The War on Women (Thank you, Arthur Silber)

Shark-fu hoists the flag:
Anti-choice members took to the floor with lies and inaccurate information about Planned Parenthood in an attempt to justify legislation that would defund the healthcare provider’s Title X funding. 
Pro-choice champions took to the floor and kept it real – defunding Planned Parenthood would prevent the delivery of life saving cancer screenings, STI and HIV/AIDS testing, and contraception and counseling services.

Trying to defund Planned Parenthood benefits no one, helps no one, and serves no one.

Actually doing it would have a devastating impact on communities across America.
And if you have ever been helped in any way by Planned Parenthood (and that includes your mother or father having been helped); if you have ever availed yourself of their services (see 2nd paragraph above for the list) or helped a loved one to do so, you need to make it clear to those attempting to deny Planned Parenthood funding that you STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD.  (You plug in a phone number and an address, and they contact your rep and patch back to you.  Secure website.)

(Crossposted.  Also, I want to be clear that I got the Planned Parenthood secure website from Shark-fu and am signal-boosting.)
