Pro-life author George Grant interviewed 3 teenagers discussing how abortions among high school students rose when an in school sexual health clinic opened up in their school.
From Grant:
“Milly Washington, Lanita Garza, and Denise Rashad attended high school together in Minneapolis. 2 years ago, the district installed an experimental school-based clinic on their high school campus. “At first I thought it was a real good idea,” Denise told me.
“Yeah. Me too,” Lanita chimed in.
“I mean, there’s been lots of girls that’s left school cause they got in trouble,” said Denise, “and I believed this might help some.”
“But it hasn’t,” Milly said. “All it’s done is make it so gettin’ in trouble is normal now.”
“And with an easy way out,” Denise added.
“Yeah. Abortion. It’s weird, but you know, a couple of years ago, I didn’t know anybody who’d had an abortion,” said Milly. “Now it’s like everybody’s had at least one. Lots have 2. Or even more than that.”
