Knoxville: PP presents to students without parental consent in violation of law

CALL TO ACTION for Knoxville's Pro-Life Community

Planned Parenthood has been given access to Knox County students and at least one presentation has been done without parental consent, which is required by Tennessee law.  Beyond the fact that Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider (well over 300,000 in 2009), their "wellness education" includes elements that most parents would consider unacceptable, if not pornographic.  

Please help us get the word out.  Visit www.NoKnoxvilleAbortion.org to print flyers for Thursday's meeting, view a brochure detailing what Planned Parenthood is advocating with our students, or to link to their website to view some of their videos for yourself.

We are asking every concerned leader and parent to take a clear and immediate stand against this effort to corrupt our students and degrade the gift of human sexuality with their unacceptable materials.

PLEASE ATTEND AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING

Thursday, January 27th from 6:30 until 8:00 pm

at The Chancery Office at 805 Northshore Drive, SW (Map)

There will be a presentation of additional information on Planned Parenthood's agenda and history, along with a discussion of a strategy for action to remove them and their endorsed materials from our schools.  Our unity in this effort will be critical for success, so please share this information with friends, family and pastors and invite them to join you for this important meeting.

Here are some points you may want to include in your communications:

• Planned Parenthood has already presented their materials to students at Hardin Valley Academy, WITHOUT parental knowledge or consent.
• Planned Parenthood is the world's largest abortion provider, their graphic websites target teens with obscene material that encourages risky sexual behavior.
• Planned Parenthood has been exposed as an organization that protects sexual predators by failing to report apparent sexual assaults against minors, as is required by virtually every state's laws.
• Planned Parenthood has been exposed as an organization that continually usurps parental rights and authority.
• The Tennessee legislature voted to essentially defund Planned Parenthood in 2010, after a video filmed in Planned Parenthood's Memphis office revealed clinic staff encouraging an apparent teen to lie to a judge to obtain an abortion without her parent's consent and to protect her alleged adult assailant.
• Please remove Planned Parenthood from the list of approved guest speakers in our local schools.

For any questions, or to request digital copies of flyers and brochures, please contact Lisa Morris at (865) 567-1245.
