Wingers Fear UGA Students Might Learn Something at Adult Store

ATHENS, GA—Campus Reform, a right-wing website whose beat is the nation's schools and colleges, reported today that University of Georgia students took a field trip this past weekend into those darkest of places: the Atlanta offices of Planned Parenthood as well as Inserection, a nearby adult store with a video arcade in its basement—which Campus Reform's Kaitlyn Schallhorn described as a "sex club" because some of the booths have gloryholes. And OMG! The university student fund paid for the trip! Seems the students were members of the school's Sexual Health Advocacy Group (SHAG), a part of the University Health Center whose mission, its website states, is to help students make "informed decisions that are consistent with your personal beliefs and values. Achieving a sense of comfort and fulfillment in your sexuality and participating or refusing to participate in sexual behaviors is also integral to maintaining sexual health." And while institutions (including university hospitals) in Georgia are allowed to refuse to perform abortions, the Health Center's website does provide contact information for two abortion providers—even if they are in Atlanta, 90 miles away from the campus. Anyway, according to The College Fix, which describes itself as "Your Daily Dose of Right-Minded News and Commentary from Across the Nation," SHAG had announced that Saturday's activities would begin with "a regional cross dressers support group meeting … followed by a three-hour reproductive justice training at Planned Parenthood, and conclude with a stop at Inserection adult store." While no one's talking about just what that "reproductive justice training" included, it was given by a UGA alumna now working at Planned Parenthood, so readers were left to guess what it entailed. Helpfully, The College Fix's reporter Blake Seitz noted that SHAG is "a student-fee funded activism group whose recent endeavors also include protests of campus pro-life displays and sexual health awareness campaigns featuring anthropomorphized condoms and seasonal themes like 'Wrap that Hallowiener,'" and that Planned Parenthood "is best known as the country’s largest abortion provider, responsible for 327,166 abortions in 2012-13, or roughly one in four abortions performed in the United States over that period." He also noted that Inserection (which the Campus Reform article for some reason refers to as "Intersection") is "an adult sex shop that sells a wide variety of items, including vibrators, edible underwear, pornography, pipes and water bongs, and lingerie." However, the idea that its basement is a "sex club" is based on two Yelp reviews from 2009—not the most reliable source for what's happening there today. But while any college health program would be remiss if it didn't visit a Planned Parenthood facility at least once each semester—after all, it's a place where many women go for birth control, STD counseling and treatment, "morning after" pills and the like—Seitz was up in arms over the fact that... students might actually learn something there? "SHAG's field trip is galling because the group claims to be about impartial and 'all-inclusive' health education," Seitz, who's also the editor of the university's "The Arch Conservative," told Campus Reform in an email. "There is nothing at all impartial about trips to Planned Parenthood." Yeah, much better that these students learn about sexual health from the Catholic Church!
