The video about Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue is a fabrication, a lie, made by right wingers who do not care one iota about children that are alive, only gestational fetuses.

Where are the caring Republicans who want to provide health care to poor women and their families in need? Nowhere! These same "pro-lifers" (an oxymoron for sure) decry poor women who have to feed the children the "pro-lifers" insist the poor must carry. Women with financial means will make sure they get medical services.

Only 3% of Planned Parenthood's budget goes to abortion services. That means a full 97% of its services are for women's, neonatal and family health. That includes birth control services. Take away that funding and more women and babies will die from inadequate health care. Without birth control services, more women will get pregnant and there will then be MORE ABORTIONS! Is that what you really want?!?!?!?

The Supreme Court, rightfully so decided that abortions should be legal in all 50 states back in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. That was a great decision and a great day. It gave women control of their reproductive rights. No one should tell a woman she should remain pregnant if she does not want to be! All children SHOULD be wanted and not a consequence.

The Republicans only want to chip away at women's rights and autonomy. It is for that reason, and among others, that the Republican leadership and platform make me sick.

I like it here in The Villages, but it is the preponderance of Republicans that makes the place far from perfect.

PLAN PARENTHOOD deserves every penny it gets. Their budget should be expanded. If any of you were truly Christian, you would see that Planned Parenthood benefits those in need and you would support its programs.
