There's been a certain amount of talk in this newsgroup
about whether Planned Parenthood presents sexual abstinence as
an option.  I can prove that at least one PP chapter does:  the
following quotation is from a pamphlet, "She Will Always Remember You", 
copyright 1970 by Planned Parenthood of Colorado.
 
   "Any honest, responsible relationship that includes sex also
    includes contraception, and this means that both of you go
    to a physician or clinic for medically supervised assistance.
    If she's too embarrassed, too shy, too insecure to get
    contraceptive help, you have only one honest choice.  You wait or you
    get another girl.  If you're the one who's too embarrassed
    (you don't really know her well enough to discuss it?) why
    don't you just wait a few years until you grow up."
 
   "But don't talk to her about love, honesty, or personal freedom.
    Without a decision on contraception, that kind of talk is a 
    coward's lie."
 
Amen.
