Ugh, sounds like an awful movie made to scare us to death. It's terrible that people protest outside of planned parenthood

When I was 18 I became sexually active for the first time. Planned parenthood was the only place I could go for birth control. I talked to the doctor about my options, and chose depo provera. Planned Parenthood prevents 11 times more abortions than they perform.

Contraception is 34%, while abortions are 3%.

Abortion is a last resort. I can't imagine being 18 years old, scared to death, going into the clinic to get birth control and people calling me a baby killer and harassing me.

I know so many other women who got birth control and other health care from planned parenthood at a time when they couldn't go elsewhere. I actually don't know anyone who got an abortion there. Pro-life people should be supporting planned parenthood for all the abortions they prevent, not shaming anyone who walks in a clinic. They have no idea who there is having an abortion, who just wants some free pills to prevent pregnancy, who just wants a few free condoms, and who needs a Pap smear and can't afford to go anywhere else.
