The War on Truth, Reality, and Common Sense

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer touches on the most egregious moral outrages from the past week. Leading the week in repugnancy is credited to Planned Parenthood with its release of a new “educational video” targeting children entitled “What is Virginity?” Right at the top, a teacher is seen telling her class that the word virginity “is a completely made-up concept,” intended to control and shame people for losing it. And the primary target is…You guessed it: Women! Bauer says the nausea-inducing muck gets worse from there, and sums up the film’s message to kids: Sex isn’t dangerous or shameful. Rather, it feels good, and it’s fun. Just do it! Next up is President Joe Biden’s wars and rumors thereof.

Planned Parenthood Attacks Virginity

Planned Parenthood recently released a video aimed at our kids called, "What is Virginity?" An apparent "teacher" begins, "Virginity. What is it, and what's the big deal about losing it? Let me cut to the chase. Virginity is a completely made-up concept. It's a term that was created simply to control and shame people—mainly women. Mmm."
