If I were to choose a leader in this profession, it would be ACP, hands down! AAP’s politically correct positions obviously lead AWAY from a healthy, wholesome future generation.
Leadership is a value judgement, regardless of numbers.

Yes it is a value judgment .. and when an organization (ACP) uses outdated research and (it would appear) mascarades as an organization that it is not in a letter to public schools across the nation .. then .. no I am not going to rely on them. Healthy wholesome future generations are not built on outdated research and deception.

George Rekers? One of the most vociferous anti-gay, yet closeted Mo, was one of it’s leading lights.
Your quotation from Rick green there, and the simple given comparisons…….
“You people got it all wrong. Why do try to accuse us good Christians of lying?”
…..I can just hear it now.

Instead it’s primary purpose is to mislead the public to believe that an authoritative pediatric consensus believes that it is better for children to not have
access to safe sex education and contraception, that it is better for children to have their same sex parents have no parental rights or benefits and it is better for children to have quack therapies to change their sexual orientation even if the child is not the one who wants the change.

Most of the pediatricians I know do not agree with the AAP on parental notification, right of conscience or their other moral/ethical stands.

I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don’t like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels’s Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows.”
