Planned Parenthood and Rape
January 24, 2008 — wickleI have more or less outgrown the phase of my life when I called Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortuary business, “Planned Barrenhood.” I have also given up certain hysterical claims, or at least certain dated ones.
However, Phill Kline, the former Attorney General of Kansas, notes that Planned Parenthood helps defend and protect those guilty of statutory rape. Girls as young as 13, he notes, receive “services” from Planned Parenthood, thus enabling their (often much-older) boyfriends to continue the relationships.
Planned Parenthood doesn’t report these rapists, because doing so might prevent girls from coming to them for “care.” Planned Parenthood doesn’t believe that child molestors should be stopped, or that parents have a right to know what surgeries are being performed on their children.
Abortion is so sacred to them that everything else has to be subordinated — parental rights, statutory rape, and anything else that might interfere with this (apparently) most-important right of all. That right, of course, is the right to run a profitable abortion industry.
There is very little that I can imagine that’s worse than sexually abusing a young girl. Making money by turning a blind eye to the abuse and pretending it doesn’t happen might well be in that very small category.

Planned Parent does a lot of good… and then they do things such as this, which is very harmful. I am really torn on them.
I wish there was an organization that does the good they do, without all the bad.
I can understand to some extent the argument against reporting things, however, I wish they would really counsel these girls and try to get them help - and if not their parents, then some other adult they are close to needs to be notified (lets’s face it, not all parents are good, so in some cases, notifying them might be more harmful then helpful).
There has to be a way to help these kids… while also not scaring them away. I think PP just takes the easy way out…
I also think it is so wrong that any minor can get medical treatment from PP (such as an aborortion or even birth control) without the parent beeing notified. For any other medical, parental permission is needed (even something simple as having stitches removed - I went through that one as my son was out of town when his were due to be removed), yet for something as important and life altering as an abortion (where the counsel of an adult is really important), no permission is needed - which is crazy and so wrong. And this is coming from someone who is not 100% Pro Life.

Obviously, there are bad parents. Almost every attempt that I know to put in parental notification laws has had some kind of a provision to get around that. However, those are the exception, hardly the rule.
Most of PP’s arguments work from rare exceptions and treat them as general rules. (I won’t even get started on rape, incest, and the life of the mother …)
I could go on and on and on … but I’m trying to stay on this one subject. PP makes a lot of money for its people and has a lot of political clout.
Sounds kind of like the military-industrial complex, doesn’t it?

Actually it does sound like the military-industrial complex, Wickle.
I really wish there was another ogranization that would do the good they do (the low cost exams) without all the other stuff (such as abortion) and would also inform parents/gaurdians… just like one has to do on every other medical procedure.

PP is the largest killer of innocent pre-born children
in the nation. I’m sure Hitler did a few “good”
things too in order to give a sheen to his murderous
persona.
I’m baffled how anyone can say that an org which
lures teens into immoral behavior so they can
make a profit killing their babies is good.

Hmmm abortion is cool and capital punishment inhumane…
I don’t get it…
ever watch an abortion? or a partial birth abortion?? I didn’t sleep well for months…

From the introduction to P. J. O’Rourke’s “Give War a Chance”:
“A callous pragmatist might favor abortion and capital punishment. A devout Christian would sanction neither. But it takes years of therapy to arrive at the liberal point of view.”
I’ve never watched an actual abortion. I’ve seen stills of the aftermath … and those have left me with just about enough horrible images. I know that the videos are around, but it’s sort of like the Nazi gas chambers, Muslim beheadings, and that sort of thing … I don’t need to see it, I know enough to know that it’s evil.
