Give credit where credit is due. Bloomberg got something right! Planned Parenthood's angle escapes me.

Yep that is true. He did get it right on this issue. But the media won't see it that way. This statement {not even a law} rather than his acts of tyranny {Unconstitutional laws} will be attacked with a vengeance.

“Planned Parenthood of New York put out a press release blasting the ads for “stigmatizing” teen parents.”

Duh! That’s the point! Funny how illegitimacy rates were low back when they were stigmatized.

Not that PP cares about their feelings. Less teen parents means less panicked trips to get abortions, and less money for them.

The intelligentsia gets all worked up over self-righteous signs published for themselves and an imaginary audience, while teens everywhere are too stupid to read those signs due to the intelligentsia’s inability to recognize what constitutes a solid family, solid education, and a resultant civil society.

what did he do right?

These posters are not pro-abstinance

To stop teen pregnancy, stay away from poverty they say

Everything Bloomie touches turns to crap.

But that’s what you get when the king wants to micromanage every aspect of the peasants’ lives.

He’s encouraging “safe sex” and abortion, that’s all. Planned Parenthood is to those issues what the Liberal Brain Straw Man Version of the NRA is to the 2nd Amendment. Thanks neverdem.

Where in the brief description does it say that Nanny Bloomberg opposes teen ABORTION? He only wants them not to deliver the baby. No stats on what happens to teenagers who abort their children (drugs, psychological problems, STDs, etc).

SIECUS/Planned Parenthood is adamantly anti-abstinence. They consider it to be “unhealthy”.

Abstinence won’t stop the teen pregnancy problem. Ask the church going family down the street from me who are raising a wonderful 3 yr old when their daughter slipped.

Living in Appalachia for so long, I’m beginning to realize abstinence alone won’t solve this problem.

What we have here is a failure to abstain!

What are you talking about?

If that person practiced abstinence, they won’t get pregnant, 100% guaranteed

You're right that people make mistakes, but shotgun weddings used to be the reasonable response in many of those situations. Bring back marriage in general, and bring back shotgun weddings.

A good first step would be to stop providing financial incentives to unwed mothers.

You think their daughter got pregnant by abstaining?

Finally. Something I can get behind him on. Of course, the race baiters and government parasites won’t see it that way.

‘Hurting and shaming communities is not what’s going to bring teen pregnancy rates down,’ she added.”

But abortions will - right Haydee from Planned Parenthood?

These people are scum.

When the libs first introduced sex education into the public schools, and at an early age, the main rationale was that it would help prevent teen pregnancy ( putting condoms on bananas)..well, that hasn’t worked..
