C-FAM: Girl Scouts distribute sex guide at UN
Girl Scouts distributed an explicit sex guide at a UN workshop, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute reports. C-FAM says at the Commission on the Status of Women (see WORLD’s coverage here), the Girl Scouts held a panel that kicked out non-Scout adults and distributed an International Planned Parenthood Federation brochure that said the following:
“Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse… But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!” The brochure goes on to encourage young people to “Improve your sex life by getting to know your own body. Play with yourself! Masturbation is a great way to find out more about your body and what you find sexually stimulating. Mix things up by using different kinds of touch from very soft to hard. Talk about or act out your fantasies. Talk dirty to them.”
In the latest development, the Girl Scouts have denied that they distributed the brochure, implying it was left over from a previous event. Austin Ruse, president of C-FAM, responds by saying all previous parallel events that day were not about adolescent topics–the focus of the brochure. He also noted that Girl Scouts has a long-standing relationship with IPPF.

WOW! From Girl Scout Cookies to Girl Scout Sex! Our Progressive nation sure has come a long way. Next thing you know they’ll be selling Girl Scout Condoms or maybe even Girl Scout Morning After Pills at those little booths at grocery stores and malls.
Just think International Planned Parenthood Federation is a taxpayer supported foundation winning hundreds of thousands of dollars every year in tax payer money so they can distribute sex material.
We used to call stuff like this soft porn but not now! Now we call it GOOD STUFF, wholesome and good for the whole family.
Sex, it’s not just between two consenting adults, let’s make it about young kids, as young as we can get them. Now that’s PROGRESS.
Now, if my comments disgust you and you want to hit moderate remember that this is what the Progressives are shoving down our throats every day.

The Girl Scouts have apparently changed since my day when we busied ourselves with craft making, singing Christmas carols in nursing homes, taking horseback riding lessons and, yes, selling lots and lots of cookies.

I WANT TO BE THE ONLY ONE TO TELL MY DAUGHTER ABOUT SEX. AND AT 12 YEARS OLD I REALLY AM NOT CONCERNED ABOUT HER ORGASM’S. SHE CAN FIGURE IT ALL OUT LATER. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW DISGUSTING IT WOULD BE TO HEAR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS HAVING PHONE SEX OR TALKING DIRTY TO EACH OTHER?
IT IS ONE THING FOR ME TO TAKE HER TO A SEX EDUCATION CLASS THAT THE PARISH NURSE HAS AT OUR CHURCH BUT IT IS ANOTHER FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD TO PUT THIS GARBAGE ON A WEBSITE.
HAVE ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY BEEN TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S WEBSITE LATELY TO LOOK AROUND.
SUGGESTION: IF YOU CAN’T FIND A CONDOM OR DO NOT HAVE ONE USE SARAN WRAP.
YES I DO MEAN TO BE YELLING.

Did you know when you Google Planned Parenthood that the first entry that comes up here in VA is http://www.novahc.com, a website for an abortion clinic.
Good yell Kim. We all are yelling with you because just when did it become okay in America for your lead ad to be “Accidents happen…that’s why we have emergency contraception (the morning after pill)? Is anybody going to get upset that SEX is now an ACCIDENT? When did having sex become an accident? OOPS, slipped up today and had sex…..better go get that morning after pill for my 15 year old girlfriend?
Oh I am sure the Progressives and liberals will be around to tell us it is about a woman’s choice. But I seriously think Planned Parenthood needs to take PARENTHOOD out of their name because they have no such agenda.

I know nothing at all about girl scouts. But I was surprised to see women (two in two troops) working in Boy Scouts because they said they couldn’t work with Girl Scouts.
All I know is what they said. In both cases, they were helping their husbands.

