This morning, I ran across a piece about Planned Parenthood Golden Gate's new cartoon video "Superhero for Choice" over on the Dawn Patrol. Dawn Patrol has a great deal to say about this video, all of it on the mark, and she has links to sites that have made the video available for download, so you should check it out for yourself.

In the video, they portray a shady character that looks like a cross between Boris Badinoff and Dick Dastardly promoting abstinence as the best way to avoid unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. For the pregnancy counter, the kids mention using condoms (last I checked, 86% viable, providing they are used correctly) the "pill" (something on the order of 99%, again, only if used correctly) as a means to prevent pregnancy, but offer no items to counter STDs. The pro-abstinence character is portrayed as a very shady character deliberately to make teen sex look and sound cool, or as the video puts it, "safe is sexy." Dianysis, a deliberate choice of name to make the superhero sound both sexy and associate it with the CEO of Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, then drowns the pro-abstinence promoter in a trash can filled with a lubricant PPGG recommends to teenagers for using in certain, ah, "activities," shall we say, and you can check out The Dawn Patrol for a more specific description.

Next up are a group of shadily portrayed "anti-choice" protestors, which, after acknowledging that they have a right to protest in front of abortion clinics, Dianysis fires her condom gun that encases the protestors in condoms, then explode, vaporizing the protestors. Semantics: people who view abortion as immoral are "Pro-Life" not "anti-choice". Also, the protestors are portrayed as ugly, contemptible creatures, who "often become unruly," meaning violent.

The video consistently portrays people who are pro-life and promote abstinence in a negative fashion, and is blatant in showing them as ugly and repressive, while the pro-death, damn the STDs, full sex ahead crowd are portrayed in a positive light, despite their drowning out opposed voices from the discourse, and portraying the killing of four people. The credits in the video even show a protestor being decapitated by a condom.

I am stunned to have learned that a Planned Parenthood organization would produce and distribute such a vile, unfairly biased and just plain contemptible video.

At this time, PPGG still refers to the video on the front page of their website, however, the link to the video has been removed. If you are interested, Dawn Patrol has a series of links to the video for download. Check it out and see for yourself.

The only "safe sex" is no sex outside of marriage (I know, I'm a fine to talk...), The video promotes teen sex, and even suggests that all STDs can be cured, if not avoided, which is patently false (AIDS, herpes, at least, are incurable).
