What is bad about an information center that treats sex as something one
might wish to practice safely. If a person wants to be told that sex is
morally wrong they can go to any one of their local churches for
counciling. It is specious to think that one information center (planned
parenthood) has a monopoly on the sex counciling business. When I lived
with my parents I used to get counciling on matters sexual even when
I didn't seek them.

Stop implying that there is something terribly wrong that planned parenthood
takes a different approach than the local baptist preacher.
