VALLEJO, California (28 July 2008) – In its latest venture in marketing sex to children, Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion chain, will pass out birth control and materials about sexually transmitted disease at "Vallejo Celebrates Youth," a children's health and wellness event in Vallejo, California Aug. 2.
The event, sponsored by the Greater Vallejo Recreational District, will feature face painting; a magic show; and booths on childhood obesity, literacy, oral hygiene, second-hand smoke and birth control.
"By its presence at this event, Planned Parenthood is providing even more evidence that it is out to get your kids," said Marie Hahnenberg, a researcher with American Life League. "Last year, it received over $356 million in clinic income, and now it's out to make even more money by getting kids hooked on sex so it can get more customers – through its pornographic teen web sites, passing out sex-saturated reading materials and giving condoms to elementary students."
Kaiser Permanente, a health care group known for its support of Planned Parenthood's radical agenda, will also participate in this event – scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Children's Wonderland playground in Vallejo.
"We encourage people across the country, especially those in the Vallejo area, to call Shane McAffee at the Greater Vallejo Recreation District at 707-648-4603 or e-mail him at

, and demand he reverse his decision to allow Planned Parenthood's participation in this children's event," Hahnenberg said.
American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to death.
