Part one of this article looked at the rise in mental illness in our culture, especially the youth. The question is, where does it come from and why? Looking at the overwhelming influencers, namely teachers and social media, it begs the question of what has changed and who started it.

The Left and Teenage Mental Illness: Bug or Feature? (Part 1)
It can be difficult to look at the political left and ascertain just what is going on in their minds. Much of what they say they are about involves looking out for the oppressed, leveling the economic playing field, teaching people to be more tolerant of those outside of the norm, and helping children learn and feel more safe, among other things.
Rise Up New Hampshire – a Conversation With Teens on the Pandemic (And the Response)
Rise Up New Hampshire (www.riseupnh.org) is organizing a conversation with teens (13 to 19 years old), to give them a platform to share their personal experiences with the pandemic – school, family, friends, masking, social distancing, etc.
Did Rosemarie Rung Say “the only unnatural sex act for young teens is celibacy”?
Many years ago, current Democrat Rep. Rosemarie Rung was just a Merrimack School Board member. And I can’t tell you how many people have told me that period in her political career is a gold mine. And someone just shared a nugget!
Nashua Public Library Introduces “Drag Queen Teen Time”
The Nashua Public library is holding a special event for local teens on January 12th. It’s called Drag Queen Teen Time. When a curious resident emailed the Library to learn more, they did, indeed learn more. Cornerstone Action reports the response. The Drag Queen Teen Time that we have planned for January is not a drag … Read more
Supporting A Corrupt Business
Would you stand up in a public hearing and defend an organization implicated in aiding illegal activity, sexual abuse, statutory rape and sex trafficking? What kind of people would? How about democrats, union members, and greedy corporate stooges on the take? (oh, my!)
If it was anyone but Planned Parenthood, the national media sensation that admits it has a ‘training’ problem, the professional left would be storming the castle not just to demand why taxpayer dollars were begin given to these criminals, but when the bastards were going to be rounded up and put on trial.
There would be bus loads of angry folks protesting outside executives homes, harassing staff and customers.
Left wing bloggers, even at that sad little web site Blue Hampshire, would be disconnecting their brains from their keyboard, bellowing about the injustice and abuse, the violation of civil rights, and another destructive association by a political party full of hateful bigots and misogynists who view women as second class citizens. A few of them might even ponder running a few people down in the crosswalk.
But this is Planned Parenthood, a national business, a big business, that makes plenty of money while using its status as a “health care provider” to milk taxpayers for money it does not even need. And there are still a few people here in New Hampshire willing to stand up and say incredibly stupid things in defense of a business model that seems incapable of protecting the interests of the young girls it claims to champion from a life as an underage sex slave.
What It Means To Support Planned Parenthood
Progressive-liberal democrats will present themselves at the hearing for HB 228 on Tuesday February 8th to advocate for the continued public funding of Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire. So maybe we should ask what it is they could be advocating?
Planned Parenthood has been implicated in a willingness to conceal sex trafficking, hide abortions performed on minors and prostitution.
Trafficking illegal immigrant minors in the sex trade.
And allowing the sexual abuse of minors including statutory rape without consistent and prompt reporting to the proper authorities.
Now I am not claiming that Planned Parenthood in New Hampshire or New England is complicit in any of these acts specifically, though they may be, I cannot say. But they are guilty by association and it is that association that by itself should exclude them from any taxpayer funded support of any kind–particularly for those who think giving tax dollars to an abortion mill is not reason enough.
Planned Parenthood is guilty at the very least for failing to ingrain in their corporate, medical and professional culture the need to protect and defend the lives and bodies of these young girls, these children, in every office, in every community they serve, before any other corporate, professional or ideological objective.
That has not been the case and those who advocate for them should be considered complicit.
Picture Of The Day 1-9-2011
Some pictures come with stories. Today’s picture of the day has a story. But as with all stories it appears to have been embellished. So I have edited out the parts that may not be accurate. I edited them out because the picture is compelling without them, and they would only serve as a distraction.
It is a picture taken during surgery on a 21 week old fetus. It is one of dozens of procedures already performed on unborn babies. Babies who could spend another 19 weeks in the womb before birth.
It is compelling because this is a surgical procedure in the womb to help a baby. This is not surgery on a lump of tissue. It is a tiny person. The picture is it’s own story.
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother’s womb.
Little Samuel’s mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner’s remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

Did you Question Those ‘Declining’ Teen-Mother Birth Rates?
The day after we celebrated the birth of Christ the Nashua Telegraph treated us to a report that birth rates among teens had declined. If you poked around beyond the confines of the Telegraph piece you would discover that New Hampshire was one of the states leading the way. And there were some very amusing thoughts on the decline, but no one even suggested an increase in chemical or surgical abortions as a cause.
