Endorsed <strong>for</strong> parents and teens by Planned Parenthood <strong>Waco</strong>*<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>.<strong>org</strong>: A <strong>Sex</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Children</strong><br />

Planned Parenthood of Columbia-Willamette (WA) is one of 89<br />

affiliates of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and a<br />

sister affiliate of Planned Parenthood <strong>Waco</strong>.<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> is endorsed by the Planned Parenthood<br />

<strong>Waco</strong> website as a resource <strong>for</strong> parents and teens attending their<br />

summer sex education conference called Nobody’s Fool<br />

(www.plannedparenthood.<strong>org</strong>/ppwaco/images/Central-Texas-<br />

Health-Centers/NF_Online_Resources.pdf).<br />

John Pisciotta, Director of <strong>Pro</strong>-<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Waco</strong><br />

Planned Parenthood affiliates (franchisees) are well known as the<br />

leader in the U.S. abortion industry. A complementary mission of<br />

Planned Parenthood is promotion of promiscuity to children. I<br />

became aware of this fact through <strong>Pro</strong>-<strong>Life</strong> <strong>Waco</strong> challenges to a<br />

<strong>Waco</strong> Planned Parenthood youth conference called Nobody’s<br />

Fool. While my initial concern was our local Planned Parenthood<br />

affiliate, I soon learned about the common ground with Planned<br />

Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and International<br />

Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). I have tried to shine the<br />

light on print publications such as the book It's Perfectly Normal<br />

(endorsed by PPFA and distributed by <strong>Waco</strong> Planned Parenthood)<br />

and Healthy, Happy and HOT (published by IPPF). I've also<br />

pointed to websites such as TeenWire.com (PPFA) and<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>.<strong>org</strong> from the affiliate in Columbia-<br />

Willamette, Washington. My initiatives to shine the light on<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> have not been particularly successful. One<br />

reason is the content is so vile that most decent people simply do<br />

not want to expose themselves to viewing and listening to the<br />

content. I hope that more will be willing to read the transcripts.<br />

We must face the sordid reality of Planned Parenthood if we are<br />

going to mobilize to defend children who are in the crosshairs of<br />

this <strong>org</strong>anization. Reading these transcripts will not be enjoyable.<br />

I assure you that creating this document was not enjoyable.<br />

Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> is the degrading creation of a<br />

local Planned Parenthood affiliate in the state of<br />

Washington. The website attempts to be light-hearted and<br />

is visually attractive. The main theme is that sexually active<br />

(promiscuous) teens should have themselves checked<br />

frequently <strong>for</strong> sexually transmitted infections. The provider<br />

of these SDI check-ups would be a local Planned<br />

Parenthood affiliate. The revenue-seeking slant of this<br />

website can hardly be missed.<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> is a series of vignettes<br />

involving an adult and several teen actors. I give the<br />

characters names in the transcripts. The adult is Mr.<br />

<strong>Sex</strong>pert. Slovenly dressed and poorly groomed, Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

intrudes on the lives of the teens to give advice to help<br />

them continue their “anything goes” sexuality. The teen<br />

girls are Amy, Melissa, and Tara. There are two boys—<br />

Terence who is black and Scott who is white. Race is<br />

significant since one vignette features Terence per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

oral sex on Scott.<br />

The portrayal of sexual content is not highly graphic.<br />

We do see a girl and boy making out and drawings of how<br />

to use a condom. Otherwise, “the action” has just occurred<br />

or is off-screen. Nevertheless, Planned Parenthood’s<br />

advocacy of unfettered sex comes through clearly with<br />

affirmations of vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and<br />

masturbation <strong>for</strong> fun loving teens.<br />

The transcripts below are slightly edited to avoid<br />

unnecessary banter.<br />

Hey, can I ask you a question?<br />

Yeah, yeah, what’s up?<br />

(Amy pulls her pants down to reveal<br />

her genital area.)<br />

Do you see anything down here?<br />

Oh, um, I don’t see anything. Hey, hey, come<br />

here and check this out.<br />

What’s going on?<br />

Do you see anything down there?<br />

Um, I don’t think so<br />

Hey, what’s up y’all?<br />

Do you see anything down there?<br />

Uh, uh, man it’s kind of hard to tell.<br />

Guys, what’s going on over here? Wait a<br />

second. I think I know what’s going on.<br />

Look you can’t always tell if you have a<br />

sexually transmitted infection. In fact, a lot<br />

of times there aren’t even any symptoms.<br />

What are you going to do? Right? You’re<br />

going to get a little test-eroony. Okay,<br />

you’re going to get a test.<br />

Who are you?

Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

Okay, pop quiz. Guys, who can tell me what<br />

HPV stands <strong>for</strong>?<br />

Harry palm virus.<br />

Wrong.<br />

Horse penis virus?<br />

No, no, guys. A horse is a majestic creature.<br />

You.<br />

Horse penis virus.<br />

Wrong, look guys I’ll tell you what HPV stands<br />

<strong>for</strong>. (stuttering) Human Papilloma Virus.<br />

And you know what? You have it.<br />

Excuse me?<br />

Okay, well maybe you don’t have it. But close<br />

to half of all women do and a lot of them<br />

don’t even know they have it. You know<br />

down the road, it can cause cervical cancer.<br />

That’s the bad news.<br />

Whoa, whoa, you never told us the good news.<br />

Oh, there’s a vaccine, you should totally get it.<br />

The HPV vaccine is most effective <strong>for</strong> women<br />

who are not yet sexually active. But it can<br />

be beneficial <strong>for</strong> women who are already<br />

sexually active. Regardless, certain types of<br />

HPV can cause cancer. Contact your health<br />

provider to learn more or to get the vaccine.<br />

Hello?<br />

Hey, do you know what I’m thinking now.<br />

I think I know what you are thinking.<br />

Alright, well, why don’t you come on over?<br />

Okay, hey do you mind if I bring my sister.<br />

Yeah, yeah. You can bring your sister. That<br />

would be awesome.<br />

Great. What time?<br />

You can come right now if you want. Come<br />

right now.<br />

Okay, we’ll just go ahead right over. Oh, I<br />

totally f<strong>org</strong>ot. My grandparents are in town<br />

so I’d kind of have to bring them. It’s okay,<br />

they’re totally into this kind of thing.<br />

Ah, what are you talking about?<br />

Wait, what were you talking about?<br />

Guys, guys. Look, communication is the<br />

foundation of a good relationship. Don’t be<br />

afraid to tell your partner what you are thinking.<br />

Make sure he understands:<br />

what you want,<br />

what you don’t want,<br />

when you want it,<br />

Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert interrupts as Terence is<br />

per<strong>for</strong>ming oral sex on Scott.<br />

Whoa, guy, where’s the prophylactic?<br />

What do you mean?<br />

Look oral sex is still sex. Okay? If it’s<br />

unprotected, you gotta reject it.<br />

(Terence stands up and now appears<br />

in the video. He wipes his mouth with<br />

his hand.)<br />

What, what?<br />

I didn’t even spew.<br />

Guys, it doesn’t matter. If you are having<br />

sex or you’re getting some blow J’s or<br />

whatever, you need to use a condom.<br />

Because you could catch a sexually<br />

transmitted infection--even if you don’t<br />

spew.<br />

Vignette #5: Hot & Heavy<br />

Mr.<br />

<strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

Amy and Scott making out. Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

uses a marking pen and an easel to<br />

demonstrate how to use of a condom.<br />

Guys, guys, it looks like it’s getting a little hot<br />

and heavy in here. Now, be<strong>for</strong>e we take this<br />

to the next step, I want to be sure you know<br />

how to use a condom--rubber, a raincoat, a<br />

boner bucket, party hat, squirt skirt, love<br />

sock.<br />

I know what you are thinking. Everybody<br />

knows how to use a condom, right?<br />

Wrong. What you want to do is roll the<br />

condom over the erect penis, squeezing the<br />

tip so there’s no air trapped inside. If you<br />

find that you can’t roll it down, go ahead<br />

and toss that condom. We don’t take<br />

chances with anything that is contaminated.<br />

Okay?<br />

Once you get it rolled all the way down, we are<br />

ready to take care of business.<br />

Now, immediately after ejaculation, hold the<br />

base of the condom as the penis is removed.<br />

Toss the condom. Wipe the wiener down<br />

with a hanky and your ready to go.<br />

Pretty easy isn’t it?


