Planned Parenthood has filed a lawsuit aimed at keeping teens' abortions secret from their parents.
For 40 years, legislators in Nevada have fought to enforce their law prohibiting abortionists from ending pregnancies in underage girls until their parents are at least notified.
Planned Parenthood is having none of it. They have filed a suit that would allow them to carry on with their "secret" abortions.
Once again, the evil face of Planned Parenthood is looming over families.
And if they do it in Nevada, they'll do it in your state as well.
Beware.
Be informed, not misled.
The lawsuit introduction gets right to the point, which is eliminating parental involvement in their underage daughters' decision regarding whether or not to get an abortion: "For over forty years, unmarried or unemancipated adolescents have been allowed and trusted to decide whether to seek an abortion or continue carrying a pregnancy to term without forced parental involvement or judicial authorization for either decision."
The suit states, "Plaintiff Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Inc.1 ('PPMM') is a California nonprofit corporation licensed to operate in Nevada that is dedicated to investing in communities by providing health care and education through its health centers in mid-California and Nevada."
Jordan Boyd says, "Shortly after Nevada’s Republican-led legislature passed the parental notification law in 1985, it was scrutinized by a federal district court and later put on permanent hold by the 9th Circuit. After decades of judicial roadblocking that was later derailed by the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, however, the law is on the brink of enforcement for the first time."
She continues, "Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, hoping to preserve their years-long record of performing abortions on underage girls without their parents’ knowledge, however, is using the state’s recently passed constitutional amendments to argue that the law is not eligible to be imposed."
In its lawsuit, Planned Parenthood pretends that keeping parents in the loop about their daughter’s pregnancy and potential abortion is a radical requirement. The abortion facility even painted a carve-out that allows girls to circumvent the law with judicial bypass as “hazy” and “inadequate.”
Instead, Planned Parenthood claimed that girls can choose to rely on other so-called “trusted adults” to inform their decision without the force of the law and suggested that doing so is just as good as letting their legal guardians weigh in.
This is a favorite tool of the Left--divide families and steal their children. The LGBTQIA+, the "trans", and the Leftist movement practice this art all the time.
So do cults.
Lenin once said, "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
He also said, "Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."
Planned Parenthood is telling parents to get out of the way. They, better than the parents, know what is good for the child. And their bottom line.
There is a thread of focus on the children that runs through the Leftist, cultural Marxist worldview that is obsessed with stealing our children psychologically and spiritually.
“The Parental Notification and Judicial Bypass provisions’ requirements, by operation, will delay abortion access for patients subjected to the statute, resulting in increased medical risks, physical and psychological harms, particularly if the delays result in forcing a minor to continue carrying a pregnancy to term against their will,” the lawsuit states.
In the same breath, it argues that pro-life protections like parental notification laws can cause girls “harm.” Planned Parenthood declared that abortion, even when induced via mifepristone, “is a very safe procedure with exceedingly low rates of complications.”
Studies show, however, that abortion — whether by scalpel or pill—kills babies and leaves physical, mental, and emotional scars on women. The risk of that toll is even bigger for girls, whose bodies and minds are not yet fully developed. Protections that require parents’ involvement in a minor’s pregnancy, on the other hand, are shown to reduce teen female suicide rates.
Jordan Boyd writes, "This is not the first time abortion providers and activists have twisted state constitutions to target parents’ rights. In Missouri, pro-abortionists who promised during the election that parental consent laws were safe used the state’s new unlimited abortion constitutional amendment to go after those safeguards."
Takeaway
Psalm 139:13-16:
"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." This passage highlights God's active role in creation, even in the womb, emphasizing the value of life from its earliest stages.
Jeremiah 1:5:
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." This verse, while referring to a specific calling, also affirms God's knowledge and purpose for individuals before birth, further supporting the value of pre-born life.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Prayerful.
