Anyone who makes an appointment at one of the eight facilities run by Planned Parenthood Golden Gate (PPGG) before April 30 can enter to win an iPod. This is just one of the schemes the abortion agency has organized to try to lure teens into its San Francisco clinics, reports the group, Life Decisions International.
“Planned Parenthood has resorted to common corporate tactics in an effort to get young people to encourage their peers to voluntarily become the pro-abortion group’s new victims,” says LDI president Douglas Scott. “This incentive is clearly aimed at young people.”
A poster announcing another Planned Parenthood program, called “Tell-A-Friend,” includes the image of a teenage girl whispering into the ear of another teenage girl: “Get free movie tickets? Yes, when you tell a friend about Planned Parenthood.”
Teens are told to obtain a Tell-A-Friend card at a local Planned Parenthood office or to download one from the agency’s website.
“Give Tell-A-Friend cards to any friends who don’t go to Planned Parenthood,” the details state. “When they come in for an appointment--and turn in your [Tell-A-Friend] card--we will mail you two FREE movie passes, and your friend will receive $10.00 off their visit.” The movie tickets are redeemable at any United Artist theater.
The card states that to be eligible for the free movie tickets the teen referral(s) must be new to Planned Parenthood or they must not have used its “services” for at least two years. PPGG lists its “services” on the card: birth control, annual exams, pregnancy testing, STI [sexually transmitted infection] testing & treatment, HIV testing, and emergency contraception.
LDI is currently investigating to determine if United Artists donated the tickets to Planned Parenthood or if they were purchased by the group.
