NPR wants to hear from parents about how they talk to their children about abortion and at what age

As Twitchy reported last week, an editor for Scholastic Press told authors that yes, she absolutely wants your young adult books about abortion. That doesn’t mean there aren’t already books for kids about abortion, though. We’ve featured the children’s board book “What’s an Abortion, Anyway?” a couple of times, after a loving mother tweeted how fiercely proud she was that her toddler “will grow up knowing” the value of abortion. Self-described “Beyoncé of Abortion Storytelling” Renee Bracey Sherman said the book was “super cute” and a great way of starting the conversation with your little ones. But it gets better! Not only are you giving your child a “medically accurate” picture of abortions; you’re also explaining to them that gender is fluid and that men can also have abortions.

With resources like that, parents have a means on hand to talk about abortion with their kids. And speaking of kids, NPR is doing some fishing for a story; they know what they want to write, they just need some quotes to fill in the gaps. If you’re a parent, NPR wants to hear from you how you talk to your kids about abortion:

Following the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, we want to hear from parents about how you talk to kids about abortion.

Where do you start? What do you say when they see it in the news? At what age do you begin the conversation?https://t.co/ppy2u6Bcyq

I tell them that life scientifically starts at conception. That a person is defined by a living human. That at conception the species of the unborn is human and meets the definition of life. I tell them that all innocent people should be allowed to live.

“I let you live but now I’m mad I couldn’t actually kill you if I had to make the decision today.” Boom. Done.

I taught my kids the scientific reason for fighting for life. Be and that we would welcome any baby into our family. I can add religion to it, but didn't have to. A person is a person, no matter how small. https://t.co/I8KcMobnGn

I taught my kids to not have sex until they are married and ready to have kids. Actions have consequences, it is called biology. Also, if they mess up, adoption is a caring option. Be tolerant and kind to those you disagree with, but all human life is sacred, even the unborn.

When you have sex, you run the risk of making a child. If you don’t want that risk with that guy or girl, don’t have sex. Make good choices.

My kids intuitively understand that it’s horrifying and immoral. You have to brainwash them and teach them slogans to make them unlearn the humanity they are born with.

I tell my kids early on. It’s easy. I say that I never want you to be inconvenienced. Moreover, I want you to enjoy every pleasure life has to offer. In order to accomplish, sometimes you have to kill people. No biggie.

"Don't kill babies."

NPR doesn’t really want to hear from you. They need one quote from a parent, and the rest of the article will be drawn from interviews with “experts” on teaching children about abortion.
