tbrown 26 #29 April 19, 2004 Aside from abortions, and abortion referrals, Planned Parenthood provides a whole lot more. My daughter has dragged a few of her friends into local Planned Parenthood clinics when her friends told her they were having unprotected sex with their boyfriends (my daughter's a good kid, she looks out for her friends). What the girls are given is pretty amazing. I'd thought they'd get a little ziplock baggie with a few condoms, but instead they get this amazing Halloween sized sack filled with condoms, foams, gels, and a dissolving spermicidal film strip - that was a new one on me. They get a bunch of literature, they get a good talking to about what they're doing and how to be safe and healthy about it. Thank God somebody's giving these girls what they need, because their parents obviously aren't. They're too hung up denying that THEIR kid would ever open her legs to a boy. But the girls and women who visit Planned Parenthood for any reason at all, whether it's for an examination, for counseling, for treatment of an infection, for anything at all are all set upon by the Bible Nazis who scream at them and call them murderers indiscriminately. These people are just like the friggin' Taliban and would probably be very happy to live in the prop3er moral atmosphere of a country like Iran or Afghanistan.

freeflygoddess 0 #31 April 20, 2004 I say go for it! What ever happend to patient doctor privlages? Those women could be going in there for many reasons. Who are they to judge and point fingers? Not only that it could scare the hell out of someone who really needs help and they run off and not get it in fear of being seen and such, only to die from their problem. Like what if they were HIV positive and yes condoms break and birth control pills do not work 100% of the time, and they got pregnant...should they really bring that baby into the world without speaking to a doctor? Not only can that doctor provide drugs to prevent the baby from getting HIV, but if it is too late, they should be allowed to abort the baby, why bring into life to be put through a living hell?
