The Sex Peddlers: IPPF's Work Among the Youth
By Magaly Llaguno and Adolfo J. Castañeda



Introduction

The main motivation of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in getting involved in sex education is, in our opinion, money and ideological power. Contraception, sterilization and abortion are the merchandise IPPF wants to sell, the rest is marketing -- or as IPPF euphemistically calls it: "sex education". IPPF promotes its hedonistic sex-promoting "teachings" in programs euphemistically called "adolescent health education", "education on sexuality", "sexual health education", "reproductive health", "family life education", "contraceptive education", "population education" and even "HIV/AIDS prevention".1

Now, since the "market" in the so-called "developed" countries has already "maxed out", IPPF must seek "new frontiers" where there is money to be made. So, what better "frontier" than the developing world? And what better way to market these "products" than to promote sex?

Thus the objective of IPPF so-called sex "education" programs is to create the "need" for contraceptives by subtly (or not so subtly), promoting sex among the most vulnerable and impulsive sector of society: adolescents. But, ¿how does IPPF accomplish this objective? It does so by means of several strategies.

But before we look at those strategies, it is necessary to know something about IPPF's sex "education" in Latin America, the continent we shall concentrate on for the most part in this article.

Sex "Education" or Sex Indoctrination?

It is important to understand that IPPF's sex "education" was formulated in the "developed" countries, specially in the U.S., and then exported into the developing countries, such as Latin America.

It is also important to understand that such sex "education" has been a monumental failure wherever it has been implemented. Instead of preventing pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted diseases among teens, these problems have increased precisely since these programs started. We won't dwell on this subject here, since the main thrust of this article is to show how this sex indoctrination is being pushed by IPPF among the Latin American youth and, besides, there are several valuable sources which are filled with plenty of evidence about these facts.2 The following summary of the failure of sex "education" in the United States, since its inception in 1960, will be enough to warn the countries of Latin America and other developing nations about the same danger:

What we will do next is to present a comparison between some of the contents of the sex "education" programs in the United States (many of which, as we shall see, have been influenced by its IPPF affiliate there) and some of those of Colombia's National Sex Education Project. In this way, the similarity in sex ideology between the two programs will be evident.

Why the Colombian program? Because it is the typical program IPPF's affiliates are trying to have other Latin American governments to implement. Indeed, Colombia's IPPF affiliate, PROFAMILIA, was one of the Non Governmental Organizations (NGO) which developed Colombia's horrendous National Sex Education Project.4

Also, established in 1965, PROFAMILIA has been a huge "success" in the eyes of IPPF, the UN and other depopulationist organizations. Indeed, IPPF's magazine Integration had this to say about PROFAMILIA: "In 1988, PROFAMILIA received the prestigious United Nations Population Award in recognition of its innovative methods and its extension of effective family planning [i.e, contraceptives, abortifacient and sterilization] programs to population sectors too often excluded from modern services."5

But PROFAMILIA's "success" has not been confined to Colombia. Its demonic influence has spread to the rest of Latin America. The same article just cited quotes other IPPF writers who claim that PROFAMILIA is considered "a model of self-sufficiency for family planning organizations in Latin America".6

In the course of this article, after we compare the sex "education" in the United States with the one in Colombia, it will be evident that this type of sex indoctrination is not limited to Colombia and, moreover, that it is very similar to that of Colombia and the United States.

Let us present now the comparison. We shall proceed point by point:

1. Both programs claim that sex is mainly for pleasure and that pleasure justifies any type of sexual activity.

For example, Planned Parenthood of the State of Colorado, an organization which is affiliated to Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), which in turn is a member organization of IPPF\Western Hemisphere Region7, has a booklet titled The Great Orgasm Robbery,8 which is used in public schools. This booklet says: "Relax about loving, sex is fun and joyful, and courting is fun and joyful, and it comes in all types and styles, all of which are Okay. Do what gives you pleasure, and enjoy what gives you pleasure, and ask for what gives pleasure. Don't rob yourself of joy by focusing on old-fashioned ideas about what's normal or nice. Just communicate and enjoy!"9

Similarly, the book Creatividad ("Creativity"), from the Colombian National Sex Education Project, says: "Tradition and conventional morality are usually two great obstacles for the couple's creativity and intimacy";10 and "all sexual variations that an adult couple freely accepts...,seeking mutual satisfaction and pleasure, are considered normal".11 Another book, titled Reciprocidad ("Reciprocity"), which also belongs to the same Colombian program, claims that "no sexual relation in which affection is fostered is in itself reprehensible".12 Notice that marriage is not mentioned at all in these quotations.

