Op Ed at Catholic Online calls Planned Parenthood "chief peddler" of deadly sex.

Opinion: When sex becomes a false god

Sex is a new false god. Our society worships at the altar of sex, and by extension, the altar of abortion. Every part of our daily lives seems to glorify and revolve around sex. There is no escaping the pervasive presence of indulgent sex. It has infiltrated every corner of our culture and radically changed the way we view ourselves and the way we treat each other.


And whose fault is it, according to that website?

In fact, our society is structured so that our children are virtually guaranteed to offer themselves on the altar of sex and abortion. Massive, obscene amounts of money are spent making sure our kids are bombarded with sexual imagery, sexual music, sexual movies, sexual books, sexual everything until they are convinced of their sacrosanct “right” to gratify themselves in every way possible without restriction or consequence.

Thus a new generation of worshipers is molded and the peddlers of deadly sex have enough loyal customers to keep them in business. The chief peddler of our time is Planned Parenthood. PP has a vested interest in making sure our teenagers are as sexually active as possible. They want our kids to “need” contraception and “need” treatment for STD’s, and ultimately, to “need” abortion. If young people were to stop having promiscuous sex, PP would soon go out of business, and they won't let that happen. They must sell their “reproductive health services” to the next generation if they are to stay profitable.

Planned Parenthood says their mission is to provide help, information, medical care, and to protect women. Bull. Their ignoble “business” is the corruption of our kids. Their solvency is secured through the killing of children in the womb. They profit off the diseases and heartache our children suffer because they have done exactly what PP wanted them to do in the first place: have lots of sex.


A chaste couple waiting to have sex until marriage has no need for PP's services. Single women who use the common sense God gave them and refrain from sex don't need PP for anything. Teenagers who are encouraged to cherish their virginity, to treat each other with respect and care for their own bodies ..


There is such anger in that opinion column. Planned Parenthood, a group which provides so many health services of all types for women....does not deserve that wrath.

Every day now I find myself wondering how all this anger and hatred became a part of the religious community.
