Planned Parenthood could have performed up to two additional abortions, an S.C. House oversight panel looking into how state agencies interact with Planned Parenthood was told Wednesday. Local philanthropist and fellow suffragist Katharine McCormick helped finance the development of the birth control pill, which finally allowed women (and men) to plan their families. “My lawyers have informed me that the source of this is Americans United for Life which is an anti-abortion group so I would check your source”.
