      I can see it now:
   Worried Looking Young Woman: "Yes, I'd like to see about getting some
		contraceptives so I don't have to worry about getting
		pregnant when my boyfriend and I have sex."
   Planned Parenthood Counselor:  "Why bother?  Why not just have sex all
		you like without them, and if you get pregnant, so what?
		We can always abort it for you."

   
   
   Like, I'm *sure*.
