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.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.)
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.
