quote:It has obviously escaped your attention, but it isn't the woman that is aborted, it is the pre-born baby. Also, nobody has total control over their body. For example,suicide is illegal. The argument that she is d9infg5 what she wants with her body is specious as it is done to the baby'shower body, not hers.

While attending college and flight school, I was very financially strapped. I didn't receive any kind of Government assistance, and only carried "catastrophic health insurance" (i.e., kicked in after $7500 deductible).
Planned Parenthood was my primary and only affordable healthcare option. I went there for annual exams and was thankful for their sliding income pay scale. I donate to them now, and will continue to do so, despite whatever ridiculous nonsense the Ultra-Concervatives say. I have never had an abortion, though I fully support a woman's right to have one if she so chooses. I only went to Planned Parenthood for healthcare. Did the protesters outside of EVERY clinic I went to care? Nope. They waved their terrible signs at me, called me a murderer, and tried their best to shame me. They never did, I went in, head held high. Planned Parenthood is so much more than what the "haters" make it out to be.
My mother used to tell me, Republicans and Conservatives love babies...until they are born. Planned Parenthood helped keep me healthy until I was able to carry proper Health Insurance. They have provided many women their ONLY access to regular affordable healthcare. I find it disheartening to see so many women eager to pass laws over other women's bodies. It is a slipery slope once you star passing those kinds of laws. The lines can blur quickly.
We're all here, because we're not all there!
