You have to wonder why the lefties are so adamant about keeping the parents in the dark.  Is it because they have better luck scaring a teenager into doing what they want when the parents aren’t around to help?

Plain common sense says that most parents are in the dark when their daughters get pregnant.

Plain common sense says that prenatal care makes for healthy babies.

Barriers to knowledge of pregnancy and prenatal care do not make sense.

Plain common sense says that girls who have engaged in unhealthy behavior while unknowingly pregnant risking the health of her child is more likely to have an abortion.

Plain common sense says that some parents will force their child to
have an abortion when they find their
child pregnant.

A vote against knowledge is a vote for ignorance, for babies and mothers with health problems.

Baloney woof, this is about talking the girl into getting an abortion when her folks aren’t around.

It’s a shame you have to lie about it.

Whistle are you saying that a girl has to go to an abortion clinic to find if she is pregnant?
Bill did not seem to restrict access to medical care.

Woofie, I hate to tell you this, but the girls buy their pregnancy tests at Target.

Whistle, I hate to tell you this,
but there are girls who get pregnant
and have NOmoney.

Sorry woof, but when a young man and a young woman are about to become parents, who is better placed for them to ask for advice than their own parents—the soon-to-be grandparents?

A school counselor? Or maybe some total stranger who makes their living based on the number of babies aborted by the paid assassins at planned parenthood?  Yeah, they’re going to give the best advice for all involved…

But first maybe we should check to see whether these people think “mankind is a blight upon the planet”, or “the earth is too overpopulated already”, or “why would any poor young woman ruin her life by having another mouth to feed"… or maybe we could just give them the short form:  “do you vote for democrats?”

You would deny health care to some people and some babies, because of what some other people might do.

Whistler, I know that I must sound like a broken record in this regard, but the long-range Leftist plan to destroy the society by attacking it at the molecular level—destroy the bonds and loyalties that make it strong—relationships between man and woman, husband and wife, between parents and children, between worshiper and their church, and between citizen and government.

Thus the feminists have worked hard and have become very successful in exploiting the natural tensions between men and women.  As a result, illegitimacy is at an all-time high, marriages, when they happen, fail about 50 percent of the time, our Heroes and Founders are denigrated as slave-owning hypocrites, and children are taught to disrespect and even rat out their parents.

Orwell discussed this in 1984, every totalitarian government has seized control of the children from the time they could become Young Pioneers or Hitler Youth, and chillingly, Janet Reno’s DOJ’s Childrens’ webpage encouraged them to rat on their parents if they expressed Un-PC thoughts.

With those children, he thought, that wretched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it. The songs, the processions, the banners, the hiking, the drilling with dummy rifles, the yelling of slogans, the worship of Big Brother—it was all a sort of glorious game to them. All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children. And with good reason, for hardly a week passed in which The Times did not carry a paragraph describing how some eavesdropping little sneak—‘child hero’ was the phrase generally used—had overheard some compromising remark and denounced its parents to the Thought Police.

And the architect of the Socialist Long March through the Institutions, Antonio Gramsci:

“In the life of children there are two very clear-cut phases, before and after puberty. Before puberty the child’s personality has not yet formed and it is easier to guide its life and make it acquire specific habits of order, discipline, and work: after puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious, tyrannical, insufferable. Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late: then of course the stick and violence enter the scene and yield very few results indeed. Why not instead take an interest in the child during the first period?”

and

To destroy loyalty to the State all manner of forbidding for youth must be put into effect so as to disenfranchise them as members of the Capitalist state and, by promises of a better lot under Communism, to gain their loyalty to a Communist movement..... bringing about and supporting propaganda to destroy the home, creating and continuous juvenile delinquentcy, forcing upon the state all manner of practices to divorce the child from it will in the end create chaos necessary to Communism.

Under the saccharine guise of assistance to them, rigorous child labor laws are the best means to deny the child any right in society. By refusing to let him earn, by forcing him into unwanted dependence upon a grudging parent, by making certain in other channels that the parent is never in other than economic stress, the child can be driven in his teens into revolt. Delinquency will ensue.

By making readily available drugs of various kinds, by giving the teen-ager alcohol, by praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex literature and advertising to him or her practices as taught at the Sexpol, the psychopolitical operator can create the necessary attitude of chaos, idleness and worthlessness into which can then be cast the solution which will give the teen ager complete freedom everywhere—Communism.

Am I the only one who sees a certain, pathetically tragic irony in a supporter of abortion voicing concern about health care for babies?
