She's told me a few interesting stories about how often the same ladies who earlier had been picketing, blocking, and harassing patients would secretly come in months later to end a pregnancy - about how scared, confused, and distraught they were. Most of that guilt resulted in the fact that they had had premarital sex and they didn't want anyone at church to find out. Man that sucks. <br /> <br /> The notion that PP 'encourages' women and girls to have abortion is totally bogus. They counsel every girl that walks through that, and all options and their consequences are fully discussed. Everyone agrees that deciding whether or not to continue a pregnancy is a huge decision, and that sometimes abortion is not the best option. But it is still a private decision, whether one agrees with the decision or not. <br /> <br /> <br /> My sister work as a councilor for Planned Parenthood for a few years (boy was our dad pissed!)

Fell in love with a guy (who told her he’s against abortion), moved in with him, talked babies…

She gets pregnant, he throws her out and says he wants nothing to do with that baby.

My opinion is that abortion used as a contraceptive method is irresponsible and wrong (there are plenty other BC methods).
But abortion IS a necessary safeguard against unwanted situations.
