LA Times Supports Planned Parenthood Partnership with Local School District

A massive, notoriously scandal-ridden abortion provider is operating in Los Angeles high schools? What could go wrong?

Anna Gorman, writing for the Los Angeles Times on June 5, gave a glowing report of a highly controversial move:  the nation’s largest abortion provider has been put in charge of a public high school’s health care.

Unsurprisingly, Gorman ignored the recent controversies concerning Planned Parenthood. Videos showing Planned Parenthood’s willingness to allow sex-selection abortion and state revocations of funding failed to appear in the report.

School nurses such as Sherry Medrano of Roosevelt High School, dispense ‘free’ birth control products, pregnancy tests, and administer STD screenings. Even emergency contraception like the Plan B ‘Morning-After’ Pill is now available to adolescents. 

Gorman ignored the fact that the apparent elimination of consequences of teenage sexual activity promotes reckless behavior. Nor did she reflect on the fact that a group that encourages sexual behavior may not be the best provider of reproductive health care. Abstinence was never once mentioned as an alternative.

Gorman interviewed Planned Parenthood Executive Director Sue Dunlap, who claimed she has never dealt with a problem regarding confidentiality. "We really don't experience the traditional narrative of angry parents not wanting access to reproductive care in the schools," she said. "It's really the opposite."

Impressionable high school students are conditioned to trivialize morality and sexuality at a young age by Planned Parenthood. Gorman refused to recognize any negative aspects of the collaboration in her report; neither does anyone she talks to in the piece.

Abortion is big business. A large portion of Planned Parenthood’s revenue is generated from tax revenue. According to an American Life League report, the organization received more than $2 billion in federal grants and contracts between 2002 and 2008.The service it provides the public school system is also funded in large part by a taxpayer funded organization.

That being said, it’s hardly a surprise that a publication like the Los Angeles Times would publish an article praising Planned Parenthood, while ignoring any negative information. The story was shocking enough to warrant a link to the Drudge Report.

And, no doubt, sans parental notification

Does anyone seriously think parents will have any say in this?

Also, does anyone think they won't be trying to put the program (after all, it's a "health" program!) in Catholic schools sooner or later?

How do they expect birth control to work in a school district that has teachers dispensing their own DNA "icing" on cookies, to grade school students?

OMO, Phil, that link should have had a "gag alert."

And to think years ago, I had people actually ask me how I could send my daughter to a Catholic school, what with the priests and al.....

Both our daughters-in-law have decided to home school, God bless them!

Sorry

I thought the "icing" would be a giveaway.

And guess what? The teacher's union didn't allow him to be fired when the story broke. The investigation was over a year and he'd been taken out of the class, but was still getting paid.

The only way it was uncovered is that he was still getting film developed! If not for having a photo tech notify the police he'd still be doing it. Makes you wonder how many like him have digital cameras.

I predict...

Submitted by c5then on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 10:58am.

An epidemic of STDs in Los Angeles High Schools in a year or less if this is allowed to stand. Along with an explosion in the pregnancy rate (unreported of course), an explosion in abortions (unreported of course), depressions and suicdes.

This has the potential to be an absolute unmittigated disater for LA girls that will not be noticed or recognized for a decade or longer.

c5, they don't care!

There are already studies out there showing that increased access to contraceptives has NOT decreased pregnancies, nor has it reduced the number of abortions.

My take? It's all about keeping Planned Parenthood in business.

Yes...

and still sucking off the government to survive against the will of the people.

They know that if PP were to have all government funds eliminated, it could not survive.

This new plan has them being paid by the school system with funds generated from property taxes so the public still has no say in the matter.

I remember when I was in high school

Submitted by NOLAgirl on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 11:00am.

many moons ago... One of our assignments was to make or buy 4 toys to be used in the daycare center that was being opened on campus so that teen moms could return to school. At the time I was young and stupid and I thought this was a fabulous idea.

I could never in my wildest dreams have imagined just 20 years later, we would be allowing abortion providers on school grounds.

I'll try to be nicer if you'll try to be smarter.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth...

Submitted by bigdaddy on Fri, 06/08/2012 - 11:46am.

...at my HS there was maybe one girl per year who got pregnant and when this happened the girl usually was enrolled at a school with others in her situation. It was not made a main stream deal, no in-school nursery, etc.

The thing that excites me is the next logical step...opening a DNC office in each high school to aid and educate students.

Well, yes, but....

"...opening a DNC office in each high school to aid and educate students."

wouldn't that be redundant?
