  1. Abortion also gives you a 40% chance of getting breast cancer. (Birth control pills, the world's other alternative, increases the chance of breast cancer by 3.7 to 4.2 times.)

    I've been trying to find a doctor for my teenage daughters that won't push these things on them.

    HIPAA has tied parents' hands behind their backs, that's why your statistics are so high. Doctors are required by law to let teenage girls know they can offer them these services without parents knowing. When my children turn 14, my insurance company sends me a letter letting me know I can no longer manage their health accounts because of privacy.

    It's an ugly world we live in. Parents have to be vigilant in the Word of God and prayer, asking the Lord to navigate us through the wicked waters of these times.

    Didn't mean to vent....:) but thanks for letting me!
