Berry Look, it's about time you and everyone else stop thinking of PP as an informat- ion center on sex. They give out pills and abortions and a little bullshit. Their main objective is not information, it is 'safe sex' and 'safe abortions.' It doesn't take much time in terms of counseling to give these things out. I could do it and so could you, especially if I was receiving several hundred thousands of dollors a year to do it. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
