Pro-life video of the day: Jane Fonda gives sex advice to teens
by LauraLoo
Matt Lauer of the Today Show interviewed Jane Fonda about her interest in giving teens sex and relationship advice, wherein she cited her inability to obtain guidance from her own parents as a teen. Interestingly, Jane admits that everybody is not “doing it” – “in fact, more adolescents are not engaged in sexual activity” – and that due to peer pressure, even she lied about when she lost her virginity.
She has authored a book titled Being a Teen: Everything Teen Girls and Boys Should Know About Relationships, Sex, Love, Health, Identity & More.
It should be noted that Fonda is a huge supporter of Planned Parenthood, and received the group’s Margaret Sanger Award in 2003.

What do you think? Are Fonda’s revelations about her own life helpful or harmful for teens?

The book came out on January 1, 2014 and there are no reviews on Amazon yet as of today. I’d be interested to know her take on abortion in that book? Does she advise teens to proceed or explore other options? Does she promote PP’s agenda in the book?
Most teens are going to say ”Jane who?”
I believe she researched parts of the book in North Vietnam.
“Most teens are going to say ”Jane who?””
Lol exactly. When’s the last time she was in a movie? Actually I think the only thing I’ve seen her in was The China Syndrome and I don’t think most kids have seen that. And she’s the one who was “Hanoi Jane” right? I don’t think most people under thirty know a whole lot about that.
Deluded Lib Pro-Lifer, ironic that you can bring up “Hanoi Jane”, which was decades ago. Yet to bring up the Roman Catholic Church scandal here is taboo. Amazing.
Eh? I don’t care one way or another about Jane Fonda or anything she did surrounding the anti-Vietnam thing, that stuff happened way before I was born and it’s irrelevant anyway. I was just trying to think of ways anyone who actually wasn’t born yet would remember her.
And I don’t think bringing up CC scandals is “taboo”, I just wish people would stop ignoring other victims of sexual abuse in other organizations so they can beat a dead horse some more, and I hate it when they are inaccurate about the abuse rates. Protestant churches, public schools, Boy Scouts, etc. have just as high rates of abuse and no one seems to care one way or the other. It’s annoying.
But I know you won’t actually answer, you just do the drive-by thing.
I will answer that Merit.
There was a time that trolls would come here CONSTANTLY and talk of pedophile priests. That is all they would do to stir it up.
So we decided to be done with that.
Since Jane Fonda has her own history as Hanoi Jane what’s the issue?
I don’t know anything about her as Hanoi Jane, so I can’t comment on that. I’ve seen her in a couple of things. The last one was MONSTER-IN-LAW and that was released in 2005 (so nearly 10 years ago).
As to her advice…some of it sounds all right. I don’t think unmarried teens should be having sex, but I know it happens. I think Jason Evert addresses some of these issues very nice in his books IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME and PURE LOVE.
People give sex advice to teens all the time. She’s probably not the best one to do it, because as it has been pointed out, she’s rather irrelevant to this day and age.
And giving her story will probably just make teens tell her the truth, “But things are very different now.” They are very different indeed.
And it makes me skeptical about what she has to say being so tied in with Planned Parenthood.
2005 (so nearly 10 years ago)
2005 is nearly 10 years ago!?
O_o
Yep good old Hanoi Jane now sits on the bench of PP. Shes been a bad apple from day one and I wouldnt take any advice from this liberal hack. I believe they had to keep her in PC because so many people wanted her dead after what she pulled. Shes nuts.
LibertyBelle,
If you’re rounding up, yes, it’s nearly 10 years ago. It’ll be 10 years next year. I don’t get what you’re trying to say with your comment. Are you shocked that it’s been that long since 2005?
Lol yeah it feels like that was yesterday. I don’t really know why. It always kinda freaks me out when I realize how long it’s been since the early 2000s.
Does that make me an old fart?
