Don't Throw the Baby Out With the Bath Water

Yesterday on NPR's The Diane Rehm Show a divergent panel discussed Planned Parenthood and the battle in Congress that may bring down the House -again.

Surprisingly, the discussion yesterday was reasonably calm and reasonable points were made on both sides of the issue.

As you know, I don't discuss abortion but I am a huge fan of family planning and healthy moms and babies.  I'm not a fan of neglect and abuse of babies, children or any other human beings.

Most of the work done by Planned Parenthood does not involve the issues in the news today.  Most of what they do is to diagnose and treat young adults, female and male, who can't afford to go anywhere else.  Most of their work in limiting the babies born here in the United States is to help women not become pregnant when they don't want to be pregnant.  

I'm all for that.