Vignette #6: Let me do me<br />

Melisa<br />

Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

Hey guy. You want to come to a party?<br />

I kinda have plans.<br />

You have a date?<br />

Kind of.<br />

Who’s the lucky one?<br />

Well, me actually. I just thought I’d stay in<br />

tonight and maybe do a little strummin’ the<br />

banjo.<br />

Oh uh…<br />

What? I like me. I like spending time with me.<br />

And you know what? Tonight, I think I’m<br />

going to go all the way with me.<br />

Unbelievable.<br />

Plus, it’s not like I can get me pregnant or give<br />

me diseases or something.<br />

That’s a good point.<br />

Guys, guys. Look, abstinence can be a beautiful<br />

thing. Alright? It’s kind of like being a<br />

virgin all over again. You know it’s not easy.<br />

So, you should give your friend here a little<br />

bit of support. How about a hug? Go, on.<br />

Girls laugh and hug each other.<br />

Vignette #7: Threesome<br />

Mr.<br />

<strong>Sex</strong>pert<br />

Melissa and Scott are in bed chatting<br />

after having intercourse.<br />

Guy, Guys. What is going in here? Wait a<br />

second. You two are making some intercourse.<br />

Haven’t you. Okay, you are probably<br />

wondering what happens next. I think we know<br />

the answer. You get tested. If you’re a woman,<br />

you should get tested once a year. If you’re a<br />

guy, be<strong>for</strong>e you start a new relationship.<br />

Vignette #8: Take care<br />

This is “slide show” which includes colorful<br />

animated visual patterns, background music and the<br />

following message in text:<br />

We were born to be in love with our bodies.<br />

Ask any three-year-old.<br />

But somewhere down the road to growing up, we put<br />

our reproductive selves in the dark.<br />

Rather than worry about what went wrong, we should<br />

remember it is never too late to know ourselves.<br />

After all, we are ultimately in charge of our bodies.<br />

It may be the most important responsibility we have.<br />

Starting today, let's make a pact: to make our bodies<br />

our best friend.<br />

So that when we make decisions, we are empowered<br />

and aware.<br />

And let's promise to pass that power on my asking<br />

everyone to join us.<br />

And, take care down there!<br />

Vignette #9: “Down there” song<br />

Well go on…


Planned Parenthood’s<br />

“<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>” in Perspective<br />

The pathetic transcripts of <strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong><br />

speak clearly <strong>for</strong> themselves. I comment on just a few<br />

passages.<br />

In vignette #2, Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert reacts to a joking<br />

reference to a horse by countering “A horse is a<br />

majestic animal.” Taken as a whole, the transcripts<br />

offer more dignity to horses than to young boys and<br />

girls. There is nothing majestic in the promiscuitypromoting<br />

advice of <strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>.<br />

Planned Parenthood claims that their<br />

comprehensive sex education promotes abstinence.<br />

The Planned Parenthood version of sex education is<br />

often called “Abstinence Plus.” We can see in<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> that Planned Parenthood is all<br />

about “the Plus.” In vignette #6, abstinence is called a<br />

“beautiful thing” in the context of uninhibited<br />

masturbation. Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert goes on to state that<br />

masturbation can make a girl feel “like a virgin again.”<br />

True abstinence or chastity gets zero affirmation in<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>.<br />

