Have you ever read Abortion Practice, Warren Hern's standard abortion manual? He explicitly states that psychologically troubled women looking for an abortion should be refererred to a mental health practitioner ... after the abortion.
....and you mean to tell me we get up to $500 a pop and government tax dollars to boot??!!??
"if she came in with the cash, she could be any age she wanted to be"
2) This article's authors and several posters are jumping to the conclusion that what PP tells girls over the phone is all they're going to tell them. You can be sure that PP staff, most of whom are ardent feminists, do not approve in the least of adolescent girls having sex with older men. However, if they start lecturing the girl over the phone, she'll hang up and/or never come in -- this would just drive her back to relying on her "boyfriend" for help, which isn't in anyone's best interests. Once such a girl shows up at PP in person, I have little doubt that she'll get an earful from the counselors there about the inadvisability of such relationships. Most likely, they'd offer to help her in reporting it to the police -- at the very least, they'd plant the idea of that option in her head, for future use, when the relationship cools. If the girl is still adamant that she's "in love" with the creep, she wouldn't cooperate with a police investigation anyway, and the police would likely just drop the matter.
Absolute bollocks. Anyone who even bothers to take a cursory look at PP knows they promote the sexual activity of minors.
Whether endorsing sex education programs that emphasize mixed messages, run websites for teenagers that are sexually oriented, or funding TV ad campaigns, there can be no question what PP's bottom line is.
And the reason is simple. Kids have sex, girls get pregnant, girls run to PP to get an abortion, PP gets more blood money.
Surely you do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out?
For goodness sakes! What about the rapist jurisdiction of the 22 year old who is able to manipulate a child to get screwed - health, money and jurisdictionaly-wise? What about Planned parenthood knowing and hidding the info from parents? Sure, parents' lack of knowledge is no excuse, but let us go after the Fuerers before we go after the little guys. Please.
Planned Parenthood was founded for the purpose of lowering the birthrate of minorities.

ME TOO!!! That group gets TAX MONEY? That is a travesty.

That is jumping to an unwarranted conclusion. Many of the staff at Planned Parenthood may see it as the right of these children to ``control their sexual life,'' and will support anything they are doing that is considered antinomian.
Not surprised to hear this info.
Have you been following the story of the 13 year old girl killed by a 25 year old man she met on the Internet? Custodial aunt dropped the girl off at the mall, unsupervised, and was apparently accustomed to doing this upon the girl's request. This sort of idiocy isn't PP's fault, and I seriously doubt that this girl's guardian would have changed her policy if she got a call from PP telling her that the girl was pregnant. The girl would have cried and gone to confession and told her aunt she wouldn't do it again, and the aunt would have found it convenient to believe her, and dropped her off at the mall again next time she asked.
I also think you are behind the times with PP morality. As long as the older man ``does the right thing,'' by bringing her in for an abortion, the PP staff may not see anything wrong with it.
Whether endorsing sex education programs that emphasize mixed messages, run websites for teenagers that are sexually oriented, or funding TV ad campaigns, there can be no question what PP's bottom line is.
And the reason is simple. Kids have sex, girls get pregnant, girls run to PP to get an abortion, PP gets more blood money.
You're right, but I think it goes way beyond money.
PP is part of the "anti-religion" "pro-socialist" agenda. It's not just about making money off abortions. They want to tear down all societal norms in order to rebuild society in their liberal, socialist image.
Take sex. Sex is a wonderful and fun act. We know that. As parents, and as moral God-fearing people, we believe that sex should be reserved for marriage. If you can go out and have sex whenever you want with whomever you want, marriage is diminished. When marriage is diminished, divorce is easier (surprise, surprise, look at the divorce rates!)
By tearing down moral values, diminishing marriage, making "mistakes" (like STD's and babies) relatively easy to fix, sex becomes just something else to do like dancing or football or gymnastics.
In addition, PP intentionally tries to undermine the relationship between children (particularly girls) and their parents by encouraging children to lie to their parents (breaking two commandments there), and by propagating the myth that their parents would make them do something they don't want to do (have the baby) or putting the parents into the adversarial role (we're with you, honey; your parents aren't.)
I could go on and on about this. PP is an evil organization that wants to destroy our society by dividing children from their parents and giving an adult stamp of approval to bad choices our children are making. Not only with having an abortion, but promiscuous sex, lowering sex to a purely physical and not-emotional bond, and changing sex from a life-giving act to a purely selfish act.
Planned Parenthood needs to be exposed and stopped any non-violent way possible. I commend this organization for exposing their evil ways. I hope more parents read this and find ways to teach their children about sex that are more inline with their moral values and the lives they want for their children.
Which is probably why so many of the statists at the NRLC look askance at them.
Thanks very much for the heads up.
The NRLC is good for bill tracking, and nothing else.
Life Dynamics, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, and Priests for Life are the only pro-life activist organizations worth supporting.
