Sigh.
Again we get back to "how dare my child get information from the outside
world against my wishes" argument.
First off, let us remember we are dealing with the real world. In the
real world, NOT ALL PARENTS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! It's not
necessarily all their fault. What is true is that they exit.  A result
of this is that there are a large portion of kids with little or no
guidence,or trust,in their parents. These kids need somewhere to find
information. Planned parenthood had as one of its tennants to provide
such info -- info from a NON-THREATENING SOURCE! LOTS of parents will
not OR cannot provide any information on sex,birth control,pregnancy
or such. PPclinics provide this in addition to possibly performing 
abortions.

No one stated you family was such a case , or could be. The 
suggestions were that you put yourself in the place of such a
person and see thing from that viewpoint.

(Sorry.I had more to say,but have to go.Maybe more later.)
