Women come to Planned Parenthood for a variety of reasons: an affordable check up from a licensed gynecologist, STD testing, pregnancy testing, LGBT services, and to have an abortion.

I have two kids and I curse like a sailor. I do not curse at them, but I curse around them. And they know the difference.
