To a lot of Americans, Planned Parenthood is an evil corporation that's sole purpose is to abort all babies. That is simply incorrect.

Planned Parenthood is not an abortion clinic; it is a women's health clinic. It provides affordable health care for women, such as pap smears, mammograms, STD treatments, access to birth control, and so much more. These programs have helped numerous women to create their family and become cancer-free.

Sure, yes, they also provide abortions, but they do not use their federal funds for those abortions. They are paid for out-of-pocket by the patient.

So, if Planned Parenthood is defunded, abortions won't be stopped, but affordable women's health care will be. Thousands of women will be denied affordable birth control which will create more unwanted pregnancies which will create more abortions. Which is exactly what politicians who want to defund PP are looking to prevent.

This is outrageous and needs to be stopped.

You can help. Call, email, or send a letter to your local representative demanding that they shoe their support for American woman and vote to keep funding Planned Parenthood.
