Maybe the lady that had 3 abortions can just HAVE the fourth child since she so obviously WANTS to raise children. I like your blog. Found you on mybloglog. -Jen

Oh yeah, I meant to mention that too. Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization. They don’t do anything for the almighty dollar. Their employees aren’t driving sports cars and living in million dollar houses. They do what they do so young girls and low-income families can have the support and tools that they need. They are in business to support their communities. Not to make money.

I wonder why these protesters don’t go after insurance companies as well. Many large well known companies will cover an abortion and NOT for medical reasons. On top of that, many of these same insurance companies require a physician referral which in some cases would be a family doctor, not an OB-GYN. Granted those doctors can refuse the referral based on beliefs but the insurance company will STILL cover the abortion.

I am happy that there is freedom of speech but it seems to me that those protesting never know or express the whole truths of what they are protesting. They focus on one item no matter how small.

Nice post Christine – I am a huge fan of Planned Parenthood. I have never had an abortion, but have used many of the services of PP. I too used them for check ups and birth control when I was young and financially strapped.

I find it ironic that one of the complaints was that PP does all this for the “all for the almighty dollar”. Given their sliding scale fees and support for all woman regardless of their financial status, I really don’t believe that the all might dollar is their primary concern. And, given the danger that doctors and support staff face in working at PP with all the kooks that are gunning for them, I think that their motivation is far more altruistic!!

Planned Parenthood never gets airtime for their preventative services and the education they offer so people can make GOOD choices about their sexual health. Thank you for your common sense post! nakedanarchistss last blog post..The Men in My Life

People give places like PP a bad rap. I started using them back when I was in high school. Not for abortions, but for birth control. When so many insurance companies out there don’t pay for birth control pills, yet so many of us WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE WITH OUR BODIES, I went to them. because I could get a month’s supply for $9.75. That was the highest price you could pay for them, and it was income-based. I know there were some people that qualified to get them FREE.

It’s funny the same people that fight the welfare crisis with so many people “poppin’ out kids” are a lot of the time the sames people that are complaining about PP and their efforts.

Great post.
