It is a place that helps stop the spread of infectious diseases, offers counseling/rehab services, and exposes people (though mirrors in the injection rooms) to the realities of their addictions. <br /><br />It makes me so sad that the people in greatest need of being supported and treated humanely are consistently denied the tools needed to pull themselves out of the gutter. <br /><br />Gahhhhh!!!

I agree with the others...the whole cutting of funding for Planned Parenthood makes me really upset. Even if 96% was being used for abortions, and not 3%, who are these politicians to impose their views of abortion onto the general population? I am a conservative Christian who will probably not perform elective abortions in my practice and I feel comfortable saying that. These politicians need to get over themselves and do what's best for the common good.Red Stethoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992586010449970700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065537652305305479.post-60429261510663462862011-05-20T13:47:23.539-07:002011-05-20T13:47:23.539-07:00Funding for Planned Parenthood already stipulates ...Funding for Planned Parenthood already stipulates that it not be used for abortions. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when issues like these come up because everyone that I know that's used Planned Parenthood for women's health, or WIC, or head start, even if they don't still, understand how important the programs are. There are a lot of military families that use WIC and Head Start, would these same politicians seem anti-military if that point was brought up?<br /><br />Yes, instead of focusing on these small portions of the deficit, let's spend more time going after those that put us in this recession in the first place, and make sure it can't happen again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065537652305305479.post-78757860168223910682011-05-20T10:42:29.405-07:002011-05-20T10:42:29.405-07:00LOL - love that saying!

So true, right?<br /><br />Maybe the politicians setting forth some of these policies should apply Planned Parenthood concepts to their own personal lives while they're at it.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279024496618663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065537652305305479.post-78816795839986745622011-05-20T10:32:15.004-07:002011-05-20T10:32:15.004-07:00That saying is hilarious and so true!

Personally, I think they should just put a clause in that eliminates funding for the use of abortion, but not for everything. Too many people rely on PP for pap smears, STD/HIV testing, birth control, etc. It's just ridiculous how many bozo's are "running" this country...Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844401897114561584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065537652305305479.post-86209609573238085572011-05-20T10:21:20.274-07:002011-05-20T10:21:20.274-07:00Zazzy, I think it is an old war protesters saying,...Zazzy, I think it is an old war protesters saying, probably from the love children of the 60's. <br />I don't think those programs will close, but that is not where the politicians should be looking, when not one person who caused the financial collapse has ever gone to jail.NPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669816146120005101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065537652305305479.post-4678569682960994102011-05-20T09:09:29.557-07:002011-05-20T09:09:29.557-07:00Holy Moly I haven't heard that saying before, ...Holy Moly I haven't heard that saying before, but thanks for opening my eyes to it.<br /><br />I personally have used Planned Parenthood, WIC, and HeadStart.
