From Caffinated Thoughts
(Washington, DC) Contrary to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America public relations and lobbying message, there is no correlation with PPFA community presence and reduced teen pregnancy. In contrast, teen pregnancies actually decreased with the absence of PPFA.
…the source is the official records of 16 counties within the Texas panhandle,” said Rita Diller, national director of ALL’s STOPP International project. “From 1994 through 2010, Planned Parenthood facilities in these counties went from 19 to zero. In the same period, the teen pregnancy rate dropped almost in half, from 43.6 per 1,000 to 24.1 per thousand, and the population of teen girls aged 13-17 remained stable. Those aren’t our numbers; those are government numbers.”
Here in New Hampshire there are no record keeping requirements with regard to abortion (that I am aware of) that would allow us to even measure social, cultural, or any data at all, compared to any other set of data.
And it appears intentional. It’s a big secret; so big that proponents don’t even want the parents to know, as if they are afraid we might see something that will work against the narratives they have relied on to justify calling killing babies a right.
Something like teen pregnancy rates dropping by half in the absence of a “an easy out.”
