I am 47 yrs. old now, and have had a hysterectomy done in the last few yrs. But when I was younger and working like a dog without health insurance, your organization was a saving grace. You offered exams, std tests and birth control options. The cost was minimal and a life saver in itself. I am furious about the bashing that you get for doing good work for women who are in need. I applaud your help and people should be better informed about your group instead of the lies. My Many Thanks.

That's because that's a better known thing pretty much everyone knows that they do but it's really none of your bussiness what women do with their bodies or vaginas and sexual organs is it?

@misterdirtyharry Abortions are not needed, they are wanted.

@SheepGo2Hell2 Could you please tell me what is "reproductive" about abortion?

@Kitsune1414 The child in the womb is not the woman's body or vagina or sexual organ.....It's the child within the womb. The business of Planned Parenthood is a sinister one.

@TheDaffy9 "I am furious about the bashing that you get for doing good work for women who are in need."

What a ridiculous statement. Please tell me that you don't honestly believe that people are opposed to an organization for doing good work for people in need. On the contrary, the opposition is a response to the outright failure to embrace, authenticate, and defend the worth and dignity of women and children. And that, my dear, is the truth of the matter.

@jezett thats only 3% of what they do. Of course they provide abortions when they are needed, but they do so so much more than that.

I've been watching all of the videos bashing PP, trying to figure out why I heard about the defunding before I even knew WHY. I have signed the petition to help keep your funding. I wasn't ready to have a child and your clinic helped me to get a Mirena so I could take the stress of getting pregnant off my mind. I am a college student, and my boyfriend and I are having a hard enough time paying rent and keeping food on the table, let alone having a child. Thanks for keeping me off welfare.

Planned Parenthood is so vital. It provides factual information and safe services, like neonatal care, family planning, sti and cancer screenings, and yes- abortions at some locations. Most women who utilize PP have no other source to turn to. It's not just socially responsible, but fiscally as well. For every Federal dollar spent on PP, Medicaid saves $3.74 (Frost, JJ et al., Contraceptive Needs and Services: National and State Data, 2008 Update, Guttmacher Institute, 2010).

Planned Parenthood does not care about women. Not only do their workers aid and abet the sex trafficking of minors, but their founder, Margaret Sanger, wanted to eventually wipe out "inferior" races and people with cognitive disabilities. Planned Parenthood is responsible for over 300,000 abortions every year. They don't save underage girls from harmful relationships and statutory rape; they provide a "quick fix" to the "problem" and send the girls right back into the dangerous situations.

Look, abortion is but a very minor factor in the exposing of Planned Parenthood by LIve Action. It's the fact that they helped out criminals, knowing full well that they were criminals, and did nothing about these said criminals legal wise. A simple call to the police would've sufficed. But no, they pretended that they didnt hear these awefult testimonies and in some cases just practically said they would give them a "hook-up". That is morally, ethically, religiously, and legally wrong.
