"It's already clear what they don't want — dangerous abstinence-only sex education that the Bush administration is sinking millions of dollars into. One thing that's clear from the TASH program is that teens are a lot smarter than that.
I'd like to know what's so 'dangerous' about teaching children to respect the bodies of others, to respect the 'temple of the Holy Spirit.' Will someone die because of abstinence? Will there be tragic breakups of families because of abstinence? I really would like to know why Planned Parenthood continually insists that abstinence is dangerous.
Perhaps abstinence is dangerous because it threatens much of Planned Parenthood's funding: if people stop trying to get condoms, abortions and other so-called 'health services' from Planned Parenthood, I don't think Planned Parenthood could remain a viable organization. But Planned Parenthood forgot to add a line saying "abstinence is dangerous for our funding."
"Carol Everett owned and operated several abortion clinics in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for six years. "The abortion industry is not about choices; it's about money," Everett says. "(It) is a skillfully marketed product sold to a woman at a crisis time in her life."
And sell they do. The last month she was in business, Everett made $13,625. She received $25 per abortion. In addition, the abortionist usually makes 20-50 percent of the total cost and can perform 10-12 abortions per hour. "Remember, (the clinics) sell abortions - they don't sell keeping the baby or giving up the baby for adoption or delivering the baby."