LibertyBelle,
If it makes you an old fart, then I guess I’m one, too LOL
In highschool I borrowed my mom’s cassette tape of her exercise routine. I can still her her counting and saying “ohhh, sing it James [brown, I think, it was something about love her today, all 100 ways]”
My dad said she was in “on golden pond” and I may have watched it as a junior in HS, other than that I know the name Hanoi Jane and that’s as far as my knowledge of Fonda goes, and I think her dad was an actor too? Now I don’t keep up with pop culture these days, but I just can’t imagine any teens getting excited about an actress who had jumped the shark before my day.
It is still important because she never, ever apologized to our service men. Hanoi Jane actually went to great lengths to stick it in the eye of the American servicemen who were bleeding and dying in Vietnam at the same time she did her traitor advertisements for the enemy. I have relatives and friends of relatives who bled, died, were injured, suffered with PTSD and some never got over what happened to them at Vietnam. There are still videos available to prove what she did it. We have all been “young and dumb” in our lives, me included, and done stupid stuff this was not just a young and stupid thing. This was an insult and the act of a traitor. I, along with many others who had older relatives and friends who fought in Nam did not agree with the war but we didn’t turn our backs on or go after our soldiers and veterans. If she had apologized later I could try to let it go but she never has and wants everyone to forget.
I would consider her as a PP-ite a traitor and accessory to crimes against the unborn, so her advice to teens would be the last I would recommend.
Thanks Jack and Carla for your comments about the Catholic Church when they are attacked.
LibertyBelle: 2005 is nearly 10 years ago!? O_o
That feeling….
Get used to it. °__°
My generation was the first one raised on television. The Barbarian Ruling Elites use television to subvert minds and control the masses. You have to be discerning when using TV. Jane Fonda is one of my least favorite people; her traitorous adventures in Viet Nam have never been apologized for. We were called “Baby Killers” by the anti-war protesters, and Fonda is joined at the hip with Planned Barrenhood, who are baby killers. She is still “entertaining” the weak minds of those who have let themselves get soft on TV, though.

ElizabethG, I think the Fonda clan are more pop culture than pop culture.
The Barbarian Ruling Elites use television to subvert minds and control the masses – yes Doc, Fox et al have a lot to answer for!
Hi PLL,
I remember Fonda’s treachery as well. If the woman wanted to protest the war, fine. She was fully within her rights. I was as opposed to the Vietnam War as she was. Our idiot politicians created that mess and our soldiers, as well as the Vietnamese, bled and died because of them.
But to actually go and give aid and comfort to the opposing side, those people were only our enemies because we made them such, ….that was another matter altogether. To turn against our servicemen, unforgivable.

I post things about relevant history because somebody has to; there is a taboo against teaching the genuine, influential well-documented history of Marxists, communists, socialists, and anarchists (oh- and the anarcho-syndicalists) in the United States.
This story is kept hidden because these forces have known, up until recently, that you cannot be a red and have your ideas accepted. One strategy of advancement has been to ride along with the apparatus of the democratic party, and the demo party accuses you of “red0bating” if you report honest, historically-informative history.
Whether you believe Fonda and other socialists were right or wrong, they have had a very significant influence upon our society. Their goal is to destroy our society, and usher in the Marxist revolution.
They have used and will use any toehold to get us Americans to be at each others’ throats. It can be said that it was dumb to be in the Vietnam war. It is pretty obvious that this war was run the wrong way. The reds loved being given this opportunity to foment division in the U.S.
A major force in all of this was Tom Hayden. He was a singular leading force in the birth of the group, Students for a Democratic Society. This was a socialist group that not only emphasized how the economy might work, or how to take care of social service needs, as we see much of socialism emphasizing, but this group advocated for many areas of social and political life to be overturned, and re-formed. They desired to be social engineers, with themselves as the decision-makers regarding how society should be organized, from the top-down.
