Let 'em eat sex

To a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail. Planned Parenthood of Houston confronts the most terrifying problem faced by survivors of the disaster in New Orleans. Starvation? Nope. Disease and unsanitary conditions? Nah. Homelessness? Guess again:
Did you escape the hurricane without your birth control? As a courtesy to women fleeing Hurricane Katrina, we will offer one free cycle (one month) of birth control or one free Emergency Contraception kit to women presenting to a PPHSET clinic with a valid Louisiana or Mississippi driver's license. We also are offering one depo injection at a total fee of $41.00 (we are waiving the office visit charge, and offering the depo at a 50% discount). This offer is good until September 10th.


Hat tip: The Corner.

THANK YOU for this post! I'm not surprised, but I am frustrated. It seems like these people are desperate to keep women from having babies! You might like my post: If one good thing came from Katrina... http://10ft2ft.com/?p=336

what about women who were raped in the SuperDome? Now is not the time for them to face an unwanted pregnancy, prevent the pregnancy before it happens. Abortion rates go up after a tragedy, it happened after 9/11. Not everyone is in a shelter, and many will be in Houston for months. Think they won't have sex? Guess again.
