Planned Parenthood isn’t sending food or clothing to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, but the organization is helping evacuees get the number one necessity on its list - contraceptives, and, of course, access to abortion.
"As organizations like Catholic Charities and Red Cross solicit donations in order to provide basic necessities for Hurricane Katrina evacuees, Planning Parenthood is asking for money in order to hand out contraceptives and morning after pills to victims of the storm making their way to the Houston area,” reports the Culture of Life Foundation.

A link on Planned Parenthood’s Web site that says "Help with Hurricane Effort” takes visitors to a page that states: "You can help. 100% of your tax-deductible contributions will go directly to supporting our continued efforts to provide health services,” including contraceptives and an "emergency contraception kit.”
Emergency contraception typically refers to Plan B, the controversial drug that can work by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman’s uterus, according to the Culture of Life Foundation.
The effort is being coordinated by Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas. Peter Durkin, president and CEO of the chapter, said: "We’re offering a free month’s supply of birth control pills and/or emergency contraception if they have either a Mississippi or Louisiana driver’s license.”
The Web site says Planned Parenthood is working to make sure evacuees "can continue to get birth control and other reproductive health services.”
Abortions are among the "reproductive health services” offered by Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas.
The number of evacuees who have arrived in the Houston area has been estimated at up to 150,000, and more are expected.
