I really hate the right wing conservative slander toward Planned Parenthood.

A slightly older girlfriend took me to PP in my late teens and they became my sole resource for healthcare for years. Always affordable, intelligent, non-judgemental and caring. And I've turned a lot of people on to them since then. They are an wonderful organization that deserves everyone's support.

You brilliantly describe why the trash amongst us is opposed to PP. It is a service oriented organization chock full of compassionate professionals. And as you say, everyone should support them. Even conservative women need PP. Conservatives lie about PP because they know the truth won’t hurt them. I can not understand why anyone would want to control another persons life. Depravity.

And your post is another reason why we should do away with the separation of church and state and turn loose the assessors.

Their services are vital to health care for men and women. Cancer screenings, breast exams, PAP tests, pregnancy tests, birth control, STD’s..and more, I’m sure. PP was founded in 1916 and is funded by government grants and reimbursements from Medicare and fund raisers and people like me who donate to them. Why do these people want to destroy an organization so vital to so many? What is their beef now?

They were my primary care providers through my 20's. I will always be thankful.
