Following recent revelations that a Planned Parenthood youth site has been promoting pornography to teenagers, three House representatives have called for the termination of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding, Cybercast News Service reports.
A 2007 article on the Planned Parenthood-sponsored Teenwire.com website advised pornography use as a “lower-risk form of outercourse.” "Many couples can read or watch sexy stories or pictures together," the article stated. "They can also share or act out sex fantasies.”
Another advice piece, “Porn vs. Reality,” noted that it is against federal law for anyone under 18 to view pornography. The article then says “however, not everyone follows the rules, and you may run across some porn before you turn 18.” The also article said that many people enjoy pornography “alone or with a partner.” It continued, “People have different ideas of what is arousing, and there are many different kinds of porn that appeal to people's different interests."
Three House Republicans spoke to Cybercast News Service after reviewing the materials from Teenwire.com.
