I'm not sure what I think about
this. I will note that I have gotten non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood, and been disgusted by the fact that they need metal detectors and bag searches. Whatever your opinion on abortion--and mine is rather deeply conflicted--women getting medical care should not have to choose between invasive searches, and fearing for their lives. Nor did I care for the rosary-praying woman who told me I would regret "it" for the rest of my life, as if there were no reason to go to a women's health care center unless you were getting your womb vacuumed out. On the other hand, I was also struck by how pitifully, pitifully young were the girls there for pregnancy tests. Overall, everything about the visits made me think "there has to be a better way".
