Girls would shun sex health care: Children Need Planned Parenthood,Says Planned Parenthood Study

A "child" is under the age of 18. It is statutory rape for anyone, another child or an adult, to have sex with a child.

The rules vary by state, and there are exceptions. If a pair of sixteen-year-olds get married (with parental consent, as needed) they are not required to wait until they're 18 before beginning conjugal relations. Even if a state completely forbids marriage of people under 18, it would still have to recognize the marriage of a 16-year-old couple from another state.

Children Need Planned Parenthood,Says Planned Parenthood Study

I don't think so!!!!!!

What children need is integrity and a belief in God!

[cartoonistx]

Re-institute shame, stigma and fear of consequence and the problems of underaged sexual activity will disappear. Of course they may only disappear from easy view.

Are you a parent? Have a daughter? I have two of 'em.......and no, I haven't had to face this nightmare scenario, but I DO know for a fact that this is the policy of Planned Parenthood.

For you to suggest that "Well, gee.......if you don't have an open enough relationship with your daughter..." or "If you just be sure to raise her right.." is wholly disingenuous and, frankly, vapid.

Think before you post something like that.

We're talking about someone ripping a fetus from inside your teenaged daughter without you having to even know about it. We're not talking about sneaking into the "wrong kind of movie" at the local cinema multiplex here.

Fercryinoutloud, what's with people these days????????

[punkit]

We are talking about birth control and sex education here. It really is your job to talk to your kids about these issues. Regarding abortion A majority of the states in the US already have laws on the books requiring parental consent or notification.

And not only am a parent (and old enough to be a grandparent), I was around when birth control for married couples was illegal. Yes, I understand you misinterpreting what I say, but my only point is:

if you keep the lines of communication with your children open, there is a very good chance your children will know that you trust them to make the right decisions. And they WON'T be in that position in the first place.

Teach your kids right. Respect them and they will respect you. If you instill them with trust in what you say and a sense that you will love them unconditionally, that equips them with power. The power to SAY NO to the boys, to SAY NO to premarital sex, to say NO to condoms.

I have seen enough in my lifetime to convince me if a child has been brought up to think for themselves with a sense of values, the values you instill in them from a very young age, understanding and trust will flow...both ways.

It is the child who is brought up to only fear their parents or have learned that they cannot talk to the only person in the world they need the most. In a time of trouble, if they believe you would not be there for them, then the problem goes way deeper than a piece of free latex.

Sex ed Planned Parenthood Messiah says: "Because you can't look at how many babies they kill, they can look in your bedrooms how you raise your children."

Leftist Hypocrisy 101: you do not own power, so give me the power.

[RightOnline]

Nice thoughts / points, but you entirely miss my point.

This is not an issue about parent / child communication or trust.

This IS about the government openly supporting an organization that violates every possible concept of parental authority. I find it worse than despicable.

I called these droolers once to verify that this, in fact, was their policy. Not only did they confirm that they will provide abortions (and many other "services") to teenaged girls without any parental notification (let alone consent), but this person said it in a haughty, condescending, snotty tone as if to say "....look, you knuckle dragger, we'll do with YOUR daughter whatever WE wish and there's not a damned thing you can do about it....".

They'll get their comeuppance, I'm convinced.

If any parents feel they are not qualified to supervise their own daughters, then let those parents give signed permission to have planned parenthood do things behind their backs.

Precisely! Sean Hannity reported this on his radio show yesterday. He did a creditable job setting it as he had prepped for it. However, when the first caller said she favored the ability for her teenage daughter to gain these services without her consent, Hannity basically went into a Ralph Kramden, "Hommina, hommina, hommina..." response and hung up. The never nimble Sean should have responded, "Fine, sign over your parenting duties to Planned Parenthood if you like, but why subject those who disagree with you to the same fate?" as you suggest.

Planned Parenthood is doing all they can to encourage children to have sex. Here is another Planned Parenthood article:

Study Reveals Birth Control Pill Does Not Make Teens Fat
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/reuters/020802_pill.html

[jgrubbs]

Here is how they are promoting this "study" on their site for teens, http://www.teenwire.com/

Pill Doesn't Pack on Pounds
by Jon Platner

Good news! A recent study disproves what many teenage girls have believed for a long time - that taking birth control pills will make them gain weight. The study followed 66 white girls from age 12. By age 21 more than half of the girls were on the Pill, while the others were not. The researchers found that average weight gain of the Pill users was similar to their peers who weren't on the Pill.

The number one reason that women stop taking the Pill is that they think it's making them gain weight. This study dismisses the myth once and for all, though it's possible that results could vary according to ethnicity, obesity, and exercise habits, since the study was conducted only on healthy white females.

http://www.teenwire.com/ Planned Parenthood's site for teens encourages teens to be bisexual, to masturbate, to have sex, etc.

I wonder how many government schools across america work with Planned Parenthood using tax dollars to promote http://www.teenwire.com to America's youth?

What can we do to stop Planned Parenthood??

[jgrubbs]

I just called my Congressman's office and told them that I don't want my tax dollars going to support trash like teenwire.com

In its annual report, Planned Parenthood said it received $202.7 million from government sources (American taxpayers) in the fiscal year that ended in 2001.

[RISU]

The "purpose" of sex is procreation. It is something that should be reserved for the stability of marriage and family life for the protection of society and the life and caring for children.

"Recreational sex" is harmful to adults, children, society, and personal physical and mental health. Anything we do that gives encouragement to the young to "play" with their sex is essentially criminal.

If you take on this point-of-view, even for a second, you can look around and see how awful is the society we have created. When we transform this by allowing "institutions" to grow up that promote sex in any way outside the marriage, we "hard wire" the awfulness into society.

Save you money. Let the dead bury the dead.

Startling Stats on What Planned Parenthood is Doing Today

"Here are some other facts you may not know about this prominent member of the abortion industry:

• In 2000 PP took in a record $69 million by performing abortions - one-third of their total income.

• For every adoption referral, they aborted 79 babies.

• Since 1995 the number of PP abortions has increased a whopping 41%.

• As of 1977 PP has killed over 3 million unborn babies.

• From 1985 through 2000, PP has received nearly 2.2 billion tax dollars.

• PP president, Gloria Feldt, receives a salary of $324,217 a year."

Wow! They're doing a great job of keeping the blood flowing, er PLANNING PARENTHOOD.

Punkit - What you say about raising kids is good - that they should be able to talk to you. But it is IRRELEVANT to this discussion. Why should a school or private institution like Planned Parenthood have anything at all to do with the life and death issues of contraception, abortion, promotion of sexual activity, etc etc.? That is NOT their business. If a kid faces an angry parent for wanting contraception, then so be it. That is between the kid and the parent. Why should strangers (typically with a sick any-kind-of-sex anywhere agenda) be involved in those discussions and decisions?

Would it be okay for a stranger to get involved if the parents were insisting that the daughter get an abortion? (Just asking.)

No. It's nobody else's business, so long as abortion is legal, except perhaps that of the family's religious counselor (priest or minister, as an example).
