Just in case the 40% abortion rate in NYC is not high enough for the money-driven abortion industry and Planned Parenthood, New York City Department of Health and Hygiene is promoting a new app on their NYC teen website. The app, available in Apple and Google online stores, will direct teens to abortion facilities, Plan B, Birth Control, LGBTQ services, and STD testing. All this is done in confidence and with the assurance that “parents never need to know.”
Upon opening the app for the first time, the user is assured that “Teens in NYC…have the right to sexual health services without permission from parents, girlfriends, boyfriends, or anyone else.”
The app uses the GPS capabilities on the minor’s phone to guide them to sex-facilities. On the “Where to Go” section, the app finds the teens current location and guides him/her to the nearest “Health Center” where the teen can obtain contraceptives, the morning after pill, plan B, an abortion, or STD testing without parental permission.
The “What to Expect” section on the app features YouTube videos of minors talking about their experiences with sex and “family planning” facilities. All videos use the tagline, “always use a condom and another form of birth control”.
The interest that the NYC department of Health and Hygiene has in promoting and allowing sexual health services and abortions, without parental permission, to minors is money. Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry have a stake in promoting teen sex. Teen sex leads to unwanted pregnancies. Unwanted pregnancies lead to abortions, and Planned Parenthood gets more money for abortions than anything else. Parents, unlike the government, are the most likely to discourage teenage sex. Parents, unlike the government, are the most likely people to know what their kids can handle and protect them from information and services that they are not mentally and emotionally ready for. Parents are not the bad guys. The bad guy here is the city government that is trying to usurp parental rights and break down the parent child relationship by encouraging minors to get involved sexually while keeping that knowledge secret from their parents. The teen/parent relationship is the most important to the child at this time in their life!
Just in case, one is deceived into believing that this government provided app is there to provide information and help teens where the parents will not, let’s look at some services teens and minors cannot receive without parental permission:
- Vaccinations
- School Field Trips
- Ibuprofen, allergy and asthma medication at school
- Library Cards
- Ear Piercing
- Tanning Beds
And what about all of the things government has made illegal for minors despite parental permission before certain ages:
- Email and Facebook before 13
- A part time job before 15 or 16
- Babysitting for family or neighbors before 12, but at 11 girls can get an abortion without parental permission
- Driver’s License before 16
- Tobacco before 18
- Voter registration before 18
- Alcohol before 21
