Sally, I understood your comment to read as taking the moral high ground and being judgmental toward women who allow themselves to get pregnant so I agree with Hair......Most teens won't go to parents re birth control, but they can do so at PP with privacy and security and we do know that disseminating birth control has cut down number of abortions. It is a win-win deal.....It also doesn't have to be a 16 year old.....there are so many stories out there.....but education prevents these unwanted pregnancies and my biggest gripe is that so many pro-lifers (I am not calling u one) want to defund PP, too.....they want to resolve the problem but they suck at problem solving....they think giving birth control to teens, for example encourages those kids to have sex....no, it is called hormones and that is why it is important to get the info out so that all women can avoid a pregnancy she doesn't want.....You sounded like you didn't care if they axed Planned Parenthood which defeats the purpose...i.e, their role in preventing unwanted pregnancies....