Much has been written about the racist history and<br />

character of Planned Parenthood. (The documentary<br />

Maafa 21 from <strong>Life</strong> Dynamics gives a powerful<br />

account of how diminishing of the black population has<br />

been pursued first through sterilization, and later<br />

through contraception and abortion). The portrayal in<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> of a black teen per<strong>for</strong>ming oral<br />

sex on a white boy fits well within the racist character<br />

of Planned Parenthood.<br />

The slide show of vignette #8 captures the<br />

Planned Parenthood vision of youth sexual expression<br />

in a nutshell. The goal of children in making decisions<br />

is to be “empowered and aware.” <strong>Sex</strong> is about having<br />

knowledge and personal power. Morality and virtue is<br />

off the radar screen.<br />

Vignette #5 makes a statement about avoiding<br />

risk. If a condom does not roll down appropriately, just<br />

toss it out, “We don’t take chances with anything that is<br />

contaminated.” In the whole of <strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>,<br />

risk avoidance never leads to any hesitation about<br />

sexual encounters. The website never questions whether<br />

engaging in particular acts—with multiple partners who<br />

also have multiple partners—are worth the risk. For<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>, the green light <strong>for</strong> sexual<br />

engagement is always on, provided there is risk<br />

reduction. However, even with condom use and STI<br />

testing, significant risk remains. A young boy or girl<br />

may well be damaged severely with an STI or HIV. The<br />

revenue position of Planned Parenthood, however, is<br />

always enhanced by promotion of promiscuity.<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> reiterates the “get tested”<br />

message <strong>for</strong> sexually-active youngsters. However,<br />

nothing is said about what will happen if an STI is<br />

contracted. Two issues arise with a positive STI<br />

diagnosis: treatments and sexual conduct. What<br />

treatments will be provided and what are the effects of<br />

various treatments? Dealing with this topic would have<br />

conflicted with the “sex is so much fun” message of<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong>. Another concern <strong>for</strong> a child<br />

with an STI is what alterations would be called <strong>for</strong> in<br />

sexual conduct. Regarding this question, a clear<br />

position has been presented by International Planned<br />

Parenthood Federation in their January 2010<br />

publication, Healthy, Happy and HOT. IPPF gives the<br />

shocking counsel to HIV-positive youngsters that they<br />

need not limit their sexual behavior and that the HIVinfected<br />

person has no obligation to reveal this fact to<br />

sex partners. In the words of IPPF, “Some countries<br />

have laws which say people living with HIV must tell<br />

their sexual partner(s) about their status be<strong>for</strong>e having<br />

sex.... These laws violate the rights of people living<br />

with HIV…..There are many reasons that people do not<br />

share their HIV status.”<br />

Reading the scripts or seeing the vignettes of<br />

<strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> is a shocking, demeaning and<br />

also necessary. Concern <strong>for</strong> our children and<br />

grandchildren requires that we fight back. To win the<br />

battle we must have thorough understanding of our<br />

adversaries. We must see through this corrupting<br />

content to the underlying strategies of Planned<br />

Parenthood. <strong>TakeCareDownThere</strong> reveals the<br />

following strategies <strong>for</strong> influencing children:<br />

• Present sex in a frivolous, flippant manner.<br />

• Diminish any sense of modesty in young girls as well<br />

as boys.<br />

• “You can be the lucky one.” Try to convince each<br />

youngster that he or she can dodge the unwelcome<br />

impacts of a promiscuous life-style by partaking<br />

in Planned Parenthood advice and services.<br />

• Tell teens (and preteens) that sex is all about being<br />

healthy, happy, and in control. Ignore virtue and<br />

morality.<br />

• If Planned Parenthood does get into morality,<br />

aggressive moral relativism and personal<br />

autonomy is affirmed. What is right or wrong is<br />

strictly a matter of personal choice. There are no<br />

universal, binding principles of right and wrong.<br />

• Give children more to think about and act upon.<br />

Lead them on by presenting new options and<br />

further steps to take in their demeaning sexual<br />

journeys.<br />

• Give the impression that “everybody’s doing it.”<br />

• <strong>Pro</strong>mote Planned Parenthood as THE trusted source<br />

on sex!! When Mr. <strong>Sex</strong>pert is not around, teens<br />

can always get advice and “services” without their<br />

parents’ knowledge but paid with their parents’<br />

taxes.<br />
