A big hoo-hah has attended the news that some state Planned Parenthood groups are offering gift cards and gift certificates (in amounts up to $100). Yet this may be the perfect holiday good wish for someone you know even if you oppose contraception. PP, after all, offers Pap smears, breast exams, and other crucial women's health services too.

You can get the gift certificates in Illinois and Indiana and probably in other states too. Check with your local PP, which you can find through the national Planned Parenthood site. Plug the state and/or zip code into the search box at the top of this page.
