That being said, I completely agree planned parenthood is less about actual planning than it is about abortion....margaret sanger actually started this awful organization to decrease the population of people she found undesirable. pp offers NO alternatives to abortion and no counseling before or after and they offer young ladies nothing but contraceptives and condoms. They do not have parenting classes and they don't offer guidance services to troubled youth. How they are encouraging parenthood or planning anything is a mystery to me. They should be working hand in hand with every adoption agency they can find, if they did there would be many, many abortions prevented and many families who desperately want a child would have one. doctors could change their attitudes, as well. I had surgery that removed that biggest part of my cervix and my doctor recommended I "terminate" my pregnancy bc he said I had a high chance of miscarriage. I took that risk, it was my first child and I didn't see the logic of giving up on the pregnancy that hastily, and my daughter was premature but healthy. But think how many young women (i was 21) would have just given up right then? high abortion rates are a symptom of a much larger problem and part of that problem is planned parenthoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31903680.post-66279659790239236452012-02-02T00:18:52.478-05:002012-02-02T00:18:52.478-05:00Regardless of the abortion issue, you make a great...Regardless of the abortion issue, you make a great point...if people want to see money go to Planned Parenthood, why give it to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and not Planned Parenthood directly? If people want to support breast cancer awareness, research and treatment, give to Susan G. Komen. If they want to support the range of services Planned Parenthood provides, give to them. It makes no sense though to give to one only to expect them to turn around and give it to the other.<br /><br />It's like the stupid system we have in government where we send our money to the state or federal government and hope and pray that it will come back to us for local needs.Todd P.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31903680.post-37735408136679545112012-02-01T21:07:12.482-05:002012-02-01T21:07:12.482-05:00difed"When did we return to 1950?

This is easy to say from a position of privilege. Not everyone is in a city with plenty of free clinics. Speaking for myself after college which offered free health services, and before I got married and acquired insurance, I didn't have any other place to go for gyno exams and free birth control but Planned Parenthood....

And what is this "...I agree 100% with LaNeshe. And what is this "millions" number the anon commenter comes up with? You make it sound like PP is dragging women off of the street, forcing them to end their pregnancies. If you honestly believe that without Planned Parenthood women would suddenly stop ending an unwanted pregnancy, you're living in a fantasy. It's been going on since the beginning of human history. I often look at the anti-choice movement and wonder how much they could accomplish if they instead used their energy to care an iota for children *outside* of the womb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31903680.post-15237958520008057162012-02-01T15:57:32.334-05:002012-02-01T15:57:32.334-05:00That statistic is a lie.

However, THEY have construed the numbers so that, for instance, a service which is not actually a performed abortion is not considered "abortion services". There is plenty of information out there regarding this, and I'm sure you can use the power of the internet to do that. Regardless, Planned Parenthood is NOT the only provider of all of these other things, and women have many other options. Again, the millions of babies murdered ever year by this child-killing organization cannot be pushed aside for these other forms of care. Planned Parenthood is a business who makes money via taxpayers, insurance companies, and the women themselves to perform abortions. It is not ever acceptable to do this based on the other "services" provided.John Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418344199052985424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31903680.post-64879159905974342162012-02-01T15:17:07.839-05:002012-02-01T15:17:07.839-05:00They provide abortion services to less than 10% of...They provide abortion services to less than 10% of the people they serve.
