[OPEN HOUSE] It’s now the 21st century, and a woman’s right to abortion and family planning services remains controversial in this country. Here in Hawai`i, Planned Parenthood—which has had offices in the state since 1966—assists more than 7,500 people. “Our three health centers provide over one-third of the publicly supported contraceptive services and supplies in Hawaii for low income women and teens,” CEO Barry Raff wrote in a Feb. 7, 2007 press release. “We know better than any other organization that the way to prevent unintended pregnancy and reduce the need for abortion is by increasing access to real sexuality education and birth control.” Here’s your chance to check them out for free. Planned Parenthood’s clinic is located at 140 Ho`ohana St., Suite 303 in Kahului. For more information call 871-1176. [ANTHONY PIGNATARO]