2. Both programs are explicit and even pornographic in the way they present sex to children and teens.

Changing Bodies, Changing Lives is probably the most popular sex "education" textbook used in United States' public schools since its first edition appeared in 1980.13 One of its several authors worked for the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and several Planned Parenthood affiliates collaborated in its production.14 The book gives a detailed description of the sexual act and of sexual foreplay, which include "testimonies" from teenagers themselves!15 It also shows pictures of young people nude with full exposure of their genitalia.16

The book Responsabilidad ("Responsibility"), from the Colombian program, is also explicit in its description of the sexual act.17 Not only that, but several other books of this program contain pornographic pictures.18

In my opinion, these explicit depictions of sex follow IPPF's strategy of desensitizing teachers by robbing them of their modesty and decency, so that they in turn can pervert the minds of their students.

3. Both programs promote masturbation as something totally acceptable and even "beneficial".

Planned Parenthood promotes masturbation, among other sexual activities short of coitus, as a "safer sex" practice for teens.19

One of the books of the Colombian program, titled Diálogo ("Dialogue") promotes masturbation by euphemistically calling it "self-eroticism".20 In this book it is also claimed that "the term ‘to masturbate'... renders a negative connotation to this activity, a connotation which should be avoided"21 and that the condemnation of this practice comes from "the Judeo-Christian tradition and medical opinion already dismissed".22

4. Both programs promote homosexuality as something "normal".

For example, the brochure Ten Heavy Facts About Sex, written by sex "educator" Dr. Sol Gordon and used by most Planned Parenthood Centers in the United States,23 "asserts that adolescents should ‘choose the sexual life you want', with heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality as equivalent alternatives".24

It is disturbing to note that this brochure has been translated into Spanish and adapted to be used in Latin America, with the cooperation of the United Nations. (We will discuss this point in more detail further on with full documentation.)

Following the same corrupt ideology, the book Tolerancia ("Tolerance"), from the Colombian program, claims that homosexuality is just "another option of the private life" or one among "different alternatives of the sexual life".25 Doesn't that sound awfully similar to the homosexual euphemisms used in the United States and elsewhere in the first world?

But if you have not been deeply disturbed by now, read what comes next.

5. Both sex "education" programs tell kids about sex with animals and other sexual aberrations!

For example, the author of Boys and Sex, which is one of the most common sex "education" books used by public schools in the United States today,26 says the following: "I have known cases of farm boys who have had a loving sexual relationship with an animal and who felt good about their behavior until they got to college, where they learned for the first time that what they had done was ‘abnormal'. Then they were upset... Any of the farm animals may become a sexual object --ponies, calves, sheep, pigs, even chicken or ducks. Dogs are commonly used, but cats rarely'."27

Likewise, the book Conciencia Crítica ("Critical Conscience"), also from the Colombian program, talks about bestiality and sexual sadomasochism without condemning them either.28 Referring to sadomasochism, it proclaims: "In general, these painful stimulations are of a mild character and damages are infrequent".29 It also claims that in the past these practices were called "aberrations because of a manichean, pre-scientific mentality about what is good and bad".30

6. Both programs promote sex and contraception among children and teens.

It seems that both programs want children and teens to be thinking and talking about sex frequently, so that eventually they will want to practice it. Their objective is not that teens stop or avoid having sex, so that pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted diseases will be prevented; no, their objective seems to be that teens fall into a promiscuous life-style so that they will dutifully go to IPPF's centers to get contraceptives to "prevent" these problems. You see, IPPF doesn't make money out of chastity, but out of sex.

