The following testimonial was on the PPGG "shared stories" section, now removed toarchives ; found from this website:
From a long time happy customer who says that she first came to PP when, at 11 yrs old, her 17 year old boyfriend sexually assaulted her. Her wording is that of someone who has bought into the PP schtick hook, line, and millstone:
It Keeps Us SafeAs noted in the article, PP is looking for long term victims, oops, customers.I was raped at 11, by my 17 year old boyfriend. I chose not to tell my parents because I didn't think their involvement would help, that was the right choice for me. [emphasis mine] Planned Parethood helped me deal with the aftermath of the rape allowing me to deal and cope as best as I could in my own way. I was 14 when I decided to start having sex, the day I made that choice I made an appointment to get birth control pills. I'm 17 now, I've been with my current boyfriend for about two years. During that time i've been HIV and STD tested four times. Right now I'm sitting in the waiting room while my boyfriend gets the results for his HIV test. We love each other so we're responsible and Planned Parenthood helps us to do that.
