Hard News Planned Parenthood ... the reason for the government shut down?
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 4:04 PM
It seems that our government wants to get between our legs ... or at least control who goes down there.
The GOP wants to defund Planned Parenthood and the Democrats won't back down on continuing to fund the program [and they shouldn't].
“Republicans want to shut down our nation’s government because they want to make it harder for women to get the health services they need,” Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the floor Friday. “This is indefensible and everyone should be outraged — men and women should be outraged.”Both sides have gone to the mat over the issue, with pro-lifers arguing that Planned Parenthood is an abortion factory and pro-choicers pointing to the health-care aspects of Planned Parenthood’s mission.
These are the same people who you find protesting outside of abortion clinics without knowing why a woman has made this decision. These are the same people who don't know that Planned Parenthood is often the only medical help a woman can afford.
The group, which receives approximately $350 million in federal funding annually, has been advertising extensively about its good works. In a new video, actress Scarlett Johansson makes the case for Planned Parenthood’s importance. To Johansson, it is all about women’s health.“A cancer that goes undetected, a sexually transmitted disease left untreated, a woman unable to get the birth control she needs to plan her family and take control of her own destiny,” she says. “This is the disastrous vision of some leaders in the United States House of Representatives,” she charges, citing the millions of women who get health care from the group.
Maybe the government should look at what's really wrong with this nation — three wars and massive debt should keep them busy ... while women get an annual pelvic exam.

feature What's former madam Sallie Saxon doing now? Protesting abortion and praising Jesus ...
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 1:45 PM
In 2007, Sallie Saxon was dubbed the "South Park Madam" when her multimillion dollar prostitution ring came crashing down. Saxton spent two years in prison, but she's back — this time, however, she's not selling flesh, she's all about Jesus. On her website www.salliesaxon.com, she says:
While in prison the Lord created an amazing opportunity to mentor inmates. I would go to the chapel daily and waited for the Lord to send those in need of prayer. Before long there was a waiting list of hurt women seeking prayer. I talked with each individually about their life, mistakes, families, future plans and especially where they were spiritually. All of these women had one thing in common; abortion and the inability to forgive themselves. Not until they accepted the Lord Jesus Christ experiencing forgiveness could they forgive themselves. How blessed I have been to see many hardened women become Christians and baptized in prison. I continue to share passionately the unconditional love, forgiveness and hope only the Lord Jesus Christ can give all of us.
Kudos to Saxon for finding her salvation, but why has she decided to use her second chance to pester other women?
Saxon was featured in The Charlotte Observer protesting outside of an abortion clinic.
"It is very unsettling out here," Saxon conceded.Yes, she said, some of her prostitutes had abortions.
No, she didn't help them.
Yes, she condoned it.
"I felt," she said, "like it was a woman's choice."
She said God changed her mind.
God or a prison sentence. It's great to see a madam given a second chance, but it's kind of hypocritical for her to jump in the way of a woman's right to choose. Most of these protesters are lining up to adopt the babies they "save" from abortion.
Abortion is a decision best made between a woman and her doctor, her family and her faith, said Melissa Reed of Planned Parenthood Health Systems, which runs a health center in Charlotte where a woman can get an abortion."It's unconscionable," Reed said about the protests by anti-abortionists. "They don't know the reason a woman took that step. They don't know if that woman was raped, or if she had wanted a pregnancy that went wrong. Women should be able to access those services without fear, intimidation and harassment."
And speaking of fear, many in this city are still afraid that Saxon will reveal the contents of her little black book. Rumors have run rampant for years about the names of the men who used the service.
But Saxon isn't talking about that, according to The Observer. But, things could always change. We'll wait.

Hard News Teen sex numbers falling — except in North Carolina
Posted By Mustang Sally, Mayor of Bang Town on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 1:50 PM
Here's some good news about teens and sex: Many more young men and women between the ages of 15-24 aren't doing the do.
Now, here's the bad news: they aren't from North Carolina.
A study by the Center for Disease Control said teens and young adults are having less sex, but North Carolina may be an exception to the findings.
"Surveys display what they want you to see. In the state of North Carolina, if you work in the Department of Health and Human Services, you will see that's not the case," said Michele Martin, the women and youth education coordinator for the Western North Carolina AIDS Project.The survey interviewed 5,300 teens and young adults between the ages of 15 and 24 across the U.S. and asked them questions about their sex life. The results showed between 2002 and 2009, 28 percent reported never having any sexual contact, including vaginal, oral or anal sex, which is an increase in abstinence from the 2002 result of 22 percent.
Martin said the results from the national survey did not match up with other statistics specifically about the sexual activity of young people in North Carolina.
"If you look at 2009 statistics, you'll see that there were 15,000 cases between the ages of 15 and 19 of chlamydia and there were 16,000 between 20 and 24. Those numbers only went up in 2010. Two-thirds of all chlamydia cases were between the ages of 15 and 24," Martin said.
North Carolina has the ninth highest teen pregnancy rate in the U.S., according to statistics by the Healthy Youth Act, as well as having 67 percent of all sexual transmitted diseases reported in North Carolina were between the ages of 15 and 24.
The Healthy Youth Act was approved by Congress in 2009 and went into effect for the 2010-11 school year. The act requires students in grades 7-9 receive an education on abstinence, as well as a comprehensive sexuality education, unless their parents personally remove them from the program.
Still think that abstinence-only education works?
According to Martin, if people try to be more honest, open and communicate with each other about sex, preventing teen pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases will be easier and more effective.
