I get a daily news letter from ProlifeAmerica.com and it turns out children went to planned parenting for a field trip.

This is morally wrong to do, why should children even have to know about abortion? This just makes me sick. To top that off if they do that field trip I DEMAND they should have to go to a Right To Life building if they are making them go to planned parenting. cry I'm disappointed how immoral our society is becoming!

Planned parentood does stuff other than abortion. If you read the article, they claim that they did not mention abortion in their presentation.

However, due to the fact that the still make money off of abortion, it wouldn't surprise me if it had a highly pro-choice bias. And I also dislike them as a company for making money off abortion.

First, I think they went to Planned Parenthood.

Because it's a fact of life?

Because it's part of comprehensive sex education?

Because then they might be disgusted by the idea and work to prevent it from happening, maybe? Ever thought of that?

Planned Parenthood, btw, is not just a propaganda machine encouraging girls to have abortions. stare

Planned Parenthood helps out people who can't afford birth control at store prices, test for STDs, and pregnancy. What's wrong with students going to a facility that supports comprehensive sexual education? They are getting a better education than those who get the abstinence educations, which hurts more than it helps. I may not like it that they make money off of abortions but I'm not going to boycott them because of that.

I would... You can get birth control and pregnancy tests elsewhere.

That is disturbing to thing about. My child will never go to one just as I wont. Even if I can get free birth control... or discounted birth control. I can go to birth right just the same. Or to my doctor.

I personally hate PP, but if they refrained from mentioning abortion, I suppose the children wouldn't be hurt by sexual education.

Wouldn't it help the kids to be taught about abortion through a source that shows no emotional side, pro-choice or pro-life? So that they would have room to formulate their own views on the matter?

And, as questioned before, how old were these kiddies?

whee Kids aren't that fragile... Knowing about sex is okay, whether they're 4 or 14. I learned what abortion was when I was maybe 5, I was appalled but it didn't ruin my life.

Like Ebony said, as long as they're not teaching kids what to think about it...

It's very weird that they did that for a field trip... they could have just gone to Six Flags...

I rememer when I was little, we went to field trip to the hospital (my mom use to work at Loma Linda Medical Center), but nothing like planned parenting.
It's better if they just stuck to the hospital (they told us everything there, and showed us some things as well, like x-rays,ultra sounds,ect...so that way we learned things but it wasn't one sided).

What happened to field trips to Knots Berry farm or Sea World ( we also went to Universal...I remeber I was scared to go on the back draft thing cause I was scared of fire)?

it's the bias that makes it wrong. This is a controversial issue, and what the teacher was attempting to do was make kids comfortable with a very dominant force in the pro choice agenda, because, lets face it, any child who is told what abortion is without agenda or bias will find it revolting.
