Warning: This Virtue Alert will require a barf bag

The following is from the Family Research Council's "Washington Update":

WARNING: This item contains shocking and graphic content funded by your tax dollars.

Given the recent allegations against Planned Parenthood, one would think the organization would play it safe over the next few months and try to exercise some restraint. But the plan to stay under the media's radar is failing dismally in Oregon and Washington, where the local affiliate is making a full-scale assault on the morality of the states' young people.

On its new website, TakeCareDownThere.org, the group posts a series of videos so revolting that members of my staff were visibly shaken. In one clip, a girl tells her friends that she's staying home from a party to masturbate. When her pals look shocked, she says, "What? I like me. I like spending time with me. Tonight I think I'm going to go all the way with me." On another video, a "teacher" interrupts a boy performing oral sex on another boy and asks them where their condoms are. Others include videos called "Threesome" and "Let me do me," and a song about genitalia that reaches a level of vulgarity that would give even crude networks like MTV pause.

This site is nothing more than an online playground for the prurient. The screen promises "the ins and outs about the ins and outs," but the material is highly inappropriate for adults, let alone young children. Sadly, most parents are unaware that garbage like this is targeting their kids, and even fewer realize that they're paying for it! The website is a project of Planned Parenthood of Columbia Willamette, a Title X grantee. This is exactly why FRC has prodded President Bush to change the government's Title X regulations. Each year, Planned Parenthood pockets more than $300 million of your tax dollars. One way to de-fund the group responsible for obscene material like this is to end the meshing of Title X "family planning" funds with abortion mills. Call the White House switchboard today at 202-456-1414 and ask President Bush to separate these funds before more children are caught up in Planned Parenthood's pornographic web.

If you are a parent, I want to encourage you to take the time to click here to visit this lewd site and watch a few of the clips. They were all shockingly offensive, but the one entitled "I didn't spew" will likely motivate you to pick up your phone and call the White House switchboard today. Remember, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

When I called the White House, I simply told the operator, "I would like to make an appeal to President Bush to put an end to the meshing of Title X family planning funds." I was then put through to a comment line where I had to give my state and repeat my request. I timed the call and the whole process took one minute and 15 seconds.

If you make the call, will you comment below and let me know? Also, please consider forwarding this "Virtue Alert" to other concerned parents in your address book. If they haven't subscribed to my weekly "Virtue Alerts", they can do so by clicking here.

I would also recommend that you visit the Parents for Truth website. When you get there, be sure to watch the "Comprehensive Sex Ed Exposed" clip and then click on "What's happening in your state" to find out what your children will be taught if they are in the public schools.

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
