Two radical Planned Parenthood bills filed in Mass. Legislature

Docket number: HD00999 - 44 co-sponsors

This is a re-filing of the same infamous Planned Parenthood bill filed over the last few sessions. It makes the Massachusetts Health Curriculum Frameworks -- an extremely radical document written by sex-ed and homosexual activists in 1999 -- the mandated legal guide for all health curriculum, textbooks, and instructional materials. The Health Curriculum framework includes extremely offensive and controversial mandates on homosexuality, abortion, intrusive psychological issues, sex education, and other topics. Moreover, it has required "objectives" for the various grade levels in elementary school through high school.

Here's our analysis of this bill, which we wrote when it was previously introduced in 2007.  Like that previous bill, this one also includes language from the current Parental Notification Law which has proven to be ineffective and no longer gives parents the necessary protections. (We have filed a bill this session to re-write that law.)

Here's our report on the hard-hitting pro-family testimony at the public hearing in 2009 when they last filed this Planned Parenthood bill. Over the last few legislative sessions MassResistance marshaled citizens to confront every Planned Parenthood bill -- by testifying in committee hearings, sending letters and emails, personal visits, etc. As a result, ALL of those bills were stopped in committee, despite huge efforts and expense by the sex-ed lobby to get them passed.

It was filed this year by the indefatigable uber-radical Rep. Alice Wolf (D-Cambridge), who also filed the previous bills. It has 44 co-sponsors, which is a who's who of the far left in the Massachusetts House.

This radical document is still being pushed by the sex-lobby activists to be imposed on schoolchildren.

This bill states right up front that it "would require condom use" be taught in public schools. It would also require teaching about AIDS, reproduction and sexual health, mental health, family life and other topics. These all open the door for dangerous and offensive indoctrination by activist school officials. For example, "family life" could include equating homosexual "families" to normal families. Reproduction and sexual health could include abortion or other sexual activities. "Mental health" could encourage self-diagnosis or other leading discussions to kids.

The bill uses disturbing feel-good phrases like "Instruction in health education shall be age-appropriate, medically accurate and evidence-based, but not limited." This could be interpreted in a very broad way.

Interestingly, they also include tobacco, alcohol, violence prevention, and similar issues. These are problems which the schools have a very poor record of solving. We suspect these were included in order to give cover to the main intent of the bill - Planned Parenthood-style "comprehensive sex education."
