An interesting letter to the editor

I get news briefs e-mailed to me daily that alert me to items that might interest me. Otherwise I might've missed this letter to the editor of the Juneau Empire newspaper in Juneau, Alaska (the proposed site of a new Planned Parenthood clinic):

At the Health Fair on April 9 at Centennial Hall, I watched as a young 16-year-old girl approached the Planned Parenthood table. Later that day I contacted this young teenager to ask what kind of reception she received from PP. This is an example of what you can expect from PP.

She was given a condom; she was never asked her age. She was never asked whether the girls' parents were there, or whether they would approve. She was told where to get the abortifacient, RU 486 (morning-after pill), and she was asked to be sure and tell all her friends.

PP wants to start a so-called clinic in Juneau. What do you think PP will be trying to sell? This girl was never asked any questions about her general health, whether she was married, whether she had allergies, whether she was in good health. No questions, nothing. PP sells sex, promotes free and open sex. PP opposes parental notification. They oppose abstinence, but they promote and provide abortion without conscience or consequences. Is this what the parent of Juneau want for their children?

This guy's got it exactly right. The true purpose of Planned Parenthood seems to be to sell the notion of inconsequential sexual activity to teenagers. What else could it be? Don't listen to what they tell you they do, look at what they actually say and do when they think they're not being documented. How can this agency possibly continue operating? Boggles the mind.
