From your links, and from Al's points it seems clear that PP only arrange them. That's the only question I was raising.
Sure, the NHS is following suit. No argument there.
Both camps are making a deal of the additional services. PP seems to be founded on the right to abortion, which limits it's audience for the other services.

Check the second link, and read what aleialoura wrote.

The only limitation to PP's services seems to be funding-and religiously predisposed opposition groups. If people of low income who are religious choose to bypass what PP offers because they also offer abortions, their stupidity will continue in future generations.

Personally I wouldn't endorse mass execution for stupidity.
The stupid and poor are more likely to be religious if stats provided on AF are true, so that seems to be a huge obstacle put in the way by a supposed social provider. Why wouldn't it be better to serve your public in a way that would most benefit that public?

I think PP gets its main message out just fine, and it is not abortion. A basic reading ability may be required.
Mass execution would only occur if we all agreed on the definition of a living being and the possible quality of life afforded thereto. In fact, I'd say that the horrid life afforded to some of those who came of the pro life movement is the best evidence of a "hell" xtians can provide.

From the PP main site.
Planned Parenthood believes in the fundamental right of each individual, throughout the world, to manage his or her fertility, regardless of the individual's income, marital status, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or residence. We believe that respect and value for diversity in all aspects of our organization are essential to our well-being. We believe that reproductive self-determination must be voluntary and preserve the individual's right to privacy. We further believe that such self-determination will contribute to an enhancement of the quality of life and strong family relationships.
Based on these beliefs, and reflecting the diverse communities within which we operate, the mission of Planned Parenthood is
to provide comprehensive reproductive and complementary health care services in settings which preserve and protect the essential privacy and rights of each individual.
to advocate public policies which guarantee these rights and ensure access to such services.
to provide educational programs which enhance understanding of individual and societal implications of human sexuality.
to promote research and the advancement of technology in reproductive health care and encourage understanding of their inherent bioethical, behavioral, and social implications.

I was wondering if anyone was going to allude to this, and I really hope I'm not the only one that understood this reference.

Hehe, I'd back it up with a witness and evidence but it falls under

As in "Nunya damn business."
