there's a major difference between going to planned parenthood and free clinics than to going to your own private physician. also, while pregnancy prevention is stressed by parents regardless of social class, a disportionant number of upper class make it a priority. (reasons: shame on the family, etc.,) the clinics are nice but a lot of young brothas and sistas make the choice to visit these clinics rather than be sent there by their parents.

nobody ever suggested that wealth = intelligence. i simply said that being wealthy affords an access to more effective forms of birth control and information. for example: how many of your "rich friends" are using the norplant?
