digitaldiscipline: (Get Off My Lawn!)
[livejournal.com profile] ubiquitous_a  sums it up well: "I love how Republicans want to make government just small enough to fit into a woman's uterus."

Per [livejournal.com profile] suricattus post earlier today:

In case you haven't heard, the House has voted to bar Planned Parenthood from federal funding, putting millions of women and families at risk.

Planned Parenthood is often the only chance young women - and many older ones -- have to get any kind of care - birth control, yes. Abortions, if needed. But also cancer screenings, HIV tests, and unbiased, no-bullshit information about how to take care of themselves. It's a step that can save us money down the road in care. And yet, it has been targeted not just for cuts, but for zero funding.

For the record: NO FEDERAL FUNDS GO TO ABORTION PROCEDURES AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

Hell yes, I stand with Planned Parenthood. Will you? Sign the open letter to the the reps who voted for this bill -- and to the senators who still have a chance to stop it.

Do it now. Stand up, and stand with Planned Parenthood.

And for those of you who need a financial reason to do the right thing - in the long run, finding/stopping a problem early the way PP does, with their advice and screenings -- has ALWAYS been more cost effective than treating it later.
