Special delivery from Planned Parenthood

[Denise_Shae]

Actually they are working on it. Several public schools in my county have state clinics run INSIDE the school instead of a school nurse. They are mostly in the lower-income communities at this point and supposedly they won’t use the clinic doctors for your kids w/o permission, but… well I’m not buying it. They market it as convience for the parents and kids. Kid sick at school? You don’t have to leave work, we’ve got a dr right here! Need a sports physical? Doctor is right here! But it’s easy to see it spilling over…

Need birth control? Down the hall and to the right.
We think you’re abusing your chid’s right to decide their medical needs? Medical opinion from our friends right across the hall.
We think your kid needs ADHD meds because we’re sick of dealing with him? Well that dr over there agrees and can give the pill every morning before classes start.

okay seriously I’m going off-line now.

RE: We think you’re abusing your child’s right to decide their medical needs? Medical opinion from our friends right across the hall.

You said it all with that one word: “child”, which equals Minor – not mature or educated enough to be able to decide his/her medical needs. That’s why they have parents or legal guardians.

Since my daughter started public school over a year ago, all I’ve been hearing about are her rights; her opinions, her decisions, her ability to think for herself, etc.

It seems like the agenda of the Public School system is to undermine the authority of parents and guardians.

Honestly, if I we could afford it, she’d be out of PS and in a Catholic HS, in the blink of an eye.

We’re already having trouble with her. Defiance is number one on the list.

God Bless!

Welcome to Planned Parenthood’s Online Health Center. Here you can order Birth Control and Emergency Contraception without leaving your own private space.

To order your prescription Birth Control or Emergency Contraception you will need to:

1. Create a new account or access your current Planned Parenthood account (above).
2. Fill out an online form with information about your health - it should take ten minutes.
3. About one day after you have filled out and submitted the online health form (except Saturdays and Sundays), a Planned Parenthood nurse will call you to go over your health history.
4. The nurse will ask you how you want to get your Birth Control or Emergency Contraception - you can choose to have it delivered to your house, phoned into a pharmacy, or to pick it up yourself at nearest Planned Parenthood health center.

How can anyone practice medicine like this? Aren’t they worried about lawsuits?

Anyone seen this yet?! For any parents of teens–look what your kids can now get in the mail, without a medical exam, without a prescription, without your permission:
instantbirthcontrol.com/

…and they can send it on to all their friends’ e-mails. Compliments of our friends @ Planned Parenthood.

We don’t have those, but we do have PP express centers. I heard an ad on the radio over the weekend.

"Express Centers offer a confidential, affordable way to get the birth control you need. When you visit a Planned Parenthood Express

• A specially-trained clinician will take your blood pressure,
• Ask you for a brief history, identifying any risks you may have,
• And prescribe the best birth control method for you - all in the same visit and without requiring a pelvic exam."

I honestly have no idea.

I wish I had a lawyer in the family so I could find out.

Like I stated before; there’s gotta’ be some legal loophole that would allow/provide for this. I just don’t have a clue as to what it could be.

God Bless!

AGAIN it is only legal in 2 states perhaps it was something voted on or passed by their legislative houses. Isn’t it legal in oregon for assisted suicide as well?

I don’t even think this is a religous issue at these ages. It’s just common sense and a health issue.

That’s why I don’t understand why more feminists wouldn’t be up in arms about this. Even if a person thinks abortion is morally OK, or that ABC is acceptable, what parent wants their child to have a major medical procedure or the ability to get a prescription drug without parental notification or consent?

I also want to know what other drugs I can get prescriptions for by solely having this sort of online consultation. Are there any others? If not, why is BC allowed to be prescribed that way?

Think about it.

For the sake of your question, I’m going to call myself a feminist. And I also have a daughter.

As a feminist, I wouldn’t have a problem with ABC or abortion, therefore, if my teenage daughter informed me that she was sexually active and wanted to go on the Pill, I’d take her to the OBGYN, myself.

Looking at it that way, one can understand why a feminist wouldn’t be overly concerned about the issue.
It wouldn’t concern her or her daughter.

Oh, and for the record: I am not now, never have been and never will be a feminist.

God Bless!

I haven’t waded through all the posts so I’d like to know, exactly what form of birth control are they offering? Pills? Condoms? Morning After Pill? Emergency contraception in case of rape?

I don’t know.

When I went to the site and entered in my zip code, along with the zip codes in my surrounding my area, I got the following message:

"We’re sorry, but online birth control is not yet available in your area.
Please call 1-800-230-PLAN to find a Planned Parenthood Health Center near you."

It doesn’t allow me to go any further than that.

God Bless!

ONLY AVAILABLE IN WASHINGTON AND OREGON

Yes, I’m well aware of that. I saw it in your original post here.

I was responding to Sandi’s questions; letting her know that since this “service” in not available in or around my area, I was unable to enter the site in order to see how they go about doing this.

It wasn’t necessary to use a size “4” Font. My eyes aren’t that bad…yet.

God Bless!

"We’re sorry, but online birth control is not yet available in your area. "

Yes, it’s only in 2 states so far. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be a concern for those in other states. In fact, better to make it a concern now than wait until it’s at our doorstep.** **

 

[maria29]

Sorry about the large font…i accidently changed it when i went to post and then my toddler had woke up from his nap

But I reposted it the 3rd time because no one seemed to respond to the fact and i wasn’t sure people saw it…I totally agree that IT SHOULD BE A CONCERN and thats why too i also posted that it seems to be something that was voted on,since i know oregon has legal assisted suicide but maybe someone from those 2 states could enlighten us. also you can access the site even if you don’t live in those two states, it just won’t let the order go through.If y’all would like i can post the link here. Sorry about offending people, didn’t mean to at all… …

Hi Maria,

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I wasn’t offended; just confused and frustrated thining I wasn’t being understood, correctly.

I hope you and your family had a Happy and Holy Thanksgiving!

God Bless!

How awful. I agree with Martha. It is just not common sense to allow minors to “order” medicine over the internet. I don’t care what type of medication it is. How irresponsible of PP. I know of women who have had strokes and other serious health related issues from taking birth control pills. Those are no small “side effects”! I don’t think a teen girl would even think to tell an on-line “nurse” about family history or other medical conditions she might have that may increase her risk of these things. Very bad stuff:nope:

 

[apricot_yogurt]

They just don’t care do they?
When my friend reached her 16th birthday, and became “legal”, and despite not actually even having a boyfriend at the time went down to the local clinic to get the pill. I told her that since she smoked, and had a family history of blood clots, that she wouldn’t get it, as she would be considered high risk. HA! Ten minutes later she came out clutching a box of pills!
Unbelievable!

I just dont understand how there can be so little information on the site. I live in Washington so I could go forward and get to the full PP site through this, BUT the instantbirthcontrol site itself has zippo in terms of actual medical information
