To My Friends Who Support Defunding Planned Parenthood [View all]


Credit: Planned Parenthood of Michigan


A couple years ago, I happened to drive by the Planned Parenthood in my city as I was on the way to a friend’s house for a day of sunning ourselves. There were people on both sides of the road waving their signs and chanting. On one side of the road were the “Christians” condemning those that walked through the door for abortions (this location has never offered abortions ― but no need to educate yourself) and on the other side of the road were those of the opposite view that understood the need for Planned Parenthood.


Admittedly, I got pretty fired up. It isn’t just the ridiculous inaccuracy of what many of those picketers were shouting, it was the fact that they were so quick to condemn an organization that does so much good for women and men that choose to be responsible in taking care of their health.


So I say to my friends or those that oppose Planned Parenthood for their abortions and selling of aborted fetuses body parts.


Educate yourself.


If Planned Parenthood is defunded in this witch hunt, where do women and men that so desperately need these health services go? As many as 650,000 women could be left without access to other health care clinics or medical practitioners who serve low-income populations.
