A long decline in the percentage of American teens who are sexually active has leveled off, and an increasing number of teen girls are using the morning after birth control pill on a regular basis, according to the findings of a recently published study . . .
[Valerie Huber] says sex education in public schools in recent years has been focused on the assumption that all or most kids are sexually active, which puts pressure on more teens to meet that expectation.
That drowns out the main message students should be hearing – that the best way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease is to put sex on hold during the middle school and high school years, Huber said . . .
“A real emphasis should be renewed on sexual delay because it removes all the possible consequences of teen sex, including those that are not the ones people usually think of – pregnancy and STDs. Teens could greatly benefit from messages reinforcing the healthiest choice of waiting for sex.”
Huber was reacting to a new survey on teen sex from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The survey is based on interviews with about 2,000 teens between the ages of 15 and 19, conducted between 2011 and 2013.

In the fourth undercover video by the Center for Medical Progress exposing Planned Parenthood’s baby body bazaar, there are at least seven statements of guilt by one of their Colorado abortionists, Dr. Savita Ginde. That’s right, not just a couple of statements alluding to illegal activity, but seven, often hiding in cluttered and broken syntax. The first statement is so horrific you can’t believe you just heard it.
Here they are:
1) While discussing the procuring of fetuses, Dr. Ginde says, “Sometimes, if we get, if someone delivers before we are able to see them for a procedure then we are intact.” Then she says they don’t try for that, implying that the procedure is bad. It is clear she is referring to infants born alive, and after the baby is born alive, Planned Parenthood apparently still kills it, which at that point would be murder under the law.
2) Contrary to Planned Parenthood’s defense that it is merely selling fetal body parts at cost — not for profit, which is illegal — Dr. Ginde admits she likes a pricing scheme that breaks it down per specimen because she can make more money. “I think the per item thing works,” she observes, “since you can see how much you can get out of it.”
3) Dr. Ginde seems to admit Planned Parenthood is breaking the law, by warning the potential buyers they’re likely to get caught in a state less tolerant of the illegal activity: “Because if you have someone in a really anti state that’s going to be doing this for you, they’re probably going to get caught.”
4) Dr. Ginde discusses the need for the various Planned Parenthood locations to keep their lies straight, which is also collusion: “So if anyone who gets called out or runs with it, that we’re all like, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you were doing this, oh, I’m doing this too.’ We have to be coordinated with each other.” Buyer: “To keep the stories straight.” Dr. Ginde: “Yeah.” She elaborates: “Well and to make sure that we’re all saying the same thing. And that the CEOs are all saying the same thing.”
5) At one point Dr. Ginde drops into pretending that Planned Parenthood’s selling of fetal body parts is research, but admits that other affiliates may be be selling them as purely a business venture, asking: “Are the other Planned Parenthoods doing this through research, or are they doing it as a stand-alone contract? Because, even though we’re doing it through research, if it comes up as someone else is just doing it as a business sort of venture, it puts a different spin on it.”
6) Dr. Ginde further admits that calling it research is not accurate, that such language is used for the sake of appearances. The buyer says that the National Institutes of Health doesn’t like calling it research since it’s just procurement, and Dr. Ginde responds, “Well, I know, but putting it under the research gives us a little bit of a, a little sort of an overhang over the whole thing.” Buyer: “It makes it look better.” Dr. Ginde: “Yeah. And in public I think it makes a lot more sense for it to be in the research vein than, I’d say, business venture.”
7) Dr. Ginde suggests calling Planned Parenthood’s Senior Director of Medical Services Deb Nucatola — featured in the first undercover video — in order to get the spin from all the different locations straight: “So if we all decide that we are going to do it outside of research, then we do it outside of research. But if we all decided to do it under research, that we have a different path, that we know we’re all registering and doing the same thing again.”
8) Dr. Ginde implies that Planned Parenthood’s attorney has carefully covered up any wrongdoing. Buyer: “How confident are you with your attorney’s work that you’ve seen?” Dr. Ginde: “Very.” Buyer: “They’re building many layers, so that they are making it difficult?” Dr. Ginde: “He’s got it figured out that that he knows that even if — because we talked to him in the beginning, you know, we were like, ‘We don’t want to get called on, you know, selling fetal parts across states.’” And then this: “I’m confident that our legal will make sure that we are not put in that situation.”
This fourth video alone provides more than enough evidence that Planned Parenthood is selling fetal body parts not merely to cover costs but for profit, a violation of 42 U.S. Code 289g. It also reveals that when Planned Parenthood calls their organ harvesting work “research,” this is at least sometimes mere pretense.
Its defenders and friends in the media dutifully repeat those words whenever anyone objects to funding Planned Parenthood. This video will make this ruse much harder to pull off.
In the video the abortionists also slip up and exclaim “It’s a baby” and “another boy!” This, too, needs to be denied by the purveyors of “freedom” and “choice.” In the fetal body shops of America, persons are free, and persons make choices. Unpersons are, well, unmade. (Re-posted with permission of the author, “7 Admissions of Guilt by Planned Parenthood in 4th Undercover Video”, originally appeared HERE)

