I strongly urge you to remove the Advocates for Youth website from the proposed Virginia Department of Health Virginia School Health Guidelines for public schools. This offensive website – listed in the document’s “Sexual Health” resources section – promotes abortion, a “Free the Pill” campaign, and numerous other items that so many parents, including me, recognize as extremely harmful to children’s health and well-being. It is perverse for Virginia to promote and advocate that children choose abortion as health care option. This site is listed as a “resource” in the proposed guidelines, when in reality it promotes the exact opposite of what our youth should be taught. Our children should not be taught that abortion is an appropriate or normalized option for them to pursue. Just as we don’t teach children how to use firearms in school, we should not promote the death of unborn children in schools. Please remove this highly objectionable, perverse, completely unacceptable site from the proposed school health guidelines document.
