Planned Parenthood Targets Kids

 

World's largest abortion provider luring teenagers with MySpace page.

Planned Parenthood is stalking your kids on the Internet, securing a home on the popular social-networking site MySpace.com to spread its pro-abortion rhetoric -- particularly pushing "emergency contraception."

Just last month, in fact, Planned Parenthood held an "Free EC Day" during which more than 350 centers nationwide handed out doses of emergency contraceptives, also known as the morning-after pill.

With kids as young as 14 able to sign up for an account at My Space, family advocates like Danielle Huntley, president of Students for Life of America, are concerned.

"In some sense it shows their genius as a propaganda machine and as a seller of lies and deceit," she said. "(Planned Parenthood's message) is convincing to someone who is not well-schooled on the issue, who isn’t being supervised, who doesn’t know much about being pro-life and what abortion actually does to children and women."

Doug Scott, president of Life Decisions International, said the MySpace campaign is just one more way of getting around parental influence.

"Planned Parenthood takes any opportunity it can to spread its deadly message," he said. "And with a lot of young people – even 10-year-olds, a lot of teenagers, people in their early twenties -- on MySpace, that’s where they want to be and that’s certainly where they are."

That’s why Huntley said it's important to be proactive against Planned Parenthood’s tactics.

"We really have to make sure we are on the cutting edge with our outreach through technology," she told Family News in Focus. "So we really need to be as technologically savvy -- and even more so than Planned Parenthood and friends."
