What many don't realize is that PP doesn't just help women. They help teens of both sexes get tested for STD's without forcing them to have their parent or guardian present. So if the teens feel they have a safe place to go to after they had unprotected sex and they don't want to hear a shitstorm from their parents, PP is a safe haven.
It is also a place where pregnant women can go for routine care of their babies, during pregnancy. They have access to information about other programs in their area as well. They have access to be able to get in touch with those other agencies via PP.
Planned Parenthood does so much more than provide a safe, sanitary place for a woman to have an abortion. And it is sad that the legislators fail to see this. Sadly, this is a huge step backwards for this country.
You've got to be joking right?
