100+ pro-abortion groups endorse blueprint demanding abortion and transgender ‘care’ for children

An abortion manifesto calling for the protection of child killing by abortion as well as so-called “gender-affirming care” claims, “There is no universal freedom without gender equality and bodily autonomy.” Of course, the authors do not ascribe any bodily autonomy to the preborn baby who is violently dismembered or poisoned alive in their mother’s womb. The entire blueprint reads like the abortion industry’s dream come true — and an obvious money grab to be funded by American taxpayers.

The abortion manifesto cleverly links together other topics for political change with the violence of abortion, a slick strategy which covers-up decades of systemic racism within the abortion industry, sexual abuse, pregnancy discrimination, and other allegations.

Abortion Manifesto

The 2023 Blueprint for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice Policy Agenda, which was recently released at Reproblueprint.org, has been endorsed by over 100 pro-abortion organizations such as Planned Parenthood and their former “special affiliate” the Guttmacher Institute, Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), Center for Reproductive Rights, Physicians for Reproductive Health (PRH), Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, SIECUS, TEACH (Training in Early Abortion for Comprehensive Healthcare), The Population Council, and UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, among others.

“We declare our unity and rededicate our collective power to protecting and advancing sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice (SRHRJ) in the United States and around the world,” the group’s political manifesto begins. “The wrongly decided United States Supreme Court decision to end the constitutional right to abortion was an attack on bodily autonomy and is part of an ongoing global assault on human rights to undermine access to contraception, sex education, gender-affirming care, the rights of women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ people, and more. Simultaneously, we are facing growing crises in maternal health, STI rates, climate, and many more. Our nation and our world cannot continue on this trajectory.”

The document does not appear to exclude minors in any of its text, simply repeating the phrase “all individuals” and stating that these individuals should have “access over their lifetimes.”

The manifesto defines SRHRJ as follows (emphases added):

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Sexual and reproductive health is a state of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to all aspects of sexuality and reproduction, not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction, or infirmity. Therefore, a positive approach to sexuality and reproduction should recognize the part played by pleasurable sexual relationships, trust, and communication in the promotion of self-esteem and overall well-being. All individuals have a right to make decisions governing their bodies and to access services that support that right.

Achievement of sexual and reproductive health relies on the realization of sexual and reproductive rights, which are based on the human rights of all individuals to: have their bodily integrity, privacy, and personal autonomy respected; freely define their own sexuality, including sexual orientation and gender identity and expression; decide whether and when to be sexually active; choose their sexual partners; have safe and pleasurable sexual experiences; decide whether, when, and whom to marry; decide whether, when, and by what means to have a child or children, and how many children to have; have access over their lifetimes to the information, resources, services, and support necessary to achieve all the above, free from discrimination, coercion, exploitation, and violence.

“Sexual and reproductive health intersect with every aspect of who we are and what we do. They are inextricably tied to economic justice, anti-racism and racial equity, voting rights, immigrant rights, disability justice, LGBTQIA+ liberation, youth justice, decolonization, environmental and climate justice, democracy reform, gender equality, survivor justice, education, and the right to community safety, among others. Ensuring every person — no matter who they are and where they live — has access to sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice is foundational to economic, mental, and physical well-being,” the Blueprint claimed (emphases added).

Guarantee Abortion and “Gender-affirming care”

The abortion manifesto calls for the President to federally guarantee abortion and so-called “gender-affirming care” by “expand[ing] the scope and mandate of the Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force and establish a permanent infrastructure dedicated to promoting” pro-abortion and pro-transgender policies.

The manifesto is calling on the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to “enforce privacy protections for individuals seeking gender affirming care in states where care is under attack.” But the only legislation that states have passed restrict minor children from accessing this sort of “care” until they are no longer minors. In other words, this manifesto wants children to be treated as adults — when it comes to anything sex-related, including accessing abortion and transgender services.

In addition, the abortion manifesto calls for the President to “[l]ead public engagement activities, including a White House conference on SRHRJ, public listening sessions, and a federal advisory committee.”

Expand Sexual “Rights” to Minors

The Blueprint calls for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop “programs to advance the health and rights of adolescents and youth.”

“CMS and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) should clarify that federal funding restrictions on sterilization of minors apply generally to elective sterilizing procedures,” the document states.

It also calls for HHS to “create or support materials geared toward health care providers, first responders, and social workers that make clear that mandatory reporting laws do not apply to people who self-manage their abortions and emphasize a harm reduction approach to treating patients in a supportive, non-stigmatizing manner.”

In addition, the manifesto calls for the President to support sex education and ensure “[t]hat all young people have a right to comprehensive and affirming sex education, as well as sexual and reproductive health services” — taxpayer-funded and likely taught by pro-abortion enthusiasts.

