning has become a matter of detailed social planning, along with other measures aimed at meeting basic needs and conserving resources. Chinese parents are told that if action had been taken sooner it would have been acceptable for them to have had two children — the need for the one-child limit is, it is stressed, the price of delay. However one views such a policy, it is a challenge to other countries, showing the importance of taking the population factor into account at an early stage in planning for sustainable development."

QUOTES FROM 1985
[ABO*][ADO][BIG][STU]       "By denying abortion to a victim of rape, they [pro-lifers] in a sense become participants in the rape."
       "Do women get pregnant through rape? Yes, they do. If we define rape as intercourse by any man forced on an unwilling woman, then the pregnancies number in the thousands ... The poor victim of rape might receive an abortion for $200 and medical care for a few hundred. If she gets neither, that's the value of her life."
       "All reputable [abortion] clinics do their best to obtain a truly informed consent, and to refer patients needing further counseling to an appropriate community agency. Most clinics refuse service to those they believe are not informed and have not made a decision or who will feel exploited at some later date."
       "More interesting even than the bombings [of abortion clinics] are the people who assemble outside abortion clinics, often with religious symbols in their hands, and harass or scream abuse at patients. They are totalitarians who do not believe in a pluralist society or democracy. The psychology of such groups is similar to that of racial supremacy groups."
       "Is the fetus alive? Is it alive? Algae is alive, and earthworms, and your appendix. Mold on the bread in the refrigerator is alive. People are not agreed on what a life is ... If you look at pictures of human, chicken, pig, and turtle embryos at the same stage of development, it is difficult to tell them apart. ... What is a life? People are not agreed on what a life is. Some believe that a birth of human tissue which is in generally human form but which has no brain (an anencephalic birth) or with only a tiny amount of brain tissue (a microcephalic birth) is not a "life," even though the tissue is human. Such births can be kept "alive" on machines for a long time. But then, individual organs such as hearts can also be kept "alive" on machines for a long time ... A profoundly retarded and totally unaware birth can live for twenty years or more, if provided with round-the-clock care."
       "Almost no one approves of abortion as a method of birth control, including the people who provide abortion services."
       "All reputable [abortion] clinics do their best to obtain a truly informed consent, and to refer patients needing further counseling to an appropriate community agency. Most clinics refuse service to those they believe are not informed and have not made a decision or who will feel exploited at some later date."
       "But aren't there alternatives to abortion? Yes, there are. A pregnant women can carry the baby to term and she can then keep it or relinquish the baby for adoption. Relinquishment is often not a very humane procedure."
       "There is a persistent lie told by certain anti-abortion groups that a substance called "collagen" is made from fetuses sold by abortion clinics to cosmetic companies."
       "If confronted by right-to-lifers, demand to know what they are doing for life. How many hours weekly do they volunteer at the nearest home for the retarded? How many disabled foster children do they have in their homes? Are they also against capital punishment; against nuclear war; for gun control; for controlling sale of cigarettes? How much a week do they give personally to support poor mothers and children? How many homeless children have they adopted? It's easy to identify a sincerely pro-life person. The sincerely pro-life person is not shouting abuse outside a clinic. He or she is too busy trying to help someone."

Since, according to Planned Parenthood, mold is alive and the preborn are only "potential life," mold therefore has a higher status than a nine-month preborn baby in the eyes of Planned Parenthood].

Mother Teresa is the perfect image of a sexless, religious woman. This is, however, not the image of womanhood that we want. Show us instead the mother or daughter who can take delight in the most enjoyable of all worldly pleasures, sexual intimacy. You, you nightmare of women!

       "Girls and boys need especially to be reassured that sexual play with a friend of one's own gender is fairly common and that it is not an indication of future, adult homosexuality.
       "Most sex educators would tell kids that oral sex is a form of sexual expression which many people find pleasurable and many others find unthinkable. Sexual behavior that is mutually agreed upon and harmful to neither partner is not considered a perversion.
       "Masturbation is a natural and harmless expression of sexuality ... Even many church groups have modified their stand, seeing it more as a healthy, normal release of sexual tension than as the sinful, unnatural act it was once considered to be.
       "Our advice, the first time you see a small child fondling himself, is to take this teachable moment and try to get across the message that masturbating is something practically everyone does because it feels good, that there's nothing wrong with it, that it's okay with you (if it is), but that it is something to be done in private.
       "There are many sperm cells in the [seminal] fluid. If one of them meets an egg cell inside the mother, new life can begin to grow ... If one of your friends is pregnant, ask her to let your child 'feel the baby move.' ... A baby grows in a special place inside the mother, called the uterus — not in her stomach. In nine months it is born."
       "Adolescent boys and girls would both welcome reassurance from their parents — people whose values they trust — that solitary sexual activity is okay. They would be even more relieved to hear that it actually has undeniable benefits.
       "Many boys, at some point in their development, make it a group event with one or more [other] boys."
       "Discussing contraception — which is vitally important, we stress again — does not mean and is seldom interpreted by teenagers to mean that you have given permission for them to have intercourse."
       "[You must say] "We hope very much that you won't get sexually involved until you're mature enough to handle it, but if you ever decide to, please use one of the kinds of birth control we told you about." Once this has been said, teenagers know they need not be afraid that buying or using contraceptives is going to bring on parental wrath."

