From the Sept. 2 New York Times P. A13:
PANEL VOTES TO EXCLUDE PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Washington, Aug. 31 (UPI) -
A federal committee heeding the arguments of anti-abortion
activists, ruled Wednesday tat Planned Parenthood should not be
included in the Federal employees' charity fund.
....
Barry Wood of the Citizens for Moral Decency said Planned Parenthood
was actually responsible for the growing number of teen-age pregnancies
because it provided contraceptives to teen-agers.
"I think we'd all agree that sexual intercourse is a major cause of
pregnancy," Mr. Wood said. "Planned Parenthood is encouraging sexual
activity by counseling teen-agers. They provide free foam to girls,
and they have condoms sitting out front in a bit bowl with signs that
say, 'Take one.'"
He conclude: "Planned Parenthood is telling them to go ahead and
have sex, enjoy its fun."
