I'm encouraging all parents and teachers to read Judy Blume's latest writing. And I'm not alone. Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, implores, "Please, let her know how much we appreciate her courage." That's where Richards and I diverge.

Judy Blume, author of Superfudge (a staple in most American schoolchildren's lives for decades now), has most recently penned a fundraising letter for Planned Parenthood for Mother's Day.

"Say thanks this Mother's Day with a gift that honors her courage by making a donation to Planned Parenthood in her name. I guarantee you that she'll be pleased. I know I would be," Blume writes.