If only we were taught this relevant history in school, we would know that there has been a clear line of Marxist and socialist thought back a hundred years, and a major landmark in the 1960s was SDS, and the Port Huron Statement, their manifesto about how society ought to look. The original draft, largely written by Hayden, is here:
http://www.sds-1960s.org/PortHuronStatement-draft.htm
That was about 1961.
Hayden, in 1965-1966 traveled with a “recognized” communist to North Vietnam (the “other side,” or enemy we were fighting). This trip is covered in his book, “The Other Side.”
Hayden made another trip in 1971. Jane Fonda, a love-interest of his at the time, accompanied him. She was a well-recognized movie star by then, partly based on the platform provided by her father, Henry Fonda.
So, Tom Hayden could only attract so much attention, but Jane had plenty of star power.
One vacation photo from that trip included Jane sitting on anti-aircraft guns – basically, big cannon-like guns used to shoot down planes – which would have been Americans flying soirees over NV. Surrounded by the enemy who would be operating the guns. Having a good time. And making statements about how bad America is.
This is the bottom line for all of these rabble-rousers: America is a terrible place; we need to tear it down, and put Marxists in control. They use any photo op they can – their history reflects so much opportunism – look at all the victim classes defined by the Port Huron Statement – that many of us Americans can just smell when they are skulking around behind the scenes of some otherwise relevant social issue to be addressed.
Jane simply represents the epitome of the negative aspects of that era.
Jane has apologized for cavorting with the enemy like she did.
Many conservatives perpetuate the story that she has never denounced her activities and the VN war politics she endorsed at that time. She has.
S#!+ rolls downhill. The innocent teenagers fighting the war were the focus of VN protests. The problem really lay with party politics, big business interests, and the global chess match with China/Russia. The soldier got the brunt of the anti-war movement. S#!+ rolls downhill.
Many commenters and readers are younger than me, and or have read less about this than me.
My education, including public K-12 and “secondary” education, taught me none of this. That is a shame. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Marxists spelled out the culture war they were bringing against the world. This includes hating capitalism, hating Christianity, and hating the nukelar family.
These efforts have had a profound effect upon us: they are the motivation behind the single-mom phenomenon, the sexual revolution, occupy wall street, acceptance of drug use, belief in a “livable wage” being a right, indulgent parenting styles, and more.
I believed all of that, until I started to question liberal assumptions and try to figure out where these ideas came from.
Ideas have histories.
Start exploring and reading. It is not acceptable that a young-adult generation has no idea what “Hanoi Jane” means, historically.
how come they let this dirty traitor back in the country? what a shame…
I post things about relevant history because somebody has to; there is a taboo against teaching the genuine, influential well-documented history of Marxists, communists, socialists, and anarchists (oh- and the anarcho-syndicalists) in the United States. – history as written by who? Their opponents? Just because something is labelled ‘history’ doesn’t make it factual, we also need to look at who wrote it and why. One certain country is notorious for having written their own version of WW2 history to teach their young.
Their goal is to destroy our society, and usher in the Marxist revolution. – do you have one shred of evidence for this?
A major force in all of this was Tom Hayden. – who? When was he president?
Jane sitting on anti-aircraft guns – like Cher did?
they are the motivation behind the single-mom phenomenon, the sexual revolution, occupy wall street, acceptance of drug use, belief in a “livable wage” being a right, indulgent parenting styles, and more. – and anti-vaxers, don’t forget anti-vaxxers!
Ideas have histories. – and history has ideas.
For what its worth, viewing the history of Vietnam, the French colonization, and then our involvement, we passed up a golden opportunity to have friends and a great deal of influence in that country when the Vietnamese were fighting and finally defeated the French.
We viewed the world as some international chess game with the communists. Everything was black and white, there were no shades of gray. Every upheavel in every part of the world had to be communist inspired. The communists were even responsible for our social problems, such as race riots and tensions. Certainly couldn’t be our own fault!
