Phone Bank and Stand with Planned Parenthood

Phone Bank and Stand with Planned Parenthood

From Planned Parenthood via email today!

“Late Friday, Congress and the President came to an agreement to avoid a government shutdown.  Thanks to all of your hard work, proposed cuts to Planned Parenthood were not included in that agreement! You sent the message loud and clear that women and men deserve access to basic, preventive health care such as cancer screenings, birth control, and STD testing and treatment.

But we are not safe yet. The budget still needs final approval, and it’s possible that Congress could still vote to include these devastating cuts.

Take action by joining us for an upcoming phone bank to let our elected officials know that reproductive health must not be compromised!

When: Tuesday, April 19th, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Where: Planned Parenthood Los Angeles Headquarters
400 W. 30th St. Los Angeles, CA 90007

Feel free to bring friends– we will provide a training and lunch.  Please RSVP to ppla-grassroots@pp-la.org.

Can’t commit to a phone bank but still want to help?  Make a call TODAY to your Congressional Representative and tell them:

  • I am a constituent
  • I support Planned Parenthood
  • I support Title X (“Title Ten”) funding for family planning services

Please click here to find your Representative and call 202-730-9001 to be connected!”

hey you…

Ann richards kid came out and stated if funds are cut women won’t get mammograms. well a group called numerous planned parent hoods and they all said the same thing…”we don’t do mammograms” they offered to go to other clinics and guess what… the women were told ” we don’t do them at all”

Komen who funds money to pph said we are aware they don’t give mammograms we just funnel money through them..

Dear “You Know Me”

First of all, Pulling out the “Hitler” card as a means to describe Planned Parenthood’s objectives is offensive, disgusting and totally without merit.

Second of all, Margaret Sanger has no concept of what Freedom of Choice and Being Pro-life means. Protecting freedom of choice and safe and legal abortions is paramount. Sadly, Roe v Wade has been so grossly attacked, teens in many states cannot get a safe and legal abortion without parental consent. In many states women of legal age cannot get a safe and legal abortion. For you to post rhetoric, which is exactly what her bullshit is, isn’t factual. She’s just another uneducated right wing fascist.

Third, your facts aren’t facts at all. They’re from a biased source. Women not only receive mammograms, they receive multiple health and pre-screening exams. http://bit.ly/QrEnx

Fourth, many outstanding organizations do receive government funding and there is nothing wrong with that. Planned Parenthood happens to be one of them. They also do a lot to lobby for womens health and reproductive rights.

Fifth, Susan G. Komen has nothing to do with Planned Parenthood.

And, finally, this post had nothing to do with what you mentioned or my comment. I will say this, the next time you want to wage war against Planned Parenthood, you better come with accurate facts and not bullshit, biased information.
