The law, promoted by Missouri Right to Life, also makes it illegal for Planned Parenthood or other abortionist groups to teach school sex education classes and permits abstinence-only sex-ed curricula.

Wonderful news!

Fantastic news! And I am sure I know why it was needed. In MA, planned parenthood not only teaches, they write bills for the legislature to pass for them. Ant-parental rights bills.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I don’t know what else to say!!

Great news, but it’s not over yet. Now it has to get by the judges.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It is about time!

The law's reasonable - if Planned Parenthood can't meet health and safety standards, their clinics deserve to be shut down. I'd like to see them convince a judge operating a dangerous clinic is advancing "choice" for women.

Wow!! There he goes again! He is just exceptional. We are so lucky to have him.

Not entirely sure about the abstinence only thing. I know lots on this forum would agree with that stance but teenagers and uncontrolled hormones don’t always manage that. I don’t have a problem with teaching birth control but abortion IS NEVER an option!! Once the baby is there, it’s too late.

You can trust that the slime at the ACLU will ride to PP’s rescue.

Go Missouri!

The leftist judges who march to the hippie drumbeat will try to make sure that amoral fornication is promoted in public schools, and that is what planned parenthood is all about. Only feeling the heat will force the judges to see the light.

[The Blitherer]

The law's reasonable

Of course it is. The problem is that the judge that Planned Parenthood spends months shopping around for might not be.

Paula Gianino, president of Planned Parenthood for the St. Louis Region, said the new law could leave only one abortion facility in the state.

[TXnMA]

In 2006, 30,117 respondents in 48 states showed that as many as 59% of US citizens believe that abortion ends a human life.

And, of the remaining 41%, the vast majority also know that abortion ends a human life -- they just don't admit to that knowledge, because it would cramp their "do what feels good, and to He__ with any consequences" liberal lifestyle...

"Not entirely sure about the abstinence only thing."

Here's the thing about abstinence: It works every single time it's used. Granted, not all the kids will use abstinence, but if you set the goal high, even if they miss, it's closer to what is best. Aim for the moon. That way, if you miss, you will still at least hit the barn.

I think that, contrary to most leftist educrats, kids respond amazingly to high expectations. They just need to be given the chance to shine. If we don't expect much from them, we will get even less.
