Support long-term contraception

Tue., Aug. 25, 2015

For those of you opposed to abortion, would you consider making a money donation to Planned Parenthood designated for long-term contraception for young girls? I’m sure they would be happy to accept that.

No teenager needs a baby to care for as her adult dreams are forming, and many cannot afford this more expensive kind of contraception, which lasts for years. We all need to take positive steps to prevent abortion ever arising as an option.