After perpetrating the lie known as “The Gulf of Tonkin Incident” Lyndon Johnson thought the “problem” of Vietnam, which we had helped create with our incessant meddling and which Johnson had promised to keep us out of, could easily be solved with a few bombs and bribes. Instead he created a quagmire with people who’s history, culture, and perspective we had no comprehension of. The rest is history.
The Last Democrat, I have never heard an apology from Hanoi Jane over the years if you have evidence of it I would like to see it. I would be very interested in a real apology not a “IF I hurt anyone by what I did and said many years ago, I am sorry but we should have never been in Vietnam so I was just expressing my 1st amendment rights”. Like I said I have relatives and friends who bled, died, were injured, suffered PTSD and who never got over what they suffered in that war. One of my childhood best girlfriends, her big brother was a Marine who died there, her mother never got over the death of her only son. One of my husband’s best friends his brother died there, his parents never got over it. A friend’s brother-in-law was a Army medic who suffered terrible PTSD, woke with nightmares, became estranged from his family due to his post-war trauma. Some of you oldies like myself probably can relate to what I am saying. Those men when they came back from Nam were called names like “baby killers” and spit on after doing their job for this country. I do not justify the America has made many mistakes over the years but our servicemen did not deserve the terrible treatment they received when they returned. I don’t want Americans to ever treat our servicemen and women like that again.
This is what she has to say about Hanoi. http://www.janefonda.com/the-truth-about-my-trip-to-hanoi/
Ask any vet about Hanoi Jane and they wince or will give you an earful. My late husband said she should have been put on trial for treason. Oh man he couldnt stand her. Now shes changed her life and sits on the board of PP…uh huh. The only thing she ever did right was exercise.
Jane Fonda is Michelle Obamas hero…look it up.
Yeah, she sounds like the person I want my kids going to for sex and relationship advice…. :P
There are plenty of better, more admirable (and relevant) people to tell kids that not everyone is having sex. That’s a good point, sure, but wouldn’t it be more meaningful coming from someone a little closer to their generation?
And ugh. Her historical actions disgust me. I’ve heard of all that before it’s just … so wrong. I don’t necessarily agree with the myriad wars we’re in now, but I’d never in my life take it out on soldiers and vets. That’s just wrong. Go to the people who sent them there.
they are the motivation behind the single-mom phenomenon, the sexual revolution, occupy wall street, acceptance of drug use, belief in a “livable wage” being a right, indulgent parenting styles, and more.
TheLastDemocrat…. Uh, there’s a lot more to history than the Marxists being behind everything. Sure, similar tenets of that philosophy might influence some of the things you mentioned. But to chalk all of society’s “ills’ to Marxism is ridiculous.
Our idiot politicians created that mess and our soldiers, as well as the Vietnamese, bled and died because of them. …. To turn against our servicemen, unforgivable.
Thank you Mary, well said.
I pretty much agree with Mary. I even see Ho Chi Minh’s attraction to communism as understandable; when we capitalist westerners in the U.S. (and other western world powers) see these various countries as pawns on a chess board, things will not go well. HCM, having spent plenty of time in Paris, knew VN was a pawn on a chess board. And so he looked for a way out of that trap.

This is a fine point. How we got where we are is a result of many influences.
My fine point is that we cannot ignore the influence of Marxism in the United States, including ideas of what is OK social policy, etc.
I did what I could to make the case that all of us should be conscious of this major force, along with other forces – such as in history class, nearly all of us were taught that major motivating forces were: forces such as the industrial revolution, the widely held concept of “manifest destiny,” Christian evangelism, the “Protestant Work Ethic” (itself a concept defined by Marxists to marginalize capitalism), “American Exceptionalism,” and racism, such as the willingness to see African-Americans, Native Americans, etc., as lesser humans.
“The only thing she ever did right was exercise. ”
That JF workout song still gets stuck in my head every now and then…
“There’s just so much..
more…
to you than meets the eye,
there’s just so much
more….”
HELP! the JF workout song is stuck in my head again!

Very good post, Mary. What a waste that whole deal was.
