receiving contraceptive drugs or devices."

The Human Right to Family Planning , 1984.
****************************************************
"Family Planning Associates [the 180 United States Planned Parenthood
affiliates] and other nongovernmental associations should not use the
absence of law or the existence of an unfavorable law as an excuse for
inaction; action outside the law, or even in violation of it, is part of
the process of stimulating change."
-- International Planned Parenthood Federation. The Human Right to Family
Planning , 1984. Co-signed by PPFA president Faye Wattleton.
****************************************************
"It goes without saying that Planned Parenthood affiliates have long been
involved in programs of abortion information counseling and referral
[before abortion was legal]. Before the recent change in abortion laws,
these activities were necessarily unpublicized ..."
-- George Langmyhr, M.D., Medical Director, Planned Parenthood/World
Population. "The Role of Planned Parenthood/World Population in Abortion."
Implementation of Legal Abortion: A National Problem .
****************************************************
"Planned Parenthood provides suggestions and assistance for bypassing and
disobeying various local and national laws restricting abortion."

Implementation in Eight Developing Countries." Cambridge University Press,
London, 1982, page 64.
