"They're three of the scariest words a teenager can say to a parent. But a video of teenagers (and young adults) proclaiming "I Have Sex" is proof that parents are doing their jobs. Our kids really are all right. "
" I'm proud of them because I was once one of them."She applauds the video made to protest the defunding push for PP...says she would be proud to call any of these kids her own.....and reading the comments many of those who follow her agree.

"According to police reports, officers were called to the hospital's emergency room after Taylor told a nurse she intentionally fell because she wanted to get rid of her unborn child. She also reportedly told a doctor she did not want the baby"Now falling intentionally down the stairs could cause harm or death to the woman and as well as the pre born child. If a medical professional thinks you may be suicidal, it is not uncommon for them to call law enforcement and confine you for psychiatric evaluation. It is legal to mandate a psychiatric evaluation for someone who reported suicidal actions, in fact to do less could be considered neglect.
"Circuit Judge John Cooper held an emergency hearing by telephone and ruled after taking testimony from Burton and Bures-Foresthoefel, but without obtaining a second medical opinion. The doctor said Burton's membranes had ruptured, that she was having early contractions and the fetus was in a breech position"
" Three days after the judge ordered her not to leave the hospital, Burton delivered a stillborn fetus by cesarean-section"Not exactly stating the facts are they? She was admitted to the hospital first and when she wanted to leave without the doctor's consent, he had the judge intervene. I note that the ACLU sued the state of Fl on her behalf and lost.
"...even if it means confining a woman to a hospital-bed against her will, jailing them for having thought of an abortion, or denying the choice to a teenager because of her grammar."
"Priests for Life staff toiled through the night for many nights, working in concert with dozens of people to make this possible," Father Pavone said of the nighttime rescue mission. "Now that we have won the battle against the medical bureaucracy in Canada, the real work of saving Baby Joseph can begin."
Father Pavone said Baby Joseph's transfer was accomplished through the efforts of a number of people, including his parents; family spokesman Sam Sansalone; family attorney Claudio Martini; Bobby Schindler of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Dr. Martin McCaffrey, a neonatologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Medical School; the Rev. Pat Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, D.C., and attorney CeCe Heil from the American Center for Law and Justice, also in D.C. Father Frank also thanked the many other Canadian pro-life groups and individuals who have been consistent and heroic in their advocacy for Baby Joseph and for all the vulnerable."
"What this means is Planned Parenthood staff including volunteers, front-desk staff (which often willingly offer medical guidance), and other non-licensed office staff are not required to report child sexual abuse when they find out that a child is being abused.Why then is Planned Parenthood opposing this common-sense measure that requires that all Planned Parenthood staff report child sex abuse when made aware of it? Planned Parenthood writes on their website:HB 2093 requires office staff and volunteers of organizations that provide reproductive health care or sex education to be mandated reporters of child abuse. All doctors, nurses and teachers are already mandated reporters. Therefore, these organizations are already legally required to make reports. This bill creates redundant regulations that have the potential to overload the Department of Children and Family Services.The ACLU, strong backers of abortion, though continues to oppose the child sex abuse reporting bill saying:

Another measure, House Bill 2093, expands mandated reporting of child abuse – already required of every licensed health care professional in the state – to cover every employee or volunteer of any organizations that provides or refers for reproductive health care – creating cumbersome and unnecessary bureaucracy and training requirements for non-profit organizations and diverting time and money from patient care."
Representing the pro-life side of the debate was Stephanie Gray, ( pictured above) co-founder and executive director of the Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform. Facing Gray was Dr. Mark Mercer, chairperson of the philosophy department at Halifax’s St. Mary’s University, who has in the past won the ire of pro-abortion activists for defending the rights of pro-lifers to express their opinions on university campuses.
Mercer agreed that the unborn are human beings, and that abortion is the deliberate killing of a human being, but argued that the notion of “human being” is not a “morally relevant concept.” Individuals are not special by virtue of their “species membership,” he said, but become “persons” and worthy of protection because they possess certain “ethically salient properties” such as the ability to experience pain or pleasure, self-consciousness, and rationality.
According to Mercer, a child likely only gains personhood at around 18 months to two years of age, and he also suggested at one point that adult pigs might be persons.A principled vegetarian, he agreed that it could be wrong to kill a pig even though he believes it’s acceptable to kill a child in the womb.

Again, pretty standard fare but I remember the words of former PP clinic director and employee of the year, Abby Johnson when she said that PP wants to be non judgmental to the point that sex abuse of minors becomes routine and aiding people posing as sex traffickers are treated like another lifestyle choice. Non judgmental on steroids...."Heather Holland, executive director at Planned Parenthood Ottawa, says her organization was very keen to work with the two community groups because they all work to promote sexuality positively.The groups address sex in a non-judgmental manner, which is important to keeping conversation about sex open, she says."
Well this is confusing given the highly sexual nature of the fund raiser....does this really promote abstinence? The other benefit reportedly is to portray Ottawa's sexy side and when ..."people see us, they think that they can be sexy too" So which is it...non judgmental sex, promote sexiness and abstinence?? Kinda of like the eat all you want diet....doesn't work!!"The money will be used for programming such as Planned Parenthood’s educational theatre troupe support services, which is run by a group of senior students who create, direct and present a play to peers about issues such as body image, pregnancy and abstinence.
