Look, it's about time you and everyone else stop thinking of PP as an informat- ion center on sex.  They give out pills and abortions and a little bullshit.
Their main objective is not information, it is 'safe sex' and 'safe abortions.'
It doesn't take much time in terms of counseling to give these things out.
I could do it and so could you, especially if I was receiving several hundred
thousands of dollors a year to do it.
