"That would be great, but everything has a price. I'd love to see PP give away both higher quality birth control and offer the class of which you speak."

The elimination of $363 million in federal funding for Planned Parenthood health care centers may well force a government shutdown at midnight tonight.

I haven't looked at the price of condoms lately, but I imagine for a sixth of $363 million you can buy the best contraceptives on the market.
"It's not their job, it's their job to keep the option of abortion open. If they'd like to keep the child, why contact them? If a woman initially would like to have an abortion, but changes her mind, they're not going to come at her with a knife and take the baby. She'll either leave or be referred to another organization."
********************************************************************************
Then they need to stop the facade that they support all three choices equally. If a man has three children and he says loves all three equally then wouldn't it be logical that if John, Frank, and Riley had the same needs, he'd spend his resources comparatively among them? Pro-Choice people say they support abortion, adoption, and keeping the child equally, even though their efforts are focused primarily on keep access to abortion.
Abolition opponents didn't argue that everyone must own a slave, they simply wanted the option to own Africans. They called themselves "Pro-Slavery" because they were for it. Just as Pro-Choicers are Pro-Abortion."
If their job is to help women, I'd hope it'd be to help all women. Not just the ones seeking abortion. If they aren't (they aren't), they can at least admit it and stop hiding behind the moniker "Pro-Choice" when "Pro-Abortion" is more apt.

"Planned Parenthood performs 333 abortions to every 1 adoption.
That's dependent on the women who come and the choices they make."

A ratio like that calls to question the quality of counseling they are offering. Considering the financial incentive entailed in convincing a woman to abort opposed to giving birth, I'd say any pretense of being unbiased and assisting a woman to seriously consider all three choices needs to stop.
In conclusion, I detest White Supremacists almost as much as I detest Planned Parenthood. That's a lie, I hate PP much more. But I'll give the KKK and their ilk some respect, they are honest in what they stand for. I could begrudgingly respect PP. NARAL, NOW, MSI, if they'd come out and say.
"We fully support a woman's right to get an abortion when she wants for any reason. We don't care if abortion numbers go down, go up, or go sideways, and we aren't an adoption agency. Abortion is a moral choice, it's legal in America and the UK and we're for a woman choosing it."
