This seems a bit mismatched to me...
I have nothing against Planned Parenthood, but I do not understand how Madeline Albright fits with their mission.

--------------------------------------

Austin Planned Parenthood's 2009 Public Affairs Dinner: The Choice for Generations
Thursday, October 29, 2009
The Renaissance Austin Hotel
9721 Aboretum Boulevard, Austin
6:00 - 8:30 p.m.

Keynote Speaker and book signing with:
Madeleine K. Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State

Madeleine K. Albright is a Principal of The Albright Group LLC, a global strategy firm, and Chair and Principal of Albright Capital Management LLC, an investment advisory firm. In 1997, Dr. Albright was named the 64th Secretary of State of the United States and was the first female to hold that post, the highest ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government at the time. From 1993 to 1997, Dr. Albright served as the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations and as a member of the President’s Cabinet. She is the first Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. Dr. Albright earned a B.A. with Honors from Wellesley College, and Master’s and Doctorate degrees from Columbia University’s Department of Public Law and Government. Dr. Albright is author of three New York Times best-sellers, with a new book to be released this Fall entitled READ MY PINS: Stories from a Diplomat's Jewel Box (Harper), in which Secretary Albright shares the compelling and often humorous stories behind her unique pin collection, and explains how pins became, for her, a signature diplomatic tool.

Planned Parenthood’s annual Public Affairs Dinner supports the operation of its three clinics in Austin, Texas. Proceeds from this event make it possible for Planned Parenthood to provide high quality health care and education to more than 30,000 women, men, and adolescents in our community annually.

1. Population control ...
Edited on Mon Jun-29-09 08:44 AM by RoyGBiv
During her term as SoS she was notable for advocating population control, partly in partnership with planned parenthood, and drew the ire of the pro-birth movement for it.

OnEdit: I can't seem to find a link to the full text, but there was an article in American Spectator called "The Unbearable Madeline Albright," or something close to that, exhorting her for her views on family planning and work toward population control in so-called third-world countries.
