American Life League Calls Out Schools for Allowing Abortion Vendor Access to Minors

(September 11, 2024 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) America’s largest abortion provider is present in schools across America, and American Life League is calling out education administrators for granting Planned Parenthood access to students. The pro-life education organization points to one example, in which International Planned Parenthood Federation’s Deliver Enable Toolkit shows teachers how to scale “comprehensive sexuality education” for children under age 10—presenting the exploitation of women through prostitution as a normal “interpersonal relationship.”
“Public schools are allowing the organization that killed almost 393,000 preborn children by abortion in 2023 unfettered access to thousands of elementary, middle, and high school students in their classrooms,” stated Katie Brown, American Life League’s national director, “and it is spending taxpayer dollars to do so.”
Planned Parenthood boasts on its website that it is the “nation’s largest provider of sex education.” Its 2023 annual report claims that it has reached “1.2 million people . . . through education programming, outreach, and training,” garnered three million views of its educational videos, and spent $53.9 million on sex education expenses.
The abortion vendor touts operation of more than 350 campus groups across the country, with a 2023 study reporting Planned Parenthood involvement at 76 Christian colleges.
At all ages, the curriculum includes information about sexual health and behavior, relationships and decision-making, and human development, which Planned Parenthood lists as “reproduction, puberty, sexual orientation, and gender identity.”
“Notably absent,” said Brown, “is any mention of chastity, expectant motherhood, fetal development, or parenting. Planned Parenthood teaches children to be sexually promiscuous so they will then need its abortion and birth control services later on.”
The taxpayer-funded abortion giant’s offerings for students vary from state to state:
- Sex Ed To-Go: Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest offer teachers free downloadable “Sex Ed To-Go” abortion curriculum for children as young as nine years old with 25- to 40-minute video sessions, including: How Abortion Works, a 40-minute course about “a common medical procedure”; Barriers to Abortion Care, a 30-minute course about how barriers to accessing abortion care can be “navigated”; and Supporting Abortion Access, a 25-minute course about how to be a “strong advocate for abortion access in your community.”
- Back to School with Planned Parenthood: Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central and Southern New Jersey’s feature entitled “Back to School with Planned Parenthood!” informs youth that “we’re always here for all your sexual and reproductive health needs.” It goes on to say, “Whether you need a wellness exam, are interested in birth control, want some free condoms (seriously – NSA), or just have questions, we have locations all across New Jersey.”
- Planned Parenthood Teachers in Public Schools: Planned Parenthood Los Angeles promotes its school presentations as facilitated by Planned Parenthood “educators” who have “extensive training and expertise in teaching sex education classes,” noting that they “work with several key schools across Los Angeles.”
- Helping Children Hide Abortions from Their Parents: Planned Parenthood of South, East and North Florida is one of multiple regional Planned Parenthood branches that direct minor girls to a detailed “Abortion Care for People Under 18” tutorial, providing step-by-step instructions for obtaining an abortion without parental knowledge or consent.
“What does it look like when Planned Parenthood presents sexual education?” asks Brown. “Unfortunately, it’s not about how God created our bodies uniquely male and female to bring children into the world. No, Planned Parenthood’s top services are abortion and birth control, clearly illustrating this organization’s complete lack of respect for the life that God created and total disregard for His plan for procreation and families. This is not an entity that anyone should ever trust to care for and instruct our precious children.”
American Life League has documented examples of the abortion vendor’s recent youth-focused programming.
“Our children are America’s most precious commodity,” shared Brown, “and we can’t let them be abused by an entity that views them as disposable fodder for an ideology that devalues them and their very existence by insisting that they are expendable before and up to the moment, even after, they are born. Allowing Planned Parenthood to teach our children about anything does these young ones a horrible—and deadly—disservice.”
Stop Planned Parenthood International (STOPP), American Life League’s Planned Parenthood watchdog group, regularly reports on the salaries, facilities, and programming of the abortion giant. STOPP urges concerned parents and community members to educate school officials about the unhealthy agenda and utter failure of PP sex education programs.
