Doctor, you know I respect you and your opinion. But, I promise you refrigerating embryos for what ever reason and abortions isn't what empowers women.
It's knowing you have an option to get an annual physical for a prorated cost or free, and making sure you don't have cervical or breast cancer or anything else going on with your body, when you don't have the money to pay for it because you're in college or law school, THAT empowers women.
It's knowing you have access to birth control so you don't get knocked up by another person who is financially in your same situation, in college, and neither of you can afford to take care of a child and now you don't have to drop out of school and go on welfare, THAT empowers women.
I used planned parenthood for years and because I used them for the proactive purposes, I never had to use them for reactive purposes. I'm grateful for the organization.
Please, keep an open mind and an open heart for organizations like this. They're highly controversial, but they do a lot of good things. Without it, you would all be complaining about the high rate of welfare. Not because planned parenthood provides abortions, but because planned parenthood educates and provides birth control. It really is an organization that is more determined to prevent pregnancy and the spread of disease than any fancy doctor I've ever been to. There's a bad apple in every organization, but we have to focus on the entity as a whole, not just the parts we perceive as bad.
I'll step off my soap box. But, not without first saying I'm not trying to change your mind about abortions, those are your beliefs and I respect them. I'm just trying to shed some light as to the other services provided by Planned Parenthood, which are used far more often.
