On the legislative level these SBHC need a vote by the Department of Public Health's committee members to receive state funding. Once inside the SBHC a parent looses his or hers parental rights and the student no longer has to inform his or her parents about what is being perscibed or where the child may be reffered, ie., Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Portland.<BR/> The DPH along with PPNNE get their conraceptives and devices for a fraction of the cost unlike the retail stores, Wal-Mart for example, so it will be the DPH, PPNNE, and the Drug companies who profit from teen promiscuity and the dispensing of contaceptives to teens. The youth are targeted as PPNNE's future clients. <BR/> PPNNE does not stand to make any money if the health class teaches Abstience-Only and that is why PPNNE does not promote AO and it is rarely mentioned although they must mention it once in passing for state and federal funding by law. <BR/> The Board of Education on the local level in each district must vote to give middle school children access to contrceptives and surgical abortion referrals to PPNNE in each SBHC.<BR/> That's why the public has to fight to get PPNNE sponsored sex-ed out of their local school districts and not stop until they do and must elect pro-life BOE members.<BR/> Tom is my brother by the way.<BR/> In the Lord who Is Life,<BR/>Mary Anne<BR/>Stopp Planned Parenthood Representative of Connecticut<BR/>stoppct@aol.comStopp Planned Parenthood of Connecticuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087537777564398985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-47651074292859656842007-10-18T21:44:00.000-04:002007-10-18T21:44:00.000-04:00Wow what a great conversation with your students. ...Wow what a great conversation with your students. It is pretty sad that kids can figure out that surveys by kids are unreliable. What is with the Portland School district? Schools want more parent involvement in their kids life but yet here they are encouraging them to be deceitful with there parents. How crazy is that. <BR/><BR/>What is more upsetting is that why in heavens name do they want to push more decisions on children that could not even begin to understand the medical side affects that could put a childrens life at risk. And then if a child ends up having a bad reaction to a pill and the parents don't even know that the child is on them to inform the doctor, wow. <BR/><BR/>Well if that school district does not get a lawsuit filed againts it, I would be shocked. <BR/><BR/>Parents all over the <BR/>county need to speak out about this, not just the parents of this school district.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-31695623825783760562007-10-18T18:57:00.000-04:002007-10-18T18:57:00.000-04:00Tom,I think it's a sad day for Maine.Parents shoul...Tom,I think it's a sad day for Maine.Parents should have the right to know if their kids are getting these birth contol pills.Maybe the Portland School Committee is getting money from the drug makers, the more pills given out,the more money they get to buy books or fix up some schools.Tom these are my rambling thoughts.
