Seattle mom angry that school sent her daughter for a secret abortion

Story from Fox News.

Excerpt:

The mother of a 15-year old Seattle girl is furious because her daughter had an abortion with some assistance from the nurses at her school and she was never informed. She only found out after the fact when her daughter had an unrelated health problem and finally revealed she had terminated a pregnancy.

[…]According to the girl’s mother…  her daughter was given a pregnancy test at the school clinic which was positive. She was then told by the nurse that she could have an abortion at a nearby Planned Parenthood clinic without her parents’ knowledge.The girl was then called a taxi, which picked her up at the school and drove her by herself to Planned Parenthood. The mother says once at the clinic a Planned Parenthood worker discouraged her daughter from informing her parents. She claims the worker told her that if she kept quiet the procedure would be free, but if she told her parents they would have to pay for the abortion.

[…]A King County Health official would not speak about any of the details surrounding the case, but did say that no laws were broken. In Washington State a girl of any age can get an abortion without her parent’s being notified.

Public schools have zero respect for parents. Why should they? They don’t get paid more for pleasing customers. They get paid more by getting Democrats elected. The needs of parents and children are irrelevant.

  1. I think this is awful.

    What other surgery is performed on minors that parents don’t know about? Probably none.

    So why the heck can schools get away with doing this to pregnant girls.

    I guess there’s a separate set of laws concerning pregnant girls than the rest of the student body? Do pregnant girls become wards of the state until the state makes them unpregnant?

  2. Having had an abortion, I can’t imagine what this girl was going through at 15 to cause her to be pregnant in the first place. This reflects badly on the state, badly on the school, and badly on her parents. I hope her parents take it as a lesson learned that she didn’t feel comfortable coming to them in the first place and that she needs to feel loved and protected by them, and that the school nurses learn to know their place in their students’ lives.

    1. McKenzie, with all due respect, there is a war on between public schools and parents over the children. Parents are the enemy of the public school establishment. And it’s even worse because parents are completely uninformed about what it going on in the schools. In many cases, they think that what ever the schools teach children is OK and normal.

      Even the Christian parents have abdicated their responsibility to teach their children. Christian parents sing on Sundays, pray before bedtime, and read the Bible. But they have no idea how the public schools cause their own children to pull away from God. One need only look at the public school curriculum, which pushes anti-Chrstians values onto the children for 7 hours of quality learning time per day. Christian students have secular worldviews. The only difference between Christian and non-Christian youth is that the Christians show up in church and youth group. And they stop church and youth group as soon as they arrive at university. The public schools are one of the main causes of this trend, along with parental naivete, and the decline of the male role in the home. (Either through absence or coercion)

      I recommend reading a few books on public education, etc. You will not like what you find out.

      Here are a few articles to get you started:

      Naturalism in the schools

      Sex education in the schools
      Failure to teach skills
      Teacher unions
