...that Planned Parenthood does more than abortions.

I'm pretty old, so my Mom is really elderly. Every once in a while we talk about her not having any grandkids. She usually mentions that she would have loved to have them. At least as babies.

But unfortunately you can't give them back when they grow up. And she also usually mentions the large number of her elderly friends who are raising their grandkids. Because the parents are too lazy, drug-addled or just plain useless. So I think she's made her peace with the whole thing.
