Pregnant on Purpose

Where's the Outrage?

from JoeUser Forums

Many emotions came rushing to the surface when I read a particular article this morning.  I was mad, as in very angry, sad as in very grieved, disappointed as in I was hoping our young people knew better than this and outraged, as in livid, because the adults knew what was going on, at least to some degree.   

What did I read? 

In Gloucester, MA a group of teenage girls all under the age of 16 made a pact to get pregnant.  And they did.

Right now in Gloucester High School there are 17 girls pregnant on purpose.  Normally the average total of pregnancies each year for this particular high school hits about four. 

These girls made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together.  What?  Where are the parents? 

What about the school clinic?  They must have known because, the girls, according to the principal, were repeatedly making visits to the teen clinic taking multiple pregnancy tests.  He even said these girls would get  visibly upset when the results came back negative.  When they came up positive eventually there were high fives given out and plans for baby showers. 

Hello?  The clinic knew this and kept giving out these tests with no counseling?  Why?  Parents should be outaged!  I'm outraged and I'm not even one of these parents. 

One of the fathers is a 24 year old homeless man.

This just came out in Time Magazine but was first reported in the Gloucester Daily Times.  According to the Principal, Joe Sullivan, he said these particular girls lacked self-esteem and have a lack of love in their lives.  All the more reason for the teen clinic to take notice.  Don't ya think? 

All the more proof to show that the Planned Parenthood behind all this is nothing more than a business.  This meant more business for the clinic.  They keep track of the business very well.  They know the bottom line in each of these clinics. 

A Christian clinic would NEVER have closed their eyes to such a pact.  Because their goal is to try to keep kids from  having sex, counseling would have been foremost on their mind when that first girl came in for a test. 

So now we have,  just in this one high school,  17 pregnant girls with no thought of the consequences.  But what should we expect?    Isn't that what we're teaching them?  Holloywood glorifies sex outside of marriage and we mock those who dare to admit they believe in abstinence.   

So we reward stupid behavior and we punish those who do right. 

So much for sex education.  These girls knew right where to go when they wanted encouragement getting pregnant.  The adults passing out those tests did nothing to discourage them.  Perhaps they thought they'd be back later to get their abortions.  Follow the money trail. 

Shame on them!

On your second point. I do not know the hearts of the people. For all I know they could deep down believe that they are helping people but totally ignorant of what they are doing.

Okay, so you have a problem judging Planned Parenthood.

I don't. It's not difficult to understand PP is in the business of killing unborn babies. I can't imagine anyone who works at PP is ignorant of that fact...rationalizing it as OK is an entirely different matter.

I think the connection between parental and family involvement and reduced teen pregnancies cannot be overlooked.

I think this is getting to the root.

I believe the root of society is the family and even more so the marriage.

I can criticize and show my disapproval of PP but I cannot judge the whole entity. That entity employs people.

Good for you that you can freely judge with good conscience. I just know I cannot.

Besides providing contraceptives to girls as young as 11 years old, Planned Parenthood's main mission is to provide the means to kill(by abortion) that unborn child.

Planned Parenthood is more than abortions.  Here's an interesting article from a medical student who worked at Planned Parenthood for this OB/Gyn rotation.

Locamama,

Ah, a link from Advocates for Youth....a group that pushes sex instruction programs and every chance they get...bashes the successes of abstinence until marriage education.

To their credit..the president of AFYouth acknowledged the fact that we've got an epidemic of venereal diseases. Problem is sex ed programs teach youngsters the use of birth control pills and condoms which do not prevent them from acquiring STDs.

What does works every time though ....is practicing chastity!

What do we know about the group known as Advocates for Youth?

We know that in 1998, they returned from a research trip in Europe where they studied the European sex education model.

That they actively promote the practices of homosexuality, bisexuality and transgenderism for teens and children.

That in 1999, they recommended the US through off our so called outdated and irrelevant restraints by adopting the following:

Beginning in Kindergarten children should be taught explicit information about sexual matters.

Adults should prepare kids for having sex rather than prevent them from having sex.

Adolescents should have access to pornography.

Sex ed and discussion about teen sexual activity should be value free and void of discussion about morality and virtue.

Condoms should be readily available and accessible in middle and high schools.

All abstinence until marriage education programs should be banned from public schools.

A national socialized medical system should pay for all abortion and contraceptive services.

The trip to Europe and Advocates for Youth's subsequent recommendations was due to the fact that in 1996 in Washington there started to be a sentiment for a return to modesty and abstinence only education was clamoring for some of Sex-ed federal funding from Title V. Planned Parenthood was livid about having to give up their monoply on federal funding for sex-ed.

In 2002, AFY teamed up with SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, the Centers for Disease Control, NARAL, People for the American Way, and PFLAG, to attack abstinence funding under Title V and reinvigorate the sexual revolution. They turned teaching Health information to teaching reproductive health information.

The mission and theme of the campaign centers around the 3 R's Rights, Respect, and Responsibility.

RIGHTS: Children have a right to reproductive health care. This means they have a right to abortion on demand.
RESPONSIBILITY: means that young people need to be taught that pleasure is a part of human development, children are sexual from birth, and "safe-sex" should be part of lessons K-12. Involves readily available contraception especially condoms distribution.
RESPECT: Respect is two fold. The adult world is to show respect for teens and children to self-determination, deciding what services they want, what information they want access to and when they are ready to have sex.
Also respect is for respecting and affirming homosexuality as normal. Lots of propaganda to do that.

The latest is from the NEA, where they are set to affirm teaching on homosexual "marriage".

Nice group? I'll let you all be the judge.

Now that you have this bit of info...go back and reread their link!

Of course, AD.

It's actually kind of ridiculous where I went to high school. In the EIGHTH grade, we are taught basic human anatomy, but not, of course, what sex actually is. We all just kind of figured it out on our own. We were also taught the controversy over abortion. That was it.

In high school, we had contracts to give to our parents that promise the parentals that our teacher would not mention contraceptives at all, or anything other than abstinence. It took ten minutes to go over basic anatomy again and for them to tell us not to bedunkadunk.

That was it. I pretty much tuned it all out because I had already chosen not to have premarital sex due to what my parents taught me and what I believe through my religion, but that's a discussion for another day.

High school sex-ed did absolutely nothing to affect my decision whether or not to have sex, and like I said, there were three pregnant girls in my high school when I graduated, and another girl I knew was engaged and four months pregnant.

In my experience, it didn't work out so well.

Thanks CB. Sounds like pretty much the same as what I got.