The manifesto recommends that the Education Department “move away from abstinence-only or sexual risk avoidance sex education and, instead, provide educational content on reproductive rights, health, and decision-making, including information for students to learn about the anatomy of all genders, not just their own.”

Remove Religious Exemptions and Conscience Protections

The manifesto also calls for the President to rescind “Executive Order 13798, Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty” and for the  administration to “ensure that all new guidance and rules are free of religious exemptions or other language enabling refusals of care and must vigorously oppose any efforts to write religious or moral exemptions into law, regulations, or guidance related to taxpayer funded programs that provide health care and social services.” (emphasis added)

Expand Chemical Abortion

The Blueprint calls for HHS protocols to “implement programs that will improve access to medication abortion, including ensuring continuity of care, removal of medically unnecessary in-person requirements.”

It calls on OCR to “ensure that the final HIPAA rule makes clear that its protections apply to individuals who self-manage their abortions…” And to “expand the content of ReproductiveRights.gov to include additional facts surrounding the safety and efficacy of medication abortion, including medication abortion via telehealth; links to resources that explain or demonstrate how medication abortion works; up-to-date information or links on the legality of using medication abortion.”

Export Abortion Globally

The manifesto demands pro-abortion policies be exported around the globe: “The president must launch an initiative to integrate, elevate, and prioritize sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice across foreign policy priorities and global health, development, and humanitarian programs” and “affirm U.S. support for the decriminalization of abortion — including self-managed abortion — around the world,” the document states.

In addition, the abortion manifesto calls upon Congress to “expand access to high quality, comprehensive health care, including abortion and gender-affirming care,” for the heads of U.S. agencies to “prioritize visiting U.S.-funded family planning and reproductive health programs and meeting with sexual and reproductive health and rights providers, advocates, and multilateral agencies when they travel overseas.”

Fund Abortion at Taxpayer Expense

The Blueprint points to a lack of funding for an alleged “abortion crisis” and it calls for an end to multiple amendments which protect the American taxpayer from funding abortion on demand, including the Hyde Amendment, as well as “addressing restrictions barring formerly incarcerated populations from applying for positions or holding particular licenses in the SRH workforce” while developing policies around “abortion care” for those incarcerated.

The abortion manifesto is requesting U.S dollars flow freely to the UNFPA – even if those dollars are funneled to China, known for its systemic human rights violations. It also calls for “Fully funding the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program and the Division of Adolescent and School Health,” increased funding for Title X, as well as double funding to USAID and NIH for “research.”

It also demands that “every new health insurance delivery system reform proposal, at a minimum, must… include coverage of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care services, including abortion services… and gender-affirming care with no out-of-pocket costs to beneficiaries.” (emphasis added)

The abortion manifesto also calls for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to “improve and expand Medicaid and other health plan coverage to ensure greater access to sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion and gender affirming care” and to “require all insurance plans to cover the full spectrum of gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and fertility preservation treatments,” the manifesto demands.

Monitor “Misinformation”

“The administration must address mis- and disinformation related to SRH among providers, patients, social media influencers, and the broader public,” the manifesto demands. In other words, in a blatant attempt to restrict free speech, the coalition wants only its version of “facts” about abortion to be freely shared online.

Misinformation — according to these pro-abortion groups — includes the very “definitions of abortion,” “facts surrounding the safety and efficacy of medication abortion, including medication abortion via telehealth,” “links to resources that explain or demonstrate how medication abortion works,” among other demands. Planned Parenthood’s own abortion videos show animations of a blue dot being expelled from a uterus. Does this count as “factual” when what is actually happening to a preborn child during an abortion is never shown by pro-abortion groups?

They also want “an explanation of how people can obtain private resources to cover the cost of the abortion and the steps to obtaining the care, including links to the National Network of Abortion Funds and the National Abortion Federation Hotline.”

Protect Abortion Providers

The abortion manifesto calls for HHS to “strengthen health information privacy on reproductive health data” by issuing a rule “protecting certain reproductive health care data from being automatically shared via interoperability of medical records.”

Attack PRCs

“CDC must remove crisis pregnancy centers [CPCs] from the CDC’s Get Tested STI testing finder tool,” the abortion blueprint demands, despite the fact that many pregnancy centers provide this service.

The document, endorsed solely by pro-abortion organizations, then falsely claims that pregnancy resource centers are “fake clinics” which “pose as real health care clinics and work to advance anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQIA+ propaganda.” In fact, many are licensed medical facilities which employ medical professionals.

“When the CDC directs people to CPCs for testing, it sabotages its mission as the country’s public health protection agency by endangering the public’s reproductive and sexual health,” the document stunningly claims (emphasis added).

Instead, the abortion manifesto suggests that the State Department “honor a reproductive health provider or advocate during their annual International Women of Courage Awards.”

In short, this blueprint is a list of demands to grow the coffers of the abortion industry by increasing business for its two very popular income streams: abortion and transgender services.