But in order to avoid the counter reactions to its devilish agenda, especially from parents, IPPF promotes its sex "education" ideology very shrewdly. Thus, for example, Planned Parenthood tells kids and teens to be "responsible", but what it really means is that they must use contraceptives when they have sex.31

Similarly, the book Responsabilidad ("Responsibility"), of the Colombian program, claims that "to recognize and to be always aware that a sexual relation (coitus) can result in pregnancy is the first step towards a responsible reproductive behavior; the second step is the adequate use of birth regulation methods".32

It is very difficult for a teen to choose chastity when, in addition to being exposed to pressures from his social environment, a sex "education" book tells him or her that it is "as respectable" to choose chastity as "not to choose it".33

7. Both programs seem to be inspired in the same perverse sexual ideology of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey.

The ideological foundation of the sex "education" programs that have been implemented in the public schools of the United States is Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey's "scientific studies" of the 1940's and 50's.34 Kinsey's fraudulent and unethical "investigations" of human sexuality (even to the point of sexually manipulating over 200 children!) have been exposed by several scientists in recent years.35 However, his sex ideology has been used by the "sexperts" and sex "educators" as the "bible" of sex "education", especially by the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) and Planned Parenthood.36 His ideas are precisely the ones we have exposed so far.37

The book Amor-Sexo ("Love-Sex"), from the Colombian program, cites Kinsey in detail and pontificates: "The most reliable statistical data on homosexuality continue to be those of Kinsey, because they are the most extensive and detailed, even though they were published over four decades ago."38 Also, Conciencia Crítica, another book from the Colombian program, which we referred to before, quite happily cites Kinsey's "studies" where it concerns bestiality and other aspects of sex "education" in the schools.39

8. Both programs exercise a monopoly of sex "education" on all children, from first grade on and thus effectively violate the right and duty of parents to be the first and foremost educators of their children.

Writing in 1988, Christian activist George Grant exposed with complete documentation this aspect of Planned Parenthood's sex "education" agenda by stating:

"With a passionate, evangelistic zeal and a shrewd entrepreneurial effectiveness, Planned Parenthood has translated its sordid sex business into a multi-million dollar monopoly: it publishes sex ed books, pamphlets, and curriculums; it develops model sex ed programs for communities, schools, and affiliates; it creates pre-service, in-service, and enrichment programs for sex ed trainers; it provides a national resource clearing house as a conduit for the dissemination of sex ed information and materials; it distributes journals, magazines, and newsletters to sex ed professionals; it catalogues and evaluates all available sex ed materials and publications; it produces films, videos, and advertisements that broadcast sex ed themes far and wide; it advocates unrestricted sex ed propagation -- kindergarten through twelfth grade -- through political lobbying and the courts; and it sends an army of sex ed speakers into schools, Churches, and public forums every day -- day in and day out. ...

"As a result, virtually every man, woman and child in America has been exposed to Planned Parenthood's luridly immoral notions of love, sex and intimacy. Almost seventy-five percent of the nations' school districts have institutionalized sex ed programs... It has done such a convincing job of selling its obscene services and products that, now, anyone who dares to question the value of Planned Parenthood's sex ed monopoly is immediately castigated as "some sort of unenlightened crank".40

The government of Colombia has gone further in that "[b]eginning in February 1997, with a compulsory character, educational centers across the country which offer formation programs at the primary, secondary and middle school levels, must begin the execution of their Pedagogic Projects of Sex Education, integrated into the Institutional Educational Project".41

Obviously both programs are flagrantly violating the right and duty of parents to be the first and foremost educators of their children.

We now turn to the strategies that IPPF affiliates in Latin America and other developing countries employ to establish their sex "education", or rather, sex indoctrination.

IPPF' Sex "Education" Strategies:

1. Using Youth To Pervert Youth

One of IPPF's sex "education" strategies, perhaps the most successful in the last few years, is to use its own target (adolescents) to accomplish its goals.