Hi Eric and Doug,
Thank you for your kind remarks.
Are you the reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy, TheLastDemocrat? Lol. Commies! Commies everywhere!
The Democratic party in the US bears little resemblance to Marxism. Liberals here are pretty “right wing” compared to liberals in most of Europe and such. I was conversing with someone from the UK online once and they referred to me as right wing and I laughed, but when I researched it a bit I realized what Americans think of as liberal is pretty moderate right comparatively.
“the “Protestant Work Ethic” (itself a concept defined by Marxists to marginalize capitalism)”
What does this even mean? Protestant work ethic is a concept that has a lot of support historically, and has absolutely nothing to do with Marxism. It predates Marx himself!
Jack: What does this even mean? Protestant work ethic is a concept that has a lot of support historically, and has absolutely nothing to do with Marxism. It predates Marx himself!
Jack, are you saying that Catholics just sit around and drink wine? : P
To be serious, Marx and Engels felt there were inefficiencies in capitalist systems, which compromised them. I think that history has shown us that capitalism is better at production (inefficiencies and all), and that more total wealth ends up in the system.
Pure, unbridled capitalism usually makes a relatively small number of people extremely rich, with most of the rest being akin to serfs. Capital tends to accumulate in the hands of the few, not the many. This gives rise to unions, gov’t redistribution, etc. The markets are studies of human emotion going from one extreme to another.
Mary you are on spot. We had no business being there anyway but like PL Laura I knew a lot of Vets who suffered PTSD. One was a former neighbor and he would talk to himself and begin screaming out loud. Someone told me he was in Nam. It was sad. And yes they were treated horribly being called Baby Killers and all.
A lot of folks think the vets’ PTSD was made worse by how quickly they got home. In previous wars, it took soldiers much longer to voyage home, especially those that travelled by ship. Vietnam vets could end up going from hostile jungle to mom’s kitchen in less than 48 hours.
“A lot of folks think the vets’ PTSD was made worse by how quickly they got home. In previous wars, it took soldiers much longer to voyage home, especially those that travelled by ship. Vietnam vets could end up going from hostile jungle to mom’s kitchen in less than 48 hours.”
I’ve heard this too, something about the culture shock and no adjustment period makes PTSD worse for combat vets. They’ve noticed similar effects for civilians taken directly out of war zones and put into a safe place, they have pretty hard adjustment periods.
The problem was the disgraceful treatment of our vets on their return home from Vietnam. They were cursed, spat upon, and reviled as “baby killers”, then forgotten about. They had been abandoned in the field and now they were abandoned at home. They were the reminders of an embarassing foreign policy disaster and left to their own devices.
We also forget that we send our soldiers to witness the worst the human race has to offer, and to engage in the most barbaric of acts, then expect them to come home well adjusted.
A few years ago our city had a “welcome home” for the Vietnam vets. Some were receptive, others said “shove it”.
Yes I was in my 20s at the time but my neighbor would scream bloody murder and I would go check on him. Hed be in a cold sweat cursing and screaming. One day I asked “Whats wrong Jimmy?” He replied it was nothing and he was okay. That was my first true encounter with PTSD. After a while I got used to it.
heather PTSD has ruined a lot of good servicemen and women caused a lot of pain, abuse and suicide. I want to see every serviceman or women and their families get everything they have fought bled and died for. No excuses.
I have a friend whose son has been deployed many times flying into warzones all over the world. He wants out of the military that he used to love because BHO has destroyed, dismantled, discouraged, insulted the honor of these men and used them PC backdrop advertisements and social engineering experiments. He does not even recognize the military anymore it’s called “fundamentally transforming America” when the morale is so low that wonderful men and women who have laid down their lives for their country can’t wait to get out and now recognize that they cannot have a honorable military career. Ask the military families and the military chaplains what is happening to the military (unless they are Obamaites or radical leftist who want America to “lead from behind”), they have not seen the morale so low. Anyone who can get out is trying to do so. God help this nation.
