The Trump administration has disqualified more than 50 organizations, including several Planned Parenthood affiliates, from federal Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPPP) dollars for using sexually explicit material that promotes, rather than prevents, youth promiscuity.
The Daily Signal reports that the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health’s Office of Population Affairs notified the affected organizations, including Planned Parenthood’s California Central Coast and Heartland affiliates plus several state and local government health departments, that upon review it determined “some curricula normalize adolescent sexual activity and are not age appropriate, as they contain overly sexually explicit or pornographic content that is not necessary to achieve the TPP program’s statutory mission.”
“As a result, OASH is adjusting its discretionary Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program award portfolio, which includes the decision not to renew some of its TPP Program awards in order to better prioritize agency resources towards the above-mentioned priorities,” it continued.
Highlights of the offending material include detailed instructions on how to use condoms and other contraception methods, discussion prompts on how to obtain condoms, discussions of being exposed to pornography at young ages, and stories about teenagers having sexual activity.
Planned Parenthood is notorious for promoting ideas about underage “safe sex” that are anything but.