During the IPPF board of directors meeting February l994, a document presented by two IPPF officials discussed how to make "sex and contraception amusing and entertaining", in order to attract young people, through TV, radio, videos, theater, music, flyers, pamphlets, t-shirts, comic books, photonovelas, etc.42

IPPF has developed "multi service adolescent centers offering cultural, recreational, health and educational activities," in order to "attract young people who would not come to a strictly family planning facility". These centers exist in a number of countries (specially developing nations) and, of course, also in the U.S.43

But if the adolescents do not come to IPPF's centers, IPPF brings the centers to them, i.e., its sex-"ed" and contraceptives. How? IPPF "trains" and uses young people in developing countries to find youth where they normally spend their time (school, work, on the streets) and involves them in promoting and distributing contraceptives and condoms to their peers.44 IPPF calls these young people "promotores", "youth promoters", "peer promoters", "community based youth volunteers", "youth multipliers", "youth educators" or "peer counselors".45

IPPF has also started "Under 20 Clubs" in a number of countries.46 In their "Under 20" radio programs, IPPF trained youth discuss sexuality with their peers, giving them, of course, IPPF's hedonistic sex "education".47 The primary purposes of these radio programs are "encouraging teenagers to make use of the family planning associations' services and involving them in programs for teenagers".48 The programs also "encourage them to visit the association and join the Under 20 Club".49 Indeed, IPPF boasts that through these clubs "teenagers are attracted to family planning centers with the prospect that they will find a fun club atmosphere along with a special understanding of teenage needs and problems."50 Through these radio programs and clubs, IPPF also gets the youth to participate in the production of "family planning" films and videos.51 Thus IPPF is having a field day by using to the maximum these unsuspecting young victims -- and it is corrupting them in the process, too!

The euphemistically named Colombian Family Welfare Association (PROFAMILIA) is IPPF's most successful affiliate in Latin America.52 It also has a very "effective" youth program which has proven "successful" in Mexico and elsewhere, too.53 Young people called "multiplicadores" (multipliers) or sex "education" peer teachers, share the message of a so-called "responsible sexuality", (which is IPPF jargon for the use of contraceptives when teens have sex), among their peers at school and in their neighborhoods. The program is geared to teens aged l3-l9 and it also involves teacher training.54

The Mexican Family Planning Foundation (MEXFAM), IPPF's affiliate in that country, has a sex "education" program called "Gente Joven" (meaning "young people") -- a name perhaps chosen because of its similarity to the one the Legionnaires of Christ have, "Gente Nueva".55 This program starts with 9 year olds.56 "Some of [the materials], including printed and audiovisual materials, were produced in cooperation with the Japanese Organization for International Cooperation (JOICFP)",57 IPPF's international outreach affiliate in Japan.58 In 9 years, over one million people in Mexico were reached through this program.59

The Costa Rican Demographic Association, IPPF's affiliate in that country, started by training 20 High school teachers in l98l, by l986 it had already trained 400, who reached l2,000 students.60

In the Dominican Republic, as of l99l, 3,000 students had been "trained" as "multipliers" and over ll4,000 students received this "instruction". Another 950 "multipliers" instructed 25,000 students in 42 participating schools. Every year, two students from the sophomore class in each High school, are trained as "multipliers". The Dominican family planning association (also called PROFAMILIA), IPPF's affiliate in that country, is the one responsible for this huge "success". Not only that, PROFAMILIA has persuaded officials from the Ministry of Education to use its curriculum and method of teen "multipliers" throughout the school system.61 This is IPPF's sex-promoting sex-"education" at its "best"!

2. The Demonic Connection

Another strategy that IPPF uses to promote its sex "education" is to collaborate with other organizations and individuals of similar ideology.

For example, for years Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), IPPF's U.S. affiliate, collaborated with "a group of sex educators, sexologists, and counselors whose essential leader was [Dr. Sol] Gordon".62 Dr. Gordon was a professor at Syracuse University who founded the Institute for Family Research and Education (IFRE) in 1970.63 Despite its seemingly innocuous name, IFRE has been very active promoting contraceptive sex "education" programs among adolescents.64 It is also one the most prolific sources of sex "education" materials, especially those utilized by PPFA.65

One of the most well known IFRE's materials is Ten Heavy Facts About Sex, published in 1971.66 In this comic book it is claimed, among other perversities, that sexual fantasies "are normal"; that "masturbation is a normal expression for sex", and so one should "enjoy it"; that adolescents should "choose the sexual life you want" (heterosexuality, homosexuality or bisexuality); and that "pornography is harmless".67 The comic also discusses pills, condoms and other contraceptives for "boys and girls".68 Besides being used and promoted by PPFA, the 1972 reprint of Ten Heavy Facts About Sex was also endorsed and utilized by the Sex Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS).69

