It couldn’t be that it’s trying to drum up more abortion business, could it? Nah, that would be…unethical. Unless, of course, one likes abortions.

Watch, if you have the stomach for it, that video above, which Planned Parenthood promoted this way:

Nice! No big deal! The whole notion of virginity was a very effective moral governor to minimize unwanted and out of wedlock pregnancies, especially teen pregnancies, that would otherwise create serious societal problems. The concept that it is irresponsible—you, know, as in unethical?—to bring nascent human lives into the world before one is in a committed familial relationship is still valid, and thus, contrary to what the cheery lecturer above tells us, shame is a valid and useful social tool. Creating such unwanted lives is wrong, and courting the risk of doing so is also wrong, leading to the popularity of a greater wrong, killing that innocent life, or abortion. Planned Parenthood celebrates abortion, which is the only explanation I can come up with to explain why the organization wants to weaponize Rationalization #64, “It isn’t what it is,” as well as the always popular ideologue’s tool of confounding the English language, to erase “virginity” as a word, as a concept, and as value. Many people in the United States as well as the world still embrace the idea of being sexually abstinent until marriage, but Planned Parenthood seems to feel it is part of its mission to eradicate that—odd, since “planned parenthood” should, I would think, mean not having children until one is married.

It’s “time to throw away the notion of losing your virginity,” is the video’s message. What is virginity anyway? “All of these myths around sex and virginity can be so hurtful and overwhelming,” teens and virgins are informed in the video. “But here’s the one truth you should remember. Sex is defined by one thing and one thing only, you.” Ah yes, “your truth.” “Maybe that’s being fingered for the first time. Maybe it’s having anal sex. Maybe it’s having your first orgasm. Maybe it’s masturbating for the first time or when you enthusiastically consent to sex.”

Oh! I get it! There’s no such thing as “virginity,” because only you can decide when you lose it! Maybe it was the first time you kissed someone! Maybe it was the first time you saw a movie that made you horny! So if you’ve already lost whatever it is that virginity is, why not have promiscuous sex and constant “hook-ups”? After all, if an “accident” occurs, you can always go to Planned Parenthood for an abortion.” “That’s the beauty of your sexual journey.”

I have an idea: why can’t your “truth” be that you are still a virgin as long as you don’t care about the people they have sex with? That would mean rape victims could still be technically virgins. Brilliant!

I’m a bit surprised that PP too so long to come up with the idea of eviscerating the concept that costs them business. Bill Clinton was allowed to redefine a oral sex as not real sex as part of many his spinning defenses when he was exposed as taking lurid favors from a White House intern. This, you may recall, led to a cultural shift among U.S. teens, who could cite a President of the United States as the authority for the proposition that giving or accepting blow-jobs wasn’t really sex, or, as they put it in the Arkansas boonies when young Bill was growing up, “Eatin’ ain’t cheatin’!”

The video is especially clever because it includes some valid and important points mixed in among the pro-sex propaganda. “There is also a double standard on who carries the burden of virginity. Society puts pressure on men for not having sex at the exact same time, they shame women for having it,” for example, is a destructive double standard, but the ethical remedy for that is to insist that males accept equal responsibility for irresponsible sex in uncommitted relationships, not, as the video concludes, for women to become as irresponsible as men.

But as long as abortions are as readily available as haircuts, why not? And that’s the apparent goal of Planned Parenthood.