[NOTE:  The following long section consists of excerpts from the Curriculum Guide and Resource Manual for Family Life Education ["A Collaborative Effort of the World Scout Bureau, Africa Regional Office, and the Margaret Sanger Center of Planned Parenthood of New York City with the Support of the Pathfinder Fund"]. Nairobi, Kenya: Africa Region of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), 1988.
       The entire purpose of this manual is to break down the inhibitions of Scouts and their leaders by speaking of sex and sexuality in more and more graphic, explicit, and ultimately vulgar terms. This is a classic example of the anti-life tactic called "infiltration and subversion." The Planned Parenthood people insinuate themselves into a group like the Boy Scouts, an organization which is strenuously trying to uphold basic morality in youth. Then PP goes to work, and desensitizes and corrupts the boys by mixing pro-abortion, pro-contraception and anti-family propaganda with valid and useful health information. Near the end of this manual, Planned Parenthood and the Pathfinder Fund are considerate enough to provide an extensive list of gross "sexual slang" at the end of the book (including nearly one hundred slang words for sexual intercourse), thus enabling any boy scout who has not already been corrupted to have just as filthy a vocabulary as everyone else. The list of slang is truly sickening, even for the hardened observer, and it makes one wonder what kind of a twisted character took the time to compile it.
       The Acknowledgements of the Manual conclude by saying "Special thanks also go to Dr. Ayo Ajai, Regional Director of the Pathfinder Fund, which supported the project; to Errol Alexis of the Margaret Sanger Center Team in Nairobi; to Nanette Ecker, the co-author of the original manual adapted by the workshop; and to Marcia Lawrence, Director of Communications, Planned Parenthood of New York City, who designed and edited the manual for publication." The resources used to write this manual were provided by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (pages 131-134 and 183), Planned Parenthood of Santa Cruz (page 141), Planned Parenthood of New York City (pages 185 and 212), Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara County (page 191-192 and 204), Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (page 224), Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), Planned Parenthood of Buffalo, Planned Parenthood of Snohomish County (page 244), the National Education Association (NEA) (page 157), and the Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) (page 241).
       This manual is a good example of the principle that Planned Parenthood and other anti-life organizations have absolutely no respect whatsoever for the faiths of other people (Nigeria is 25% Catholic). Even if the boy scouts involved are Catholic, PP will go ahead and teach them this garbage anyway. Keep in mind that PP would scream bloody murder if the situation were reversed, and a Catholic priest tried to convert individual boy scouts secretly, and without their parent's knowledge or consent].

UNIT III: OUR BODIES, OUR LIVES

Subtopic: Abortion

Purpose: To help young people understand the difference between spontaneous and induced abortion, and between legal and illegal abortion.

Content: Health risks of illegal abortion.

Suggested Teaching/Learning Activities

Discuss with scouts the importance of developing personal moral guidelines to help them decide when having sexual intercourse is appropriate for them.
•
Discuss the health risks associated with illegal abortion, which is usually performed by a backstreet abortionist who does not use sterile instruments. For example, nonsterile instruments can cause infection — even septicaemia, leading to death. Or hemorrhage — severe bleeding — can occur. Or internal reproductive organs may be injured, causing sterility [NOTE: Nowhere does the manual discuss the physical or psychological dangers of legal abortion. Notice also that the manual many times emphasizes dispelling sexual 'myths,' but strives to perpetuate its own myth concerning the old, tired pro-abortion slogan about back-alley abortionists].
•
Discuss the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of illegal abortion — for example, the possibility that the aborter may feel guilt about the experience or that she may feel she is considered a social outcast or a bad influence [NOTE: The manual, of course, does not consider that these may also be impacts of legal abortion. This is, after all, a Planned Parenthood publication].