Since its inception in 1964, SIECUS and PPFA have had a lot of things in common: "philosophy", social engineering agenda and personnel.70 In fact, the first executive director of SIECUS was Dr. Mary Calderone, a "sexual evangelist" who had been medical director of PPFA.71 Both organizations began to collaborate successfully in 1970 to push immoral sex "education" programs in the U.S.72 They got the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to endorse and finance its sex education materials and programs.73 HEW even recommended Ten Heavy Facts About Sex, as it did other obscene sex "education" materials.74

Ten Heavy Facts About Sex was translated into Spanish and published in 1979.75 It is being distributed in Latin America by the Guatemalan Association of Sex Education (AGES), which appears to collaborate with the Association for Family Welfare of Guatemala (APROFAM), IPPF's affiliate in that country.76 The first Spanish edition of this comic was sponsored by the Regional Committee of Sex Education for Latin America and the Caribbean (CRESALC),77 which is the Latin American sex education branch of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).78

IPPF also collaborates with the United Nation's Children Fund (UNICEF), which uses pornographic sex education programs.79 "The programs were purchased from the Japanese Organization for International Cooperation in Family Planning (JOICFP)",80 which is IPPF's Japan's international affiliate.81 "The films, produced by JOICFP and MEXFAM, the Mexican IPPF affiliate, are titled 'The Blue Pigeon' and 'Music for Two'."82 Both films graphically depict sexual intercourse between adolescents and young unmarried people.83

3. Mixing the Good with the Bad and the Ugly

Another strategy that IPPF uses very effectively is what we could call the "strategy of inclusion". It consists in disguising sex "education" propaganda by mixing it with good services. In this way IPPF affiliates gain public respectability and are thus able to promote their programs.

This type of "marketing" is sometimes called "Integrated Project" (IP). For example, IPPF's Mexican affiliate (MEXFAM), "has developed the IP in two main directions: parasite control (PC) and other preventive health activities as an entry point for family planning (FP) promotion, and the activities of the Gente Joven [Young People] program".84

The Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia (PPAZ), IPPF's affiliate in that country, spent 22 years trying to promote "family planning" (contraception). But, according to PPAZ itself, although 90% of the Zambianese knew about "family planning", less than 15% practiced it. PPAZ then adopted the "integrated project" strategy. And now they claim: "So, we have now decided on a new approach which is based on integrating family planning services into a comprehensive package -- the supermarket approach."85

The frightening thing about this "integrated approach" is that it is not a momentary strategy, but as the PPAZ itself claims: "We have to ensure that this approach becomes a way of life".86

4. Good-Will Donations and Bad-Will Deceptions in the Land of the Rising Sun

How do IPPF affiliates in Latin America and in other developing countries get a big chunk of their funds? The answer also lies in this same "integrated approach" strategy we have been exposing so far and it comes from (surprise!) Japan.

Indeed, the "integrated project" strategy was developed by the powerful Japanese Organization for International Cooperation in Family Planning (JOICFP) IPPF collaborator, not only as a means of promoting sex "education", but also as a means of making a profit in order to achieve economic "self-reliance".87

IPPF has a great gimmick in Japan, which started in l991: the Postal Savings for International Voluntary Aid (POSIVA) program, which is administered by the Ministry of Posts and Communications.88 Funds are collected at post offices nationwide, from members holding special POSIVA savings accounts who donate 20% of the interest on their savings.89

Supposedly, the money goes to help developing countries. But the funds are channeled to non-governmental organizations (NGO's) in these countries, who work in collaboration with Japanese NGO's, mainly, guess who?, you got it: JOICFP.90 JOICFP in turn collaborates with the IPPF's affiliates or other "family planning" groups in those countries like, for example, Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Honduras.91

JOICFP boldly calls the program "a scheme" and flaunts its "success". Indeed, it claims: "This epoch making donation scheme to involve the Japanese public in international cooperation activities, has continued to grow steadily".92 It attracted l8.28 million account holders as of August, l995, the equivalent of one of every seven Japanese holding these savings accounts.93 The donors range from small children to elderly people.94 It is a great tragedy that the good will of these people to help the poor is being exploited.

