I was poor once, and i lived in a low income minority neighborhood. I think I may be aware of issues that do not appear in formal studies. Or perhaps when they say shit like 99% success, which is good unless you are in the 1%, I actually think about that 1%

Okay, well, this has nothing to do with your point about how the people providing care at PP are just like overeager school administrators pushing ritalin, so I'm not sure why you've brought it up.
In any case, the fact that you lived in a poor neighborhood doesn't make you uniquely qualified to question the care provided at PP. I've lived in poor, primarily minority neighborhoods before too and there were just as many misguided folks in that neighborhood than in the "better" neighborhoods I've lived in. It isn't an experience that guarantees instant credibility on any issue.

I shared the story of Tiffany Wright in another thread, a sad story I will never forget. The system failed Tiffany - would PP have done the right thing if they knew this 15 year-old girl got pregnant by a 36 year-old man who eventually murdered her?

What would you have had PP do? How do you think a primary care clinic would have done things differently than PP?

Don't tell me this is a diversion or that it has no relevance to PP - it does and if you don't see it - it is your problem.

Actually, if people don't find your premises plausible, it is your problem, because you are failing to make a convincing argument.
