So a national study says what politically incorrect types like Miriam Grossman and Elayne Bennett have been saying for years: kids are having sex and getting sick, and passing out condoms isn’t going to solve the problem.

Specifically, the study says that one in four girls has a sexually transmitted disease.

The New York Times highlights this from the study:

The two most common sexually transmitted diseases, or S.T.D.’s, among all the participants tested were HPV, at 18 percent, and chlamydia, at 4 percent, according to the analysis, part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Each disease can be serious in its own way. HPV, for example, can cause cancer and genital warts.

The Planned Parenthood’s response (also via the Times)?

The president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Cecile Richards [daughter of the late Texas governor, Ann], said the new findings “emphasize the need for real comprehensive sex education.”
“The national policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion failure,” Ms. Richards said, “and teenage girls are paying the real price.”

A big problem with that? The Times also tells us that:

The agency noted that condoms seemed less effective against genital herpes and syphilis. Protection against human papillomavirus “is partial at best,” the report said.

So, Ms. Richards wants us to believe HPV — the disease that comes up most frequently in this study — simply cannot be prevented, that we should forget about the one actual preventive measure? We should reject the one solution that offers a more comprehensive approach to prevention of any STD — one that allows parents/clergy/educators/doctors to actually address the whole human person, teaching self-respect (a sure-fire alternative to self-destructive behavior).

When will we call Planned Parenthood on its reckless disregard for men, women, and children, and simple common sense?
