Every year, Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money. Just last year, it received $272.7 million taxpayer dollars, covering 1/3 of its total income. Since 1987, $3.9 billion of our taxes have gone to fund Planned Parenthood’s brutal, illicit and licentious activities. Ever wonder what it does with that money?

In ancient Rome, there were two pagan festivals in the month of February that celebrated sexuality and included sexual games surrounding the phallus. The festivals of Juno Februa and Lupercalia, which began on February 14 and culminated on February 21, included the exchange of love notes, the drawing of lots which would determine their sex partner for the duration of the festival and a plethora of other orgastic rites.

Last week, Planned Parenthood brought back those old pagan rituals by launching its National Condom Week. Celebrating a week of sexual indulgence, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate in San Francisco encouraged people to send an e-card stating, “Valentine’s Day is the first day of National Condom Week, will you be covered?� Implicitly promoting multiple sexual partners, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. sold “cupid condoms� and advertised them as “the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your sweethearts.� Note that “sweetheart� is plural.

In keeping with the old pagan tradition of promoting the phallus as the symbol of the holiday, Planned Parenthood VOX chapter at Tufts University in Massachusetts ran a “sex fair,� which was decorated with “phallic balloons� and included several “games� including a [phallic] ring toss. One booth even had a station for students to decorate suggestively-shaped cookies.

In an age where government is completely barred from funding anything of a religious nature, one has to wonder why Planned Parenthood is receiving taxpayer dollars to resurrect ancient pagan rituals. While the invocation of particular deities may be absent from its past week’s “festivities,� there can be no doubt that the activities and dates of Planned Parenthood’s National Condom Week deliberately coincide with the old pagan traditions.

In light of this disgusting display of pagan debauchery, we call on all citizens to sign the petition at www.StopPlannedParenthoodTaxFunding.com and do everything possible to cut off government funds to Planned Parenthood.
