CONTRARY TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD MANTRA, CDC REPORTS MOST TEENS ARE VIRGINS
Washington,
DC (09 July 2010) – The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
released a new study last month showing that most teens are virgins -
contrary to propaganda disseminated by sex-education giant Planned
Parenthood.
"This study has huge significance for our nation's
public and even private schools - many of whom have been regurgitating
Planned Parenthood's dangerously inaccurate sex-education curriculum,"
said Judie Brown, president of American Life League.
In the
2006-2008 period, 58 percent of never-married teen girls and 57 percent
of never-married teen boys between the ages of 15 and 19 reported that
they had never had sexual intercourse.
The numbers did not
substantially change since a similar report was released in 2002. The
reason most often cited for abstaining was that it is "against religion
or morals."
Entitled Teenagers in the United States: Sexual
Activity, Contraceptive Use, and Child Bearing, National Survey of
Family Growth (NSFG), the report debunks Planned Parenthood's constant
mantra that most teens will not abstain. This ideology is illustrated by
the words of Planned Parenthood Federation of America vice president of
medical affairs, Vanessa Cullins, from a YouTube video directed toward
teens: "...admit that you are a sexually active individual like most of
us, and that you are going to have sex and that you need to take
precautions in order to stay healthy."
The report builds a solid
case against Planned Parenthood's promotion of sex education devoid of
morality or religious influence – except for secular humanism espoused
by Planned Parenthood.
The report also revealed that "the vast
majority of never married teenagers had not had intercourse in the month
before the survey (76% of females and 79% of males, unchanged from
2002.)"
The number of "sexually experienced" teens peaked in 1988
at 51%. The steady decline in sexually active teens coincides with the
popularity and availability of abstinence education in the 1990s and
into the 2000s.
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