On what basis is anything off-limits in our culture? From politicians to girl scouts, so many simply do what is right in their own eye.
In this environment it is all the more important for followers of Jesus to actually follow Him in word and deed. And to follow without going to the opposite extreme of legalism.
There is an inherent comfort and security in having Jesus Christ as our Shepherd. He calls it LIFE.
I had a very good friend who spent many years in a non-Biblical life style. He came to call it a death-style.
Dear God, thank You for your Forgiveness, Grace and Peace. Help us to enjoy You so much that we accurately and effectively communicate You to the ones all around us caught up in their own eyes.

Wretched.
Not the guide itself, which no one here mentions was geared to HIV positive “young people”, who are not defined as adolescents.
Not the fact that the Girl Scout adults and the UN representatives approved the content and distribution, which is antithetical to the Catholic Church’s position on birth control.
Not the fact that the Girl Scouts – much like the Boy Scouts – can run their organization as they see fit.
What’s truly wretched here is the poor quality of the reporting on this issue. Where is the full Girl Scout response as opposed to the Catholic’s version? Why is the fact that the pamphlet was geared to HIV positive young adults not mentioned?
All in all, a transparent and obvious hatchet job. And every previous commenter bought it without question.
Report comment to moderator
Thomas1, please read the third, and final, paragraph where there is some response from the Girl Scouts. They deny even leaving the pamphlets. They did not mention anything about influencing HIV positive young people. The Girl Scouts removed all adults, not everyone who may not be interested in HIV prevention. So, I think your argument may not be valid. From reading some of the linked articles, the intent appears to be to influence young people to “…to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!” Shouldn’t that be the parent’s job?
You do make one very valid point, this was not a balanced article. But with the extremely limited space provided in these World Mag blips, there really is not much that can be revealed.

Report comment to moderator
Thomas, the block of text quoted from the brochure is neither an effective nor appropriate statement for HIV young people or for anyone for whom a self-disciplined life is beneficial. You wisely questioned the balance of the reporting, but seem to disregard the nature of the brochures content. It can hardly be argued that the criticisms inaccurately portray PP literature and behavior. Association with PP is not good for the Girl Scouts.
Report comment to moderator
Of course it’s even better advice for teens living with HIV, and teens living with HIV is the intended audience of the brochure. I”m not surprised that Alisa isn’t honest enough to include that information. For sexuality active teens with HIV or with HIV+ partners, affirming sex acts with low transmission risk and combating the dangerous notion held by most teens that only vaginal intercourse is “real” sex could very well save lives. This is advice I would give to any teenager. Encouraging alternatives to vagina intercourse for sexually active teens prevents unwanted pregnancies and saves lives.

Thomas, welcome back. I wondered where you were. As noted above my Episcopal church just recently had a sex education class that the parish nurse conducted. Each girl who attended was given a bracelet with a cross on it from the church. Parents were given an outline beforehand.

And that Kim is how it is supposed to be handled, not by Girl Scouts distributing pamphlets about having sex the “right” way if you are HIV positive to non-existent HIV positive teens. Or did I miss something and they shipped in a bunch of HIV teens so they could show them how to have sex the right way and enjoy it?
And just why are we exploiting teen sex now? Is teen sex a good thing? Should we now be teaching teens how to have sex properly? Is this the new Progressive thing to do? I can see a Progressive with his pre-teen daughter now “Now honey I’m not going to have the birds and the bees talk with you. Instead I am going to send you down to the Planned Parenthood office so they can have this talk with you and give you some pamphlets about how to properly enjoy sex and should you slip up and have a little accident honey, they will show you how to get rid of that obnoxious little thing growing inside of your body.”
Yeah works for me.
Report comment to moderator
Well, Kim, if that is how you feel, don’t send your daughter to any UN conventions on the status of women or to any panels on teen sexuality. Let’s not pretend that any of your children would have ever been at this event with your permission. So I’m not sure where the outrage is coming from. Surely you don’t think you have the right to tell other people that they can’t let their children get this information?