Caught red-handed selling fetal body parts in a series of videos that are still being released, Planned Parenthood has turned to crisis communications firm SKDKnickerbocker to control the damage. Appropriately, one of the firm’s top reps is Hilary Rosen, famous for ridiculing Ann Romney for being a stay-at-home mom. In 2012, the Democratic strategist said on CNN during the presidential campaign that the wife of Mitt Romney had “never worked a day in her life.” Ann Romney responded by setting up a Twitter account and tweeting, “I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.” The outrage was deafening, forcing Rosen to issue an apology.
If Planned Parenthood is trying to make themselves appear more likable, Rosen is a strange choice. She “garnered widespread hatred on the Internet” as the CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America for quashing Napster and other file-sharing services. And during an interview in 2010, she brazenly boasted of her lack of ethics in conducting business: “When I gave $1,000 or $2,000 to a lawmaker, I wanted him to listen to my business proposition. And when I helped organize an event that raised $50,000 or $100,000, you bet I expected their vote. Why else do it?”
Also, SKDKnickerbocker’s managing director is Democratic PR flak Anita Dunn, who has said Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist revolutionary and mass murdering dictator, is one of her favorite philosophers. Considering how many millions Zedong is responsible for murdering, as well as the babies who lost their lives to abortion due to communist China’s one-child per family policy, Dunn clearly wasn’t chosen to help soften Planned Parenthood’s position on selling fetal body parts.
Dunn, incidentally, is married to DC lawyer Robert Bauer who tried but failed to get “the Department of Justice to prosecute conservative critics and to go after TV networks for running ads connecting Obama to radical bomber Bill Ayers.”
By its selection of the far left Democratic PR agency SKDKnickerbocker, Planned Parenthood has made it clear it does not intend to budge an inch on the horrific practices it is accused of. Instead of backing off on dismembering fetal body parts and selling them, we can expect to hear their PR flaks continue to ignore and deflect the incriminating statements made by abortion doctors in the undercover videos.
Their goal is to keep both the taxpayer money and the income from the sale of fetal body parts flowing into their coffers. In order to do that, they must convince everyone that the generous amounts Planned Parenthood makes from the body parts sales are not profitable but mere costs — contrary to the frank discussion about profits the abortion doctors are caught on video addressing. They will also have to make the case that the discussions caught on video which sound like partial-birth abortion procedures were misinterpreted, and that references to changing the procedures without getting patient approval were also misinterpreted.
They also hired a leftwing polling firm to conduct a laughably slanted poll showing that Americans actually feel pretty warm and fuzzy about sending their tax dollars to this human body shop because, gosh, Planned Parenthood is really mostly about cancer screenings and holding the hands of pregnant women and singing “We are the World’ or something.
In the wake of the videos and the ensuing landslide of eyewitness testimony about the dark business of Planned Parenthood, SKDKnickerbocker has a tall public relations order to fill, especially considering there are more videos to be released which may involve more incriminating statements. A tall order but not quite impossible: The mainstream media is on Planned Parenthood’s side, and the millions of unborn babies threatened by Planned Parenthood don’t have a powerhouse PR agency.

