I'm glad your friend had a PP nearby Alex. I get more frustrated with the people that claim PP is an abortion mill than I do with the ones that scream about how abortion is murder. PP has so much more, and serves a vital need to the communities it's in; some centers even have services for men too! It totally boggles my mind why people would want to shut down such an excellent resource. I feel like I’ve heard of people purposely spreading STIs before…seriously, how malicious can you be???

The boyfriend got it from another girl who had it, and several people think that girl tries to give it to people because she gets boys to do it with her but coaxes them into not using protection- the trap her boyfriend fell into. My friend and her boyfriend are now using condoms correctly, and she takes birth control pills. :) What happened was, they used condoms which broke because they weren’t told how to use them properly.

It is definitely a good example of why Planned Parenthood is a vital health care provider. One question for you - how did your friend get chlamydia? Was her current boyfriend her first partner? I'm not trying to get all up in her business, or make assumptions about her partner. But they're obviously not practicing safe sex every time if she got chlamydia. Birth control is important, but pregnancy isn't the only thing to worry about. Like I said, I'm not trying to get in your friend's business, but I am concerned that she got the clap her first time out of the gate. Alex, thanks for sharing your friend’s story with us.
