The Denigration of Parenthood in the United States
by
Jack C Westman
In the United States, work is defined in our capitalistic economy as a paid activity. Unpaid activities like childrearing are not regarded as work. This obscures the fact that childrearing has immense financial value. In the long run, parenthood is more important to our society than paid vocations. Although not recognized as such, parenthood is the career that benefits everyone and is the foundation of our society.

The Parenthood Career
by
Jack C Westman
Parenthood is the most important career a person can have from that person's and our society's points of view. To ensure that children have competent parents, parenthood must be recognized as a developmental stage that follows adolescence and as an essential complement to childhood. Struggling parents also need access to effective collaborative systems of care.

A Parenthood Pledge To Prevent Early Childhood Adversity
by
Jack C Westman
Our government currently supports parents through public assistance, public education, and tax benefits. To justify this support, we need greater accountability for parents. We need to link the public benefits of parenthood to an individual's capacity to fulfill parenthood's responsibilities. The ability to conceive or to give birth says nothing about a parent's competence. We need to set standards for parenthood based on our cultural expectation that all citizens, including newborn babies, will have an opportunity to succeed in life.

Society's Stake in Parenthood
by
Jack C Westman
Societies have come and gone, but childrearing families of some kind have endured throughout the ages. The integrity of every society ultimately depends upon the competent parenting of children in family units, but questions about how that should take place arise periodically. The desire to prevent social problems leads to the goal of insuring that every child in our nation is competently parented.

It Can't Be Easy Working for Planned Parenthood
by
Geoffrey Wagner
As with the organizations that have paved the way for it, Planned Parenthood is all about giving everyone access to the birth control methods that they need - right from the right to free condoms and birth control pills to pregnancy terminations or abortions for women who need them. Not only do they passively grant access to people who need their services, they actively go out to put their message out among the public - that everyone has the right to terminate a pregnancy and to decide if and when they need to have a baby.

Planned Parenthood Pushing For More Dead Babies In Ohio
by
John St. Michael
Planned Parenthood wants Doctors in Ohio allowed to administer the abortion pill, RU-486 as freely as in other states. Planned Parenthood feels that reasoning restricting the usage of RU-486 is based on 'out-of-date' science. However, facts show that each time an abortion is done, someone dies.
