Parents in Pennsylvania (PA) are being
warned to watch for attempts by Planned Parenthood (PP) to set up shop in the
state’s high schools.
AccessMatters, a PP affiliate, had sought
since last August to convince officials in Reading PA to grant permission to
set up a PP-run counseling center in Reading High School. Parents and others knowledgeable of the abortion
giant’s sex-ed program turned out in force, and the school board voted 5-4
against it.
Diane Gramley of the American Family
Association (AFA) of PA says while the center wouldn’t have offered abortions,
it could have facilitated them quite easily.
“The Planned Parenthood there in Reading is only two miles from the
school,” Gramley points out. She contends
that for questions or concerns the in-school center couldn’t handle, students
would almost certainly be referred to the PP right down the road from Reading
High. Although the proposal failed by a
narrow vote, it could arise again – so Gramley encourages residents to remain
alert. “This is the first school that I
know of that’s been approached by AccessMatters or anyone affiliated with
Planned Parenthood to allow abortion counselors in the schools,” Gramley says. “I don’t see it as being the only one and it
won’t be the last one.” Gramley adds
that parents should be concerned not only about such centers opening in high
schools, but also about their being funded by tax dollars.
