What's next? Doctor holds up brand new baby. Said baby has a penis. Doctor says "Congratulations! Inside the body of this baby boy is a beautiful baby girl!"

More than likely in the future the Doctor will hold up the boy child and say, " Didn't you want a girl?" I can cut the crank off this kid for another $5,000.00

What does any of this have to do with giving medical treatment as a non-profit? Wouldn't this be way beyond their calling - proof they do not need taxpayer funds?

Yea, because in your mind all they do is preform abortions, How about they make information available for parents, churches, guardians, single and married folks who need that information that some folks just don't, would't or can't talk about, Sex...

I didn't even mention abortions in the context of this thread :lol:

You didn't even come close to answering the meat of my question, though; if PP is a health clinic, why do they need to be involved in whether or not a 4 year old is confused about his/her gender? That does not sound like a health clinic, that sounds amazingly like sexual activism.

You can't tell me this is because the parents won't talk to the kids about it - we're talking about 4 year olds here. It's not like the 4 year old is going to pick up a pamphlet on his/her way home from the library.

This is not about health clinic work, this is about activism. I can't see any other way around it.

I don't see anything wrong with PP providing info. I'd like to know that they aren't only performing abortions. But if that's what they are going to do, they need to keep the focus on education for preteens, teens and adults. 4 year olds do NOT need sexual or gender education. They've just barely discovered the concept of coloring inside the lines to get the gold star on their homework and not to pick their boogers in public, ffs.

It's not that they pick them, it's what they do with them once picked.

I believe its for Parental Information, Not many 4 yr olds surfing the web. I'm not saying i believe in everything Planned Parenthood does, But if the kids aren't educated at home, they are gonna get educated on the school bus. And that generally starts at 5 yrs old.

Absolutely, this is true. But what is typically taught by one 5 year old to another? I remember, and this was a LONG time ago of course, 5 and 6 year olds telling each other that necking could get you pregnant because you caught cooties. The years of sexual exploration, gender identification and individuality occur during the adolescent development.

How is gender determination the task of a health clinic, unless it is mental health?

Generations before this one found out about sex as they went along.
Most of us turned out pretty good.
Most of us still have the genitals we were born with, and we produced the next generation.

This generation is the first to really put a lot of time into trans-genders and LGBTQ's
Maybe it's best we learn on our own.

Hey, I'm all for advancing the knowledge of the civilization. If people can't accept themselves for who they are and need to cut themselves up to be something different (all while asking us to accept who they've become instead of who they were), that's up to them.

But, if you're being funded to provide basic health care, why are you in activism? This is clearly activism.
