Washington, D.C. — “Planned Parenthood has continued its assault on the lives and sensibilities of our children by conducting its 'Nobody's Fool' 2004 conference in Waco, Texas, [July 15],” said Jim Sedlak, executive director of American Life League's STOPP International. “From start to finish, this conference was a thinly-veiled attack on parental rights, public morality, and the health and well-being of our children.”
Parents were not allowed to attend this conference with their children; it was open exclusively to children in the fifth through ninth grades (ages 10-14). “Planned Parenthood barred mothers and fathers from attending the actual sessions because Planned Parenthood knows that parental participation would have hampered its efforts to indoctrinate these children into its world of lies and propaganda,” observed Sedlak.
Children in grades seven through nine also received a free copy of the book, It's Perfectly Normal. “This so-called 'educational text' is nothing more than pornography in comic book form,” stated Sedlak. “Planned Parenthood believes that it has the right to decide if our 12- to 14-year-old children should own a manual that contains detailed explanations on how to perform sexual acts and masturbation. These directions are accompanied by sexually explicit line drawings. This is irresponsible at best and child abuse at worst.”
STOPP International has worked closely over the past several years with Pro-Life Waco to reduce Planned Parenthood's influence on their community. Sedlak added, “We are proud to continue our work with Pro-Life Waco to put an end to these atrocities. Pro-Life Waco has been a stalwart guardian of traditional family values in their community.”
According to Sedlak, this problem will persist “until parents and all people of good will across the nation stand together to oppose Planned Parenthood's continued assault on our families and children.”
