That's good that you have close access to it, but unfortunately, your situation is not representative of the national whole. There are far too many places where decent access to places like Planned Parenthood and related projects are being shut down through loophole legislation or improper funding. That's without getting into the whole debacle with certain states passing laws allowing pharmacists and doctors to deny customers (usually women, of course) access to emergency contraception and its ilk. Or the poor standard of sexual education that exists in major areas of the U.S.

Having to reconsider the advantage of basic biological and psychological desires isn't a choice people should have to make. Is it fair to say somebody should consider carefully their financial position before planning a pregnancy? Sure. But declaring across the border that people in poverty should be stripped of basic human rights isn't.