Outcomes

•
Scouts will understand the risks and problems associated with illegal abortion.
•
Scouts will be aware of the circumstances under which abortion can be performed legally and safely [pages 73 to 77].

Outcomes: Scouts will feel more comfortable about raising the subject of STDs with a partner [page 83].

UNIT V: STAYING SAFE, PLAYING SAFE

Suggested Teaching/Learning Activities: Asks scouts to consider how sex-role stereotyping, which locks people into certain roles based on tradition, can push young people into dangerous sexual interactions.

Sex and Sexuality: Defining Terms

•
Sexual behavior includes a wide range of activities, from kissing, touching, hugging, petting, and fondling, on. Some of those listed below are approved in almost all cultures. Some are disapproved in almost all. Some are more or less acceptable, depending on the cultural group or subgroup.

•
Oral sex — cunnilingus or fellatio. Cunnilingus is contact between mouth and vulva, vagina, clitoris, etc. Fellatio is mouth-to-penis contact.
•
Incest — sexual intercoure [sic] between blood-related family members (e.g., father and daughter, sister and brother).
•
Sodomy — anal intercourse.
•
Voyeurism — deriving sexual excitement from observing others undressing, making love, kissing, masturbating, petting, etc. Sometimes voyeurs are called 'Peeping Toms.'
•
Exhibitionism — deriving sexual pleasure from exposing one's genitals.
•
Masturbation — manual manipulation of one's genitals. Mutual masturbation is two people's doing this reciprocally.
•
Autoeroticism — deriving sexual pleasure from masturbation and fantasy, not requiring the participation of another person.
•
Necrophilia — deriving sexual pleasure from intercourse with a dead person.
•
Frotteurosexual — preferring sexual pleasure gained from rubbing one's genitals against another person.
•
Pedophilia — deriving sexual pleasure from children (one form this can take is child molestation).
•
Pederasty — deriving sexual pleasure from young boys.
•
Urophilia — deriving sexual pleasure from urine.
•
Coprophilia — deriving sexual pleasure from feces, dirt, soiled underwear, etc.
•
Zoophilia, bestiality — deriving sexual pleasure from intercourse with animals.
•
Sadism — deriving sexual pleasure from inflicting pain on another person.
•
Masochism — deriving sexual pleasure from being hurt by another person.
•
Transsexual — person of one biological sex (usually a man) who believes himself to be a member of the opposite sex trapped in the wrong body. Sometimes this creates so much psychological dissonance for the person that he will seek an operation to make his body look more like that of the opposite sex.
•
Transvestite — usually a heterosexual, not a homosexual, man who derives sexual pleasure from wearing women's clothes.
•
Drag Queen — a male homosexual who dresses flamboyantly in exaggerated imitation of a woman.

In summary: Sex and sexuality are part of all of us from birth to death. We need to develop healthy attitudes about sexuality so that our children can better understand their growth and development and be properly equipped to make sound decisions about their sexual and reproductive lives [pages 123 and 124].

Sexuality and Sex

... When one develops sexually as a male, for example, but develops psychosexually in such a way as to identify oneself as a woman, we have a transsexual phenomenon — an individual who is biologically a male, but who feels himself to be a woman trapped in a male body. It is such an individual who seeks a sex change operation [page 126].

RESOURCE MATERIALS: UNIT VI

QUOTES FROM 1989
[ABO] "There no longer exists any bright line between the fundamental right that was established in Griswold and the fundamental right of abortion that was established in Roe. These two rights overlap. The most common forms of contraception today — IUDs, low-dose birth control pills, which are the safest type of birth control pills available — act as abortifacients."

—: Frank Susman, lawyer for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). "Excerpts of Arguments Before Supreme Court on Missouri Abortion Law." Washington Post, April 27, 1989, page A16.

"2. "Puttin' On the Condom" (adapted from "Condom Comfort" in Positive Images: A New Approach to Contraceptive Education by Brick and Cooperman). During the course of the evening, each person receives and wears a nametag depicting a different step in condom use. During this activity, participants arrange themselves in a line (or a circle) according to how they think a condom is used (if there are a large number of participants, have several groups perform the activity at the same time, and compare the results)! After the line is formed, have the participants read off their tags in order. Acting out the steps can increase the fun of this activity. The nametags are labeled as follows:

Physical attraction
Leave space at tip
Think about having sex
Roll condom down penis
Talk about having sex
Enough lubrication?
Decide to use a condom
If no, use KY jelly
Pool money
... or, more foreplay
Go to a condom store
Intercourse
Decide what kind to buy
Ejaculation
Take box off rack
Hold on to rim of condom