Reporters and politicos covered-up Bill Clinton’s ongoing affair in 2008 as Hillary competed with Barack Obama for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
During the Clinton impeachment investigation and trial as reports and accusations of Clinton sexually assaulting and raping women piled up, it was said by his liberal defenders that America needs to be more like the French when it comes to affairs by its leaders. Well, we’ve seen how having affairs in high office worked out (badly) for the French.
But at least the French knew what was going on. In the 2008 campaign, the media chose to keep from voters the crucial information of Bill Clinton yet again breaking faith with his marriage vows.
It was the January 2010 publication of the book Game Change by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann which mentioned the affair that prompted the confession by Huffington Post reporter Mayhill Fowler that she knew about but did not report on the affair in February 2008. (Actually, it was a promotional confession as Fowler was pushing a new e-book of her own, Notes from a Clueless Journalist: Media, Bias and the Great Election of 2008, that was being released that week.)
In (2015) because of the media’s protective non-reporting we do not know whether Bill Clinton carried on his affair throughout his wife’s term as secretary of State, whether the national security implications of the affair were raised during her confirmation and whether Bill Clinton has yet learned to not sexually assault women.

Planned Parenthood got caught. They’re shocked that we’re shocked at what is finally revealed. Dismembering babies, delivering them dead, and bartering the sale of baby body parts.
Video records Planned Parenthood officials nibbling salad, sipping fruit of the vine, nonchalantly pondering where to spend their profits. More wine? Fast cars? These are horrifying videos, with many more to come, one recorded over a nice meal with a doctor sipping, explaining snipping, and cutting, and butchering babies so they can harvest the beating heart that was just snuffed out, the lungs, the liver… all in the most profitable manner. Just another day at the office.
A civilized nation does not tolerate this. Even friends saying they may still be pro-choice are sickened by the abortion industry’s revelations. As one friend just emailed me, “This is not what we signed up for when told abortion would be safe, legal, and rare. I can not believe this is happening, selling baby parts.”
Can you imagine the outrage on the Left if these were puppy parts?
How can the origins of Planned Parenthood and the philosophy of its founder be tolerated, much less praised and celebrated – and blessed – by the Left? (Read more from “Sarah Palin: Why Planned Parenthood Must Be Shut Down for Good” HERE)

For 6 months, Holly O’Donnell’s job was to identify pregnant women at Planned Parenthood who met criteria for fetal tissue orders and to harvest the fetal body parts after their abortions.
As if the first two videos involving fetal organ harvesting and haggling over price weren’t vile enough, yet another video has gone public from the Center For Medical Progress. This one looks to be the first of a new angle on the series, entitled “Human Capital. Episode 1: Planned Parenthood’s Black Market In Baby Parts,” and it takes on more of a documentary type of feel.
This episode feature the story of Holly O’Donnell, a phlebotomist-turned-whistleblower who was looking for work drawing blood, “I thought I was going to be just drawing blood, not procuring tissue from aborted fetuses“, as she applied for a job with a company called Stem Express. O’Donnell says that Stem Express didn’t even tell her what job would entail during her interview. She later learned that they hire procurement techs to “draw blood and dissect dead fetuses, and sell the parts to researchers. They partner with Planned Parenthood and they get part of the money.”
“We were asked to procure certain tissues, like brain, liver, sinus, pancreas, heart, lungs, and pretty much anything on the fetus. It’s basically a huge trafficking of fetal tissues” she reveals. “They weren’t looking for a compassionate individual, at all. They were just looking for someone who could get as much money, as many samples. I think that’s why they were interested in me, as a phlebotomist, cause I can draw quick… They wanted someone who could get the numbers up.”
O’Donnell says that the owner of Stem Express, Cate Dyer, used to be a procurement tech, but started her own company. “Now she’s making, a lot of money, based off the poor girl who half the time don’t want to get abortions. It’s a pretty sick company.”

