“Pregnancy is not a disease cured by abortion,” said SFLA’s Kristan Hawkins. “There is a conflict of interest in allowing Planned Parenthood into schools in any form to market their deadly business.”
WASHINGTON D.C. (12-12-19) – In light of news that Planned Parenthood is opening “health centers” at 50 Los Angeles high schools, Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins made the following statement: “Planned Parenthood has been targeting younger and younger girls through their version of sex education, beginning as early as elementary school, which encourages people to make risky sexual choices. That’s how they make money – they profit from creating crisis through risky choices, then selling abortions to those same students. It’s no surprise that Planned Parenthood has sought out an even more direct line to vulnerable young people by infiltrating their schools.
Pregnancy is not a disease cured by abortion, no matter how many times Planned Parenthood tries to cover up their abortion business with a ‘healthcare’ label. This is a marketing ploy by the nation’s number one abortion vendor. There is a conflict of interest in allowing Planned Parenthood into schools in any form to market their deadly business, knowing that they will make millions from those who won’t know until it’s too late that Planned Parenthood does not care about them. They care about money.”
“We don’t let cigarette companies run “smoking education.” Why would we let an abortion sales team advise students about their sexual choices?”
Total student enrollment in the Los Angeles Unified School district is 734,640.
The enrollment at schools forced to install Planned Parenthoods is about 75,000.
