I looked at all your links regarding the term “Family Planning” for some information on how to plan my family vacation or how to put away funds for junior’s college but … nada. Here is what I found. Link # 1 “family planning legislation to put Prevention First!” Link # 2 “Sexual health means enjoying the sexual activity you want without causing yourself or anyone else suffering, physical or mental harm. Link # 3 & 4 This was an add for a birth control patch. ”Is it abortion you oppose or both abortion and birth control?” This issue came up with regards to natural terms that are used as political code for something less obvious. I was attempting to point out that the term ‘family planning’ was co-opted by the left decades ago as a consumer friendly term that is mostly used to describe services that are intended to stop one from producing unwanted family members and to help one engage in sexual promiscuity while minimizing the risks. The most extreme example of such is Abortion clinics, which are usually not called ‘Abortion Clinics’ in their literature addressing the consumer or with regards to obtaining funds from the government. I searched on two different terms ‘abortion clinics’ and ‘family planning clinics’. I followed the links to the different centers and saw the same euphemistic terminology about being a women’s health center. In some cases the terms were definitely being used as obvious synonyms, although I think that has become politically incorrect. lrfps.com 'Women’s Health' is probably the new code speak for dealing with sexually transmitted diseases and abortion. There certainly was not information about exercise, healthy eating, and other such health related topics, on these sites.
