Any good manager is always reviewing and trying to improve practices and services. Outside of that general point:
What do they do with evidence of illegal behavior?
Who are they accountable to?
How do they measure their effectiveness?
How are complaints handled? I can imagine (again say what you will, but i look at incentives) a 16 year-old girl unwilling to talk to her parents/doctor/or any responsible adult having a problem at PP - what is she going to do? PP has every incentive to cover stuff up if it goes wrong - with that kind of incentive bad situations never ends well. Is this is a joke to you something not to be concerned about?

Parental notification for abortions?
Most states (35?) require parental notification or consent.

Most is not all.

Parental notification for contraception or STD testing and treatment?
Which takes me back to the study I posted earlier....that if parental notification was required, most would refrain from treatment and continue having unprotected sex..

I have seen a study that says that a large percentage of teens using contraception don't use it regularly and end up pregnant anyway. I will look for the study.
For what is worth, I live in a conservative "family" oriented area, I have a teenager and I interact with lots of parents many are conservative and some both conservative and religious - very few don't support the use of contraception by their sons and daughters. None want their teens engaging in sex but in 2011 - I bet on a national level very few parents hold the views that you suggest in your posts. Often surveys that does not support an ideology either does not get done or gets no publicity. That is why I often suggest that you get out of DC and interact with people outside the belt-way.