The University of California admissions department believes students can be whatever they want to be.
At least when it comes to their gender.
Admission applications used by the UC system are giving potential students a host of choices for gender-related questions – including six varieties to describe “gender identity.” The questions, which will go into circulation this fall, are voluntarily answered and responses don’t impact the admissions process, a UC spokesperson told The College Fix.
Applicants can choose male, female, trans male/trans man, trans female/trans woman, gender queer/gender non-conforming and “different identity” to describe their “gender identity.”
By contrast, some of the other questions seem downright limiting in potential answers. For instance, “what sex were you assigned at birth” has only two choices: male or female. A question about sexual orientation features three possible responses: “heterosexual or straight,” “gay or lesbian” or fill-in-the-blank.

Senate Republicans had a chance to stop Planned Parenthood from butchering unborn children and selling their body parts to the highest bidder. Instead, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to put up a vote—thumbing his nose at Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, along with every pro-lifer in the nation.
That sort of emasculated leadership is why Donald Trump is surging in the polls.
What happened over the weekend was an unprecedented display of cowardice from chicken-hearted politicians. It was a dastardly double-cross.
Senator Cruz delivered this blistering rebuke:
“To the millions of Americans who rallied in November believing if only we got a Republican majority in the Senate something would be different, this was a clarifying and a sad moment.”

As expected, the Boy Scouts of America lifted the ban on gay adult scoutmasters and assistant scoutmasters on Monday. The decision will allow gay and bi-sexual adults, both male and female, to volunteer in troops across the country.
Although the lift is expected to anger the more conservative scout base, the organization will still allow for individual troops to enforce their own rules regarding the admittance of scouts. In other words, troops that wish to exclude gay troop leaders may continue enforcing the ban.
The largest religious institution within the Boy Scouts – the Mormon Church – has expressed their desire to not leave the organization, as long as they are able to continue banning gay scouts and leaders. Likewise, the Catholic Church will continue to be involved with Scouting on the same condition.
James Dale, an Eagle Scout who in 1991 was excluded from serving as an Assistant Scoutmaster because he is gay, is not happy with the decision:
“This is not a bold measure… A bold measure would be ending discrimination.” (Read more from “After 105 Years, Boy Scouts Officially Lift Ban on Gay Leadership – With One Exception” HERE)

“I think this is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings….” That’s how Kim Kardashian’s celebrity husband, rapper Kanye West, described Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transition from manhood to womanhood during West’s brief appearance on the premiere of the new reality show “I Am Cait” on Sunday night.
While legitimately claiming the title of one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, West’s claim that Jenner’s public journey into transgenderism is somehow a seminal event in the history of man(?)kind seems to be a rather exaggerated, if not demonstrably preposterous, statement. Of course, this is “reality” TV.
In the minds of many sympathetic and supportive liberals, Jenner is a cultural hero of sorts — a courageous trailblazer leading the way to a more inclusive and accepting society. Paradigm-busting progressives celebrate the new series on the E! cable network as a breakthrough opportunity to shine a favorable light on the challenges and issues facing trans folk.
But not all the reviews of the first episode of “I Am Cait” were kind to the reality show — sometimes referred to as an eight-part documentary series that shows an angst-riddled but hopeful Jenner in a wide variety of settings and situations.
In his assessment of the show, The New York Times‘ Mike Hale offered a comment in his first paragraph that set the tone for his review: “Once again [Jenner is] a polished, effective pitchwoman, selling acceptance and transgender pride as capably as she once sold breakfast cereal.”
