I do not understand the opposition to Planned Parenthood, and probably never will. First of all, very few Planned Parenthood centers perform abortions. Their main purpose is in their name - PLANNED Parenthood. They teach people to avoid pregnancy. Do they refer people for abortions? Yes. However, they do it in the context of counseling. It is an option that is presented to a pregnant woman, among other options.

And I'd like to know what sort of solution do people opposed to Planned Parenthood suggest? Isn't it better that people receive counseling on how to only get pregnant when planned, rather than it just happening?

My sister-in-law worked as a nurse for Planned Parenthood for many years. She was shocked at the sexual ignorance displayed by women who were sexually active, many of them already pregnant. She was able to provide counseling on birth control, so that many never became pregnant again, unless they chose to. Isn't that a better solution than having sexually active women not knowing how their bodies work and getting pregnant because they believe (and I swear this is true) that they won't become pregnant if they jump out of bed on the left side immediately after having sex?
