Public funding for Planned Parenthood is currently being considered for elimination. With all the articles and media coverage, I don’t recall ever hearing about Planned Parenthood’s promotion of pregnancy prevention. One would hope that it is an integral part of the program.

There are several safe and effective methods available to prevent men and women from unwittingly becoming parents. However, none of them work unless people use them.

If people don’t wish to become parents, they should use prevention. That is just common sense. All of us need to be responsible for our actions, whether we want to or not. That is life. And people need to deal with it.