Thomas said it was only geared to HIV positive teens…..so it stands that if it was geared to only HIV positive teens that only HIV positive teens were at the conference? Or is that too simple for you?
Report comment to moderator
What Planned Parenthood isn’t telling you is that the real agenda has to do with money. Here’s the neat thing…..if they can get more teenagers to engage in sexual acts, they then can get paid more money in grants from the government to “combat” teenage pregnancy. The way to “combat” this in a Progressive world is to schedule more abortions, where Planned Parenthood works in conjunction with local abortion clinics who then donate parts of their proceeds to Planned Parenthood to continue their works.
Don’t believe that? Read Planned Parenthood’s annual report but most importantly their IRS Form 990.

#10 – “Girl Scouts – much like the Boy Scouts – can run their organization as they see fit.”
Are you saying that “Girl Scouts” are free to murder the souls and spirits of girls as long as they don’t murder their bodies? Or maybe you would be just as pleased if they murdered their physical frames too? Cuts down on population, you know.
Leftism is disgusting and far far far more unethical, in this case, than human chattle slavery.
In any case, we can oppose them as clearly and vigorously as we want too.

Back when I had sex education it was essentially a biology lesson with all the proper medical terms. I learned in vivid detail about human reproduction, but there was nothing sexual about it.

The brochure linked in the story, says that young people with HIV shouldn’t have to tell their sexual partner(s) as long as they use a condom. What a disgrace. And completely irresponsible! How could anyone think they have the right to endanger someone else like that! And this is what the Girl Scouts are promoting now? They’ve sure gone downhill. I’ve already bought my last thin mint.

The point has been made that the brochure is intended to teach people with a transmissible deadly disease how to have sex in ways that don’t put other people at risk. Including masturbation, which doesn’t put anyone at any risk. It’s about saving lives.
You all are hysterically running around screaming that it’s about enticing young girls into having sex.
I am really getting frustrated with the idiocy that is becoming more and more the norm around here. With Jon Rowe kicked out, CoyoteBlue popping only occasionally, and Thomas1 showing up here for the first time in a while, the lunatics are rapidly taking over the asylum.

Right, Steve. Things are just out of control when the opinion of Bible-believing Christians is the majority opinion on a conservative Christian blog.

I’m afraid it’s just not as innocuous as ‘saving lives’, Steve. In fact, I don’t think it’s about saving lives at all.
This is an example of the information I was referring to. I can’t believe any responsible person would advocate that it’s okay to have any communicable disease and not tell their sexual partner before having sex. And to promote this kind of irresponsibility to Girl Scouts?? No thanks. They can learn deceive all by themselves; they don’t need Girl Scouts to reinforce it. Parenting is hard enough without this kind of organized garbage.

Kim – I agree the parent should be the most important person in a child’s education and even if the school health class covers sexuality, that’s not good enough the parents need to discuses it with children. My daughter is turning 12 soon and I want to control the information. However, this pamphlet doesn’t concern my daughter or yours, its intended audience is HIV positive teens. To have or not to have sex is no longer a question, they’ve been there and done it so now the information revolves around safety.

One part of the pamphlet that caught my eye was the last few pages describing how to make sex “safer.” Formerly, it was “safe” sex, now it’s “safer sex.”
The implication is that sex with HIV+ people is NOT safe.
Whatever happened to the pamphlets that tell you that HIV is deadly! That no amount of “safer sex” is worth putting your life and health at risk!
I’m so confused:
1. obesity is unhealthy, but safer sex is fine
2. too much salt is unhealthy, but HIV sex is fine
3. too many transfats are unhealthy, but sex with HIV+ people is OK
4. Get government out of my bedroom (pro-abortion cry of the 80’s), but now in my wallet is fine
5. parents should be involved in their chldren’s lives, but government really knows what’s best for them
I could go on and on . . .

