Letter to the Editor
Speaker didn't coincide with women and health

I have a question concerning the purported "Womens' Health" Conference recently held at Penn State.

The keynote speaker, Patrick Califia Rice, is a well known champion of adult-child sex and the pederasty group NAMBLA, whose published works include a fictional short story about a lesbian who performs acts of sadism on her 13-year old daughter.

NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a New York-based group that advocates legalizing sex between men and young boys.

The NAMBLA Web site includes a quotation from Califia, attributed to an interview she gave in October 1980 with the homosexual magazine The Advocate: "Boy-lovers and the lesbians who have young lovers are the only people offering a hand to help young women and men cross the difficult terrain between straight society and the gay community. They are not child molesters. The child abusers are priests, teachers, therapists, cops and parents who force their stale morality onto the young people in their custody. Instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them."

One of Califia Rice's books is Macho Sluts (published by Allyson Publications), a collection of sadomasochistic erotic fictional short stories.

One story, titled "Finishing School," is about a lesbian mother who submits her 13-year-old daughter to sadistic homosexual torture. In the story, the mother whips the daughter until she bleeds.

In regard to the praise of those speakers promoting Planned Parenthood and abortion rights, the last that I heard, many of those aborted babies are little girls. So I have an obvious question. What does homosexuality, as Califia clearly understands it, and aborting little girls have to do with womens' health?
