from Nicholas Kristoff’s article in NYT…This in a country where half of all pregnancies are unintended, where 30 percent of American teenage girls become pregnant by age 19.
The Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health, calculates that Title X family planning centers prevent about one million unintended pregnancies a year, of which 345,000 would have ended in abortion. It says that every year Title X clinics avert some 53,000 cases of chlamydia and 8,800 cases of gonorrhea, and save the lives of 1,100 women who would otherwise die of cervical cancer.
In other words, Title X prevents an abortion about once every 90 seconds...."
This should be shoved in the faces of all those ignorant or misinformed senators who voted to defund Planned Parenthood as they have no idea how much good this organization provides…”
Republicans are ignorant of these facts and have it in their fact free minds that all PP does is abortions and sell fetal parts when fetal tissue for research was approved under Reagan, bush, Clinton for 22yrs now and all of them voted for it...for medical research...fetal tissue idiots...not "baby parts".
I stand with Planned Parenthood.