One thing that is confusing….sorry I didn’t see the thread to actually read the pamphlet and now have.
“If” to discuss being HIV positive with a partner? Uh, gee, I’m sorry….”if” you “choose” not to discuss that you are HIV+ doesn’t that endanger your sexual partner? Why yes, I think it does and that is why HIV keeps growing. I think perhaps it might be better to disclose this little challenge before you start having sex. Or maybe “Planned” “Parenthood” could suggest NOT having safe or any kind of sex UNTIL you have disclosed this.

I’m wondering too where the pamphlet says that it is specifically for HIV positive teens?
And, why was it distributed at a Girl Scout discussion if only targeted to HIV+ teens?
And, why were all the adults kicked out?
And, why do so many Girl Scout councils and Girl Scout National Headquarters support Planned Parenthood and their agenda?

Okay, I see from the pamphlet that it is mostly directed to young people with HIV.
The rest of it is pretty disgusting.
And, it is pretty obvious that it was distributed during the closed GS meeting.
Report comment to moderator
To those who think young people doesn’t mean teens, one page talking to the sexes individually says in large letters “boys” and “girls.” And later in the pamphlet, it talks about going to a clinic that doesn’t require parental consent. So it may not be talking only to minors, but it most certainly includes minors.
And when it talks about laws in which HIV-positive people must disclose their status to sex partners, it urges the reader to try to get those laws overthrown. And it talks about how those with HIV can adopt children. And on and on. Yes, this is sick.

As I expected, it was very difficult to choose the dumbest thread WITH the dumbest comments on worldmagblog today. However, it is a piece of cake to contribute the dumbest comment of the day.
Humans die, often of epidemics. Before we had modern medicine, before we had the germ theory of illness, people died of various illnesses, such as typhoid (spread by Typhoid Mary), Inquisitioness (spread by religious superstition), Bubonic Plague spread by bonobos, religious superstition (spread by dismay over meaningless death), tuberculosis, spread by mad tubers, dipthereia, spread by dips, anthrax, spread by ants, and so on. People did not realize they should pick fleas off each other, stop keeping rats as pets, and should wash their hands after having sex or eliminating waste materialsto prevent epidemics.
Now we have made a little progress, eliminating smallpox from the world, though humans (as far as I can tell) are keeping a little stocked away in case we become nostalgic for mass death.
However, humans are not intelligent creatures, though we often tell ourselves we are. We now know how HIV-AIDS is transmitted most of the time, and we know how to prevent its transmission most of the time. How do we prevent it? It is quite easy. We post comments on worldmagblog telling people, especially young people, not to engage in sex.
As is well known, and well-demonstrated, a young person who reads at least five worldmagblog comments a day will never engage in sexual activity until married to a Christian of the opposite sex, and will never die. This is guaranteed by Jesus Christ. If this does not prove true for you, or for a young person in your family, Jesus Christ will refund all the money you spent raising that child AND all the money you donated to your church!
And if he doesn’t, the Girl Scouts of Thailand will give you double money back. In Sicilian money, the safest, cleanest, and strongest currency in the world. (325 words of surpassing dumbness.)

It even talks about how to reduce fluid exchange IF you decide not to use protection.
Safer sex? NOT!
It tells the kid to go find a clinic that DOES NOT require parental notification!
It should be a crime for a HIV+ to have sex without telling the partner!
It does encourage these kids to have all the sex and partners they want.

I was going to apologize for my outburst, but then I read the subsequent comments and decided I wasn’t wrong.
Xion: It’s funny though that you would say that encouraging young girls to have sex doesn’t encourage them to have sex.
If they’re HIV-positive, they’re already having sex. (Or addicted to heroin.) If the information in the guide helps them do that without putting others at risk, that’s a good thing.
I looked through the brochure and there’s a lot that I don’t like about it. There’s a lot in it I disagree with.
But your hysteria is just ridiculous. It links sex with health risk and death so strongly that its effect on most people who are HIV-negative is likely to be just the opposite of what you all are imagining.
