What is wrong with some people. Does Teen Vogue want a landslide of lawsuits? Anytime you start giving medical advice you are liable. Why does Teen Vogue concern itself with such issues? Did they also comment about abstaining, or option of adoption? Elizabeth Johnston is facing off with Teen Vogue after the magazine posted an article giving teens instructions on how to get an abortion without telling their parents. Johnston is the self-described “Activist Mommy” and her conservative videos on subjects like marriage, sex, and abortion usually go viral. She recently voiced concern over an article that listed the logistics of getting an abortion without parental consent. The June 6th article on sexual health and identity mentions that it’s tricky for teenaged girls to get an abortion. The author teaches them about states that don’t require parental consent, and how to obtain a judicial bypass if they don’t want their parents involved in the abortion decision.
Johnston says a teen can find better counsel than a magazine columnist on the issue of abortion, even if her parents aren’t available. She encourages parents on her blog, “Build up and nurture your relationships with your own children. Despite our best intentions in parenting, the day may come when our sons or daughters come to us with the news of an unplanned pregnancy. If it does, we must do as God commands and love them, guide them, and care for them and their precious child.” Despite the print version of the magazine being pulled from shelves, the website continues to offer teens liberal advice on sexuality.
