The House's proposed health national health plan would establish "school-based health clinics" on campuses, and one group is warning it could give Planned Parenthood direct access to American schoolchildren at taxpayer expense.
The American Family Association, or AFA, is warning that Section 399Z-1 of H.R. 3200, or the House plan, titled "School-Based Health Clinics," allows a "non-profit health agency" to serve as a "sponsoring facility" for health clinics that operate during school hours. AFA has provided a document with actual language from H.R. 3200 that outlines requirements for the program.
AFA notes that under this provision Planned Parenthood would be authorized to serve as a "sponsoring facility" for the nation's schools.
"Although the bulk of the health care bill is scheduled to go into effect in 2013, this particular provision is slated to go into effect next summer, in time for clinics to appear in public schools by next fall," an AFA memo stated.
The bill requires that the school-based health clinic "provide on-site access during the academic day when school is in session" and have "an established network of support and access to services with backup health providers when the school or [clinic] is closed."
H.R. 3200 requires that health clinics be given preference for the program if they have a demonstrated record of service to 1) a high percentage of medically underserved children and adolescents and 2) communities or populations in which children and adolescents have difficulty accessing health and mental health services.

Abortion clinics on our college campuses?
Every morning I wake up to another nightmare with this poser...
So if you’re a freshman in high school, you can skip math class and get an abortion on the school campus? Am I reading this correctly?
I am beginning to believe that we will be left with two choices in the next few years; Either the GOP pulls it’s collective head out of it’s collective ass and is elected to massive majorities in both houses AND a conservative is elected in 2012 or we are well on our way to a hot, shooting rebellion.
GOD I PRAY FOR THE FORMER.
Actual parents no longer needed under Obama’s Amerika.
Does anyone with a brain really think that these libs haven’t been waiting for this golden opportunity to push their anti-life free-sex-without-responsibility agenda on our kids?
Headline should read: “OBAMA’SCARE”
Yes, this is truly a diabolical regime.
Except for your inadvertent use of the unrelated modifier, "public" instead of "government", I agree.
