How about Ray Frank and Gary Samuelson who specifically attacked PP
(right on this net) because it "encourages children to have sex" by
giving them birth control. It seems to me that the best way to cut down
on unecessary abortions if for everybody to use birth control (you seem
to agree). I suppose you might be able to stop PP from doing abortions,
but Ray and Frank were very clear that they wanted to stop PP from
giving out birth control as well.
