That's the number for PP. Ask if they perform abortions on the premises. Ask them anything you want. That fact is, Marcia, - putting it politely - your posting is wholly inaccurate. Matt Noah

Matt, The issue in this request was not whether or not abortions were performed at PP clinics, but whether or not that was the only service that was rendered. Also another factor was whether the emphasis PP clinics had was that abortion was the most favored method of birth control. The current contention, amoung the listers that have been to these clinics, that the posting earlier that a local PP clinic was only performing abortions and nothing else was in error. What has been requested (MORE THAN ONCE) is that first hand proof, or some way of getting first hand proof be provided. We thank-you for the phone number. I wish the onriginal poster would supply the same. -------------------------------------------------------------------- P.M.Pincha-Wagener (usual disclaimer)
