Planned Parenthood To the Rescue

Have you been devastated by Hurricane Katrina? Have you found yourself homeless or bussed to Houston?
No fear! Help is on the way!
Have you gotten rug burn from all the good lovin'? Did you remember your astroglide for your stay in the Astrodome, but forget "the pill and protection"?
No fear! We have a plan.
As a courtesy to women fleeing Hurricane Katrina, this week Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas (PPHSET) health centers will offer free birth control and emergency contraception (EC).
So in case you made it through the storm in one piece and now need a piece for yourself. (wink, wink) Now, without the fear of getting knocked up, you too can knock it whenever or wherever you like.
I'm sorry but S-E-X would be the last thing on my mind in a time like this (contrary to whatever my wife might tell you). Aside from those taking the "EC" for regularity purposes and other such reasons what purpose does this serve other than to exploit this tragedy and to promote their single-minded agenda?
I have failed trying to find one.
Indeed. You'll notice the good folks at Anhauser-Busch had the good sense to send bottled water instead of beer. What most of these parents need right now is diapers. And crayons. And coloring books. Heck, they could even be coloring books about having an abortion; the kids wouldn't know the difference.
birth rates tend to go up @ 9 months after trying times, hardship, national tradgedies.
My roommate freshman year of college was from Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, and they actually talked about "Mt. St. Helen's babies."
He said something like half his class (including him) in high school was born in early to mid February of 1981.
Then again, those kinds of disasters are usually the ones where you're safe in your house with nothing to do (they've noticed higher birth rates nine months after blizzards too) as opposed to in the Astrodome, where it's a little harder to find privacy.
It's advertising, plain and simple. I can easily picture Planned Parenthood workers, with all the zeal of a time share salesman at Myrtle Beach, going through the crowd talking to pregnant women about how much "easier" it will be for them to deal with the aftermath if they just get a "free" government paid for abortion.