But JOICFP not only provides economic aid to its sex-peddler allies, it also provides them with "educational" materials. In order to promote sex and create the "need" for contraception and abortion, as we have already pointed out, IPPF first destroys any modesty or inhibitions that its future clients might have. IPPF "desensitizes" the teachers first, then the students, by showing them sexually explicit films such as "The Blue Pidgeon" and "Music for Two". These two videos were jointly produced by JOICEP and MEXFAM, IPPF's affiliate in Mexico, and they have "tested" their "effectiveness" in Latin America and the Philippines. These videos are pornographic, yet they are probably being shown to children 9 years old and up!95

Writing for IPPF, Carolina S. Mariano and Rowena O. Alvarez have no qualms in describing "The Blue Pigeon" as a video that "is focused on the sexual changes that take place in the minds and bodies of teen-aged boys and girls. It graphically explains the processes of sexual intercourse, contraception, pregnancy and childbirth".96 Then, with the same straight face, they go on to describe the other video: "'Music for Two' features a girl in pursuit of true love who imagines a variety of male-female relationships. It presents conditions necessary for healthy sexual relationships and activities".97

These two films were shown to adolescents in the Philippines. These uniformed children attended this "showing" at Balara Academy High school in Quezon City, Philippines. They were between l5 and l7 years old. Here are some typical reactions as reported in IPPF's magazine Integration:

"When the film showed the couple having sexual intercourse, these senior students were obviously uneasy, some closed their eyes, others moved incessantly, and several of them shifted their attention to other things and engaged in small chat among themselves."98

Here is another reaction:

"When Martin [the main character] was naked, and the ... [sexual excitement] was clearly demonstrated, the audience became uncomfortable... Many gasped in dismay... some were embarrassed, others were perplexed."99

These adolescents, according to the report in IPPF's magazine, were relieved and became attentive again "when there was a sharp turn in the story from [the] sexual process to the presentation of the conception, pregnancy and childbirth process. By this time the viewers again began showing interest in watching these films".100

In my opinion, showing adolescents such films is the equivalent of a psychological rape. One of the students said that the film "will only arouse sexual feelings in them and may even lead them to think or do lustful and lascivious acts".101 What he didn't know is that this is precisely what IPPF needs to do, in order to increase the number of clients and thus the sale of its products.

The following warning from Our Lord comes to mind: "Anyone who welcomes a little child in my name welcomes me. But anyone who is an obstacle to bring down one of these little ones who have faith in me would be better drowned in the depths of the sea with a great millstone around his neck."102

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, certainly this is true where it concerns the abortion issue. But it is my belief that the gravity of what IPPF is doing to the youth in developing countries can only be surmised by seeing some footage from the films it is using. They are graphic and obscene, yet they are being shown to children.

These are, then, some of the strategies that IPPF uses to implement its horrendous sex "education" on our youth. Is there something we can do to stop it?

What Can We Do?

We can fight IPPF's sex promoting sex–education and win! In Mexico, many parents have become aware of these programs, which have been stopped in several states. In Chile, the local IPPF affiliate was involved in a Catholic High school, until we denounced IPPF during the congress we organized in that country. As more people become aware of what IPPF is all about and what it is doing to pervert the children in so many nations, more successes will follow.

We must expose IPPF, its philosophy, its programs and its objectives. IPPF calls prostitutes "sex workers", I think we ought to call IPPF "the sex peddler".

We must encourage the formation of parental rights groups that can monitor and oppose any hedonistic sex "education" program in both public and private schools. There is an urgent need in every country to check the books, to find out what training courses are being offered to the teachers and what organizations are having an input into the curriculums. IPPF and its cohorts are far more advanced in this area than we think.

We must also encourage the formation of "crusaders for chastity", young people who will go to their peers after having received moral and Christian formation, in order to teach them about the value of God's gift of sexuality, and its real purpose, according to God's plan.

Finally, and above all, we need to pray for wisdom, charity and strength, for this is a battle not only for the right to life of unborn children, but also for the very souls of the children and youth of the world.
