Planned Parenthood campaign attacks virginity, claims it's a 'completely made-up concept'

Planned Parenthood may be best known for butchering the unborn and helping to sterilize minors — as its eugenicist founder intended — but a big part of its focus in recent years has been the distribution of leftist propaganda, both in the classroom and online.

Apparently aware that its abattoirs and STD clinics are of little use to those saving themselves for marriage, Planned Parenthood has attacked virginity in its latest propaganda campaign.

"Virginity is a completely made-up concept," a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman said in a video published on YouTube Wednesday. "It's a term that was created simply to control and shame people."

While the video claims that the concept of virginity is "not as simple as it seems," up until this week, a virgin was simply understood to be a person who had not had sexual intercourse. Virginity, in turn, was the quality or state of being virgin.

Where the English language is concerned, the specific term "virgin" has been used in reference to a "young woman in a state of inviolate chastity" and a "chaste man" since at least the Middle Ages, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. In the millennia prior, Latin speakers used "virginem" to refer to a "maiden, unwedded girl or woman."

Planned Parenthood stated as a "fact" in a corresponding blog post that "virginity is a social and cultural concept that is more important in some cultures and religions than in others. Many times, virginity has to do with a person being 'pure', and this idea of purity is often used to control and shame people — mainly women."

While cast by Planned Parenthood as a means to control women, virginity appears to be an effective way for both sexes to avoid a life controlled by debilitating sexually transmitted diseases and chronic sores.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's latest "Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance" report, there were well over 2.5 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis in 2021. Syphilis rates skyrocketed 74% over a five-year period. There were nearly 3,000 congenital syphilis cases, which claimed the lives of 220 babies.

There were also an estimated 32,100 new HIV infections in the U.S. in 2021, 70% of which were among non-straight men "who reported male-to-male sexual contact."

Things apparently did not improve among non-virgins in 2022, which saw 1.6 million cases of chlamydia; 648,056 cases of gonorrhea; and 207,255 cases of syphilis.

Planned Parenthood's campaign against virginity leans heavily on relativistic thinking.

"It's super important to remember that sex means different things to different people," Planned Parenthood claimed in its blog post. "If we only think about sex as penis going into vagina, we leave out a lot of people and a lot of experiences. At the end of the day, you get to say what 'having sex for the first time' means to you."

The abortion group expanded on the need to relativize the term and sever the concept of sex from the procreative act between a man and a woman: "Society tends to define sex is a very narrow way: penetration. Penis into vagina. But where does that definition leave queer people? Or folks who can't or don't have penis-in-vagina sex?"

Planned Parenthood stressed that society should altogether reframe the issue, focusing not on prospective clients' loss of innocence from acts of fornication but on the "empowerment" sex supposedly entails.

"It's time to throw away the notion of losing your virginity," added the spokeswoman."When we make our own decision to become sexually active, we aren't setting ourselves up to lose anything at all."

This is not the first time that Planned Parenthood has attacked the concept of virginity. Last year, the abortion outfit apparently ran billboards stating, "Virginity is a social construct."

In a corresponding social media post the abortion outfit claimed, "Virginity comes from outdated — let's be real, patriarchal— ways of thinking that hurts everyone."
