Latest undercover video shows Planned Parenthood’s oppression of women
To believe the media these days is to believe that Planned Parenthood is the oppressed rather than the oppressor that it is. While the abortion giant is making a Goliath about the birth-control issue, the truth about what’s really happening behind closed doors is that Planned Parenthood will stop at nothing to promote its sexual agenda, even oppressing minors and exposing them to pornography, sex trafficking, and sexual abuse.
Yesterday Live Action released a new video showing a Planned Parenthood worker in Colorado, advising an underage girl on how to perform sex acts, find pornography, and hide it from her parents. Exacerbating the tragedy of this video is that it’s not an isolated incident but the latest in a string of undercover videos from Planned Parenthoods across the nation, showing that its primary role isn’t “women’s health” as it purports so much people sometimes believe it without question; instead, its primary role is sex at all costs, with abortion-on-demand as a result.

The video was profoundly disturbing. A worker at the Planned Parenthood, the same one that also recently won an award for increasing its abortions over the last year, tells a teenager that she should read Fifty Shades of Grey together with her boyfriend and decide what they want to do together, such as “whipping” and “asphyxiation.” The video causes an average person to do a double take; surely that woman did not just tell a teenager to participate in whipping and choking as a normal part of sex! But she did. Over and over. Whipping as part of sex may bring “pleasure,” she says to the minor, telling her to read through the pornographic book with her boyfriend and decide what they feel comfortable with trying. She adds other astounding pieces of advice:
“Some guys like women to urinate on them—and it can be really fun.”
“…watch porn and act it out.”
“You can gag them, whip them…”
And then in a stunning reminder of the oppressive nature of Planned Parenthood, we learn that no may actually mean yes.
She tells the girl to have a “safe word” in these extreme sexual acts, so that if the whipping turns bad or the choking starts to actually choke a victim (because they are victims; this is victimization, no matter what Planned Parenthood labels it to promote their sexual business) there is a way to stop it. The girl asks if the code word for stopping can be stop. Planned Parenthood tells her no:

Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

Stop can mean go. No can mean yes. This is what Planned Parenthood wants minors to know. Go to a sex store with your boyfriend—even though it’s illegal for a minor to go to a sex store. Use your phone to access porn so your parents don’t find out. To Planned Parenthood the message is clear: Do whatever you want, whenever you want, extreme, perverted, dangerous—because that’s “fun.”
Planned Parenthood would have us think it is liberating women with its “free” birth control and help with abortion on demand, that women don’t have to be held back just because they are women. But they aren’t held back because they are women; instead, they are being hurtled into sexual oppression at the hands of Planned Parenthood. Typically we regard oppression as holding power over a person and abusing them, so many don’t blink at Planned Parenthood, but they should. Social oppression is partly defined this way:
“Social oppression is a concept that describes a relationship of dominance and subordination between categories of people in which one benefits from the systematic abuse, exploitation, and injustice directed toward the other. Because social oppression describes relationships between categories of people, it should not be confused with the oppressive behavior of individuals. In social oppression, all members of a dominant and subordinate categories participate regardless of the individual attitudes or behavior.”
Planned Parenthood’s continual disregard for the integrity of women has manipulated a culture into believing that the only thing abnormal is not participating in any sexual act or abortion. The abortion pioneer is oppressing women, not caring for their health. No teenage girl is ready for the emotional and physical abuse this worker advises. Mimicking abuse and calling it consensual doesn’t make it not abuse; it makes it oppressive and manipulative–and abusive.
Today’s video, combined with the string of offenses from Planned Parenthood lately must open our eyes to realize that regardless of what one views as right or wrong with birth control, the issue with Planned Parenthood is not birth-control. When an organization receives over $540 million in government funding, and yet uses its funds to counsel a teenager to return to her abuser, cover up sex trafficking, or participate in whipping and choking a sex partner, among other things, the reality shows that the same government that gives the organization its millions of dollars is also looking the other way at unethical, immoral, and, ultimately, illegal acts. That makes not only Planned Parenthood an oppressor, but the agencies and nation that funds it a part of the oppression.
