What I want to know, is who’s paying for this? I bet it isn’t PPH :eek:

Planned Parenthood and the Los Angeles Unified School District have teamed up in an unusual collaboration to reduce the number of unplanned teen pregnancies at Roosevelt High School.

Students can visit the on-campus health clinic to get free birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling and screening for sexually transmitted diseases – the first program of its kind in the country, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Birth rates among teenagers are down throughout California and Los Angeles County, but certain areas within the county, like the heavily Latino and low-income neighborhood around Roosevelt High School, buck that trend.

The school’s health center is separate from the school nurse’s office and also serves as a primary care clinic, according to the Times. However, about half of the visits this school year have been for reproductive health.

Roosevelt High School started offering contraception and counseling in 1997, but in 2006, that support from a local hospital ended and the school could no longer provide free contraceptives.

54% of women who got an abortion had used contraception at the time of conceiving. Using birth control to avoid pregnancy is ridiculous. And I bet Planned Parenthood do not tell the students about the medical side effects of those drugs.

California does not have a parental involvement law so any student can be given birth control and their parents are not told.
 
infiltrating schools…this is why homeschooling or Catholic schools is necessary for anyone with a MORAL CODE that they follow…

And I am sure it also includes abortion referrals and lies about fetal development.

A program run by the state government.
Medrano then reached out to Planned Parenthood, which now provides a medical assistant, the contraceptives and the pregnancy and STDs testing. The organization bills Family PACT, a public program that provides family planning to low-income and uninsured California residents.

Family PACT = Family Planning, Access, Care, Treatment

Abortion doesn’t seem to be covered.

So the largest abortion provider in the country is giving pregnancy tests on campus and you believe they will NEVER refer a woman with a positive test to one of their obortuaries?

No, I said the Family PACT program, which is paying Planned Parenthood for these clinic services, doesn’t seem to pay for abortions.

Which has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

PP has been promising fewer unplanned/unwanted pregnancies since the introduction of the pill [probably earlier but that’s the extent of my recollection]. All we’ve gotten in the last half century are more unplanned/unwanted pregnancies. Anyone see a pattern here?

Agreed.

The pill was supposed to make abortions rare to the point of being unknown.

:confused:

Bob, we are discussing a Los Angeles high school which invited Planned Parenthood to provide contraceptive and STD services in the school clinic. The OP asked how Planned Parenthood was being paid, so I provided a couple links regarding the state program which is funding these services.

I then noted that the program does not pay for abortion, since other members raised the issue of abortion.
 
There is no shortage of Catholic archbishops, bishops and auxiliary bishops in the area.

Have any of them taken a stand?

Instead, the state of California seems to be paying PP to have a saleswomen in the school at all times… Altho the state may not pay for the abortion, when a girl shows up pregnant at the PP clinic in the school, *what do you think they will tell her? *

And if she is on state insurance, which a lot of low-income people are, then will that pay for the abortion?

That is one of the problems of bringing in an outside organization to provide such services. The school district will have a hard time controlling the information and messages given.

I wonder if the school district forbids the discussion of abortion or if it is permitted (implicitly or explicitly.)
