WSR: 2026-06-17

Leave it to Planned Parenthood to take something ordinary and sexualize it. This time, it’s the FIFA World Cup. 

Planned Parenthood Great Plains announced that ahead of the World Cup games held in Kansas City, MO, it will distribute free “safer-sex kits” to attendees of the soccer games. 

PP had volunteers gather at an LGBT community center to assemble the free kits. They plan to distribute them to World Cup attendees at the games and at a gay pride event in Kansas City. 

The same grotesque gimmick will play out in Toronto, Canada, as the city’s public health department will distribute soccer-themed condoms during the World Cup games held there.

This follows PP’s long trend of taking ordinary and family friendly events and sexualizing them. In 2023, STOPP released the Planned Parenthood “Hall of Shame,” which detailed five of their worst “gimmicks” of all time. The list included:

  1. Abortion Gift Cards 
    Planned Parenthood’s tasteless gift certificates first surfaced during the 2008 Christmas season. The abortion conglomerate’s then head, Cecile Richards, praised the Indiana affiliate for promoting this “meaningful gift.” When the campaign again surfaced at Christmastime in 2014, one commentator observed the irony of giving “the gift” of abortion at a holiday that celebrates the birth of an infant—the Christ Child. 
  2. Vibrator Easter Egg Hunt
    Finding yet another way to profane a sacred holiday, the abortion corporation’s Dallas affiliate parodied a classic children’s event with a 2019 vibrator Easter egg hunt, hiding sex toys in lieu of colorful dyed eggs.
  3. Sex Toy Fundraisers
    From the Cornell University campus to the Rocky Mountains, Planned Parenthood is engaged in fundraising with sales of sex toys. The abortion vendor partnered with a sex paraphernalia producer, advertising products on social media accounts. “Having a partner like Vibrant is critical to our future,” said Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
  4. Ice Cream Condom Truck
    Planned Parenthood Federation of America head Alexis McGill Johnson helped earn her $683,697 annual compensation [at the time] from the abortion empire by tweeting out a call to visit the ice cream condom truck at the Austin, Texas, South by Southwest Film Festival. While one respondent labeled it “ironic that an organization dedicated to killing children is using as a tool something kids love,” another just said, “gross.”
  5. 9/11 Abortions for Free
    While others responded to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 with compassion and acts of heroism, Planned Parenthood of New York City jumped into the tragedy to offer free abortions the week following the collapse of the World Trade Center’s twin towers and the surrounding horrific events.

Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced in its email newsletter and blog post that it has made the decision to disband its education department. PPMI cited the “barrage of attacks from the Trump administration,” namely, the temporary defunding of federal Medicaid reimbursements and Title X funding as the reason for this decision.

Paula Thornton Greear, CEO of PPMI, announced that the affiliate sought multiple ways to receive more funding, including pleading with Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer for a $5 million grant in May. However, the affiliate has not received more funding and alleges that it is experiencing a $5.2 million loss in revenue for FY 2026.

Greear continued to thank the 11 staff members in this department for all of their “work building youth and adult peer education programs, parent and community workshops, school partnerships, LGBTQ-specific sexual health education, professional trainings, and community programming throughout Michigan.” 

For decades, STOPP has reported on Planned Parenthood’s numerous events, resources, and videos, which have contained information for teenagers on how to obtain an abortion and contraception, promoted perverted sexual behaviors and graphics, and claimed outrageous statements such as virginity being a social “concept.”

STOPP most recently reported on Michigan’s DHHS’ $329,776 grant to PPMI for teaching its “Taking Pride in Prevention” program, which promoted contraception and sexual promiscuity to teenagers. On its now archived webpage, Planned Parenthood of Michigan’s education department states that its materials were for health and human services professionals, teachers, religious leaders, parents/caregivers, and students to utilize for sex education. However, PPMI’s 40-page e-book entitled A 101 Guide to Abortion is still active on its webpage.

While there is certainly more work to be done in putting an end to Planned Parenthood and its vile sex education, STOPP is pleased to know that the abortion giant’s influence in Michigan’s public education and communities will be less effective within the state due to this decision. This is an example of why it is crucial for our nation’s leaders to strip Planned Parenthood of all federal and state funding, so as to decrease its influence throughout our schools, communities, healthcare, and even churches.
