I'm a very fortunate person, I was raised in a family that had means and I was given a good education. This isn't always the case. Not everybody has access to birth control, not everybody can afford an extra expense and not everybody is aware enough to know the importance of their preventative choices. Planned Parenthood does a nice job of providing such things to those that otherwise would go without. There are those that preach that birth control is wrong and because of such things there are millions in Africa that have died of AIDS, there are children born to woman that are ill equipped to raise them and there are STD's spreading like wild fire all over college campuses. I'd be happy to see a "free birth control" store on every college campus in American, on the corner of ever city street in the US. I'd be glad to have my tax dollars fund this. Why not?
