Surprise, Surprise — Planned Parenthood Gave Children Explicit Coloring Books

Caution: the following includes examples of crude and graphic references to sex.
Planned Parenthood is “no longer welcome” at an interactive science museum in Kentucky after it distributed explicit coloring books to children last week.
No one should be surprised.
More than 400 elementary and middle school students reportedly attended Health & Wellness Days at the Kentucky Science Center (KSC) last Wednesday, where Planned Parenthood distributed an “adult-oriented” coloring book featuring:
- Coloring pages with cartoon genitalia and contraception.
- A wordsearch for genitalia, contraception and terms like “pleasure” and “safe sex.”
- A page of “sexlibs” with fill-in-the-blanks like, “My favorite brand and style of condoms is _________ and _________.”
The KSC apologized for the book’s distribution on Facebook, explaining, “Planned Parenthood provided this material without our consent, and it does not reflect our policies or the intended content for this event.”
“This partner is no longer welcome at the Science Center,” the post concluded.
Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK) strenuously and categorically denied handing out the explicit book — for about a day.
“We want to be clear: the coloring book currently being circulated online was not distributed at the event,” Jennifer Allen, PPGNHAIK’s director of external affairs, wrote on Wednesday, calling the allegations “part of a coordinated attempt to stir outrage and manufacture controversy.”
“Our materials used at events are age-appropriate, medically accurate, aligned with national standards and only used with appropriate audiences,” she claimed.
Allen halfheartedly corrected her emphatic denials on Thursday, acknowledging a staffer “inadvertently distributed an item that would not typically be used in a setting like this event.”
“While all material at the event was medically accurate, we apologize for this error and are reviewing our internal protocols,” she wrote.
I don’t know how “medically accurate” sexlibs can be, but I digress.
Allen carefully refused to call the coloring book inappropriate — a shrewd move considering Planned Parenthood distributes similarly graphic “resources” to kids every day online, in school and through social media.
Planned Parenthood promotes comprehensive sex education (CSE) — “rights-based” and “pleasure-based” curricula founded on the idea that children can consent to sexual activity. The International Planned Parenthood Federation, Planned Parenthood’s global non-profit, neatly summarizes:
Planned Parenthood and its allies helped create nearly all CSE curriculum taught in schools today, including a government-funded high school program called Get Real: Comprehensive Sex Education That Works.
An analysis of Get Real by Stop CSE, an online database cataloguing unproductive sex-ed curricula, found it contained 15 of 15 “harmful [CSE] elements” including:
- Sexualizing children by “normalizing child sex or desensitizing children to sexual things.”
- Teaching children to consent to sex.
- Promoting premature sexual autonomy.
- Promoting contraception and/or abortion to children.
- Promoting gender ideology.
- Promoting anal and oral sex.
Stop CSE writes scathingly:
Get Real and other CSE programs often refer kids to Planned Parenthood’s website for more information. Its sex-ed page for teens includes free resources like:
- Explicit, detailed descriptions of oral, vaginal and anal sex.
- Suggestions to make painful sex more pleasurable.
- An “All About Sex” page with a drop-down section describing different sex toys.
- Misleading videos denying biological realities, like this one saying virginity “is complicated and really up to you to decide what you believe.”
The materials, ostensibly meant for teens, link to other Planned Parenthood pages like:
- This page on “Sex and Pleasure”, which lists different kinds of sexual acts people might find pleasurable, like “sexting” and “reading or watching porn.”
- This page on sex toys, which lists nine different kinds, describes their functions in great detail and explains how they validate people with gender confusion.
- This page on orgasms, which describes them as releasing endorphins that might make you feel “sleepy, relaxed and happy afterwards.”
Similar information is available on Planned Parenthood’s social media pages. Posts are frequently emblazoned with the same cartoon pornography found in the coloring book PPGNHAIK gave to kids in Kentucky.
PPGNHAIK’s Instagram page includes posts with cartoon condoms and sex toys.
“Masturbation is normal — and it’s a great way for you to learn what you enjoy,” one post reads. “It also has benefits for mental and physical health.”
As bad as that is, Planned Parenthood’s main Instagram page is exponentially worse. Posts include “how to” guides for risky sexual behaviors, crude and explicit innuendo and pornographic illustrations.
So, Planned Parenthood’s dissemination of an explicit coloring book to kids, while horrifying, is decidedly not surprising. Planned Parenthoods peddles explicit materials to children all day, every day.
Kids that engage in premature sexual conduct inevitably need birth control, STD screenings and treatment and, according to Planned Parenthood, abortions — all the services that keep it powerful and profitable.
