In Minnesota, a state full of dedicated pro-life advocates, the abortion rate\u00a0last year reached\u00a0its lowest since 1974. Credit for the continued decrease is due to pro-life citizens who have insisted on life-affirming laws despite opposition from the state’s pro-abortion governor, Mark Dayton. Dayton has\u00a0vetoed every effort<\/a> pro-lifers made to lower the abortion rate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood demonstrates its delusional attitude towards the abortion rate drop in the state, saying that credit for the drop goes to their preventive “services” like STD screenings, and child sex ed programs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a letter to the editor in the Sun Current<\/em><\/a>, Sara Stoesz of Planned Parenthood claimed that Planned Parenthood “prevents abortions” through sex ed that is “embraced by parents who want to lower their teen’s risk for issues like teen pregnancy…” Stoesz also made the bizarre claim that their programs open up “lines of communitaction at home and increasing parent-child connectedness.”\u00a0Parents who saw<\/span>\u00a0this Live Action video<\/a> felt very differently<\/a> about the parent-child “connectedness”<\/a> than Planned Parenthood would like the public to believe exists.<\/p>\n
