Anti-Abortion Propaganda in Schools

[In It to Win It]

One of the anti-abortion movement’s biggest problems is generational: Young people are the most pro-choice demographic in the country. According to Pew, 74% of adults under 30 believe abortion should be legal in most or all circumstances, and nearly 40% believe abortion should be legal in all circumstances. A 2023 poll from Harvard University’s Institute of Politics found that adults under 30 were twice as likely to describe themselves as ‘pro-choice’ than ‘pro-life.’

The anti-abortion movement knows that their support is dying, literally. That’s why activists and lawmakers are ramping up their efforts to indoctrinate children as early as possible—not just in churches or through religious schools, but in public school classrooms.

This week, Kentucky Republican Rep. Nancy Tate introduced a bill that would require public middle schools to teach “human growth and development” by showing students a video by Live Action, one of the most extremist anti-abortion organizations in the country. Yes, that Live Action—the group best-known, of all things, for producing deceptive videos.

Not only would Kentucky schoolchildren be required to watch the anti-abortion video, schools that decline to teach it could be punished. The bill allows the state Attorney General to bring civil action against any public school district that refuses to use the video in their health class, and allows parents to do the same.

3. Will parents have the ability to not allow their children to see this crap?

Probably not. But parents rights!!

4. The whole parents' rights claim is a sham.

Only white parents have the right to determine what history is taught in Republican states. Only white parents get to decide which books all schoolchildren are allowed to read.

But even white parents have no rights when it comes to getting medical care for their transgender children. Ignorant state politicians have decided that it doesn’t matter what the parents of those children want, the state will take away their parental rights and decide that those kids get no care. Red states are now also trying to take away parental rights when teens or preteens get pregnant from any cause, including incest and rape. They are criminalizing the act of parents, or anyone else, taking a child across state lines to have an abortion, punishable by 5-10 years in jail. These people are starting to make the Taliban look like moderates. They obviously do not care what happens to the children.
