"Planned Parenthood's Birth-Control Myth"
Everything about Planned Parenthood seems disingenuous.
The Republicans in Congress are attempting to defund them.
I think it's an idea whose time has come...

At theDailyBeast.com, Kirsten Powers has apparently seen the light. She recently wrote about it, including this:
"Not one fraction of 1 percent said they got pregnant because they lacked access to contraception. Some described having unexpected sex, but all that can be said about them is that they are irresponsible, not that they felt they lacked access to contraception.
Lack of knowledge of contraception also isn’t a reason that American women get abortions. Guttmacher reported that only 8 percent of women who undergo abortions have never used a method of birth control.
This deception smacks of a fleecing of taxpayers in an effort to promote an ideological agenda, rather than a sincere effort to help women plan families.
But what is truly astonishing about the Guttmacher statistics is that they are completely unchanged from a decade ago."
