She said of that 6 percent, 7 percent went to aboritons for African-American women. I don't know what she told the Post, only what she told me.

Our world is overpopulated with humans right now, and if we trust women to listen to their instincts on the subject of birth control and family planning, tomorrow's world may be a better place to live. Yes, babies are wonderful, but babies become adults, and all need water, food, space, fuel, shelter, education, medicine. We cannot continue to add to our population based on some vague and mystical belief that science and technology will bail us out of the consequences of that decision. They can't. They can just warn us of what is coming if we don't get responsible. Three cheers for Planned Parenthood! Planned Parenthood is where the rubber meets the road.

Intellectually I no longer think that way, but my gut hasn't caught up with my head and I still react emotionally to both those concepts. I'm happy to hear that the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performs is low and that they provide life-giving services as well. I still wouldn't want them across the steet from me.

I am very thankful for Planned Parenthood. In my 20's I went to Planned Parenthood - in large part because I either didn't have health insurance, or when I had health insurance I felt uncomfortable with my insurance company knowing about my personal matters. I knew I could afford Planned Parenthood and I felt I would be treated with privacy and respect. I have health insurance and go to a private doctor now, however, I still appreciate their support during my 20's. Come on people - stop focusing on the 6 percent and look at the 94 percent - they provide an invaluable service in this country where access to affordable women's health care is hard to find.

You summed it up precisely. The key point is the last paragraph. This was a very well-written column.
