I just found this at Bitch Ph.D. A little late - sorry.

...

call your Representatives TODAY to protect funding for Planned Parenthood.
I'm trying to reach out to all the blogs I read that have smart, prochoice authors:

I just learned (via NFPRHA) that Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) is poised to offer an amendment today to the LHHS spending bill (HR 3043) that would prohibit Planned Parenthood from receiving Title X funding. This amendent would effectively defund 13 percent of Title X family planning clinics and threaten access to family planning services for millions of low-income women and men.

Please reach out and urge your Representatives to vote NO....

...

May be too late - and it IS too late for me to look into it tonight (this morning) - worth looking into, however. I'll try to check it out tomorrow.

1. Planned Parenthood rocks.

The compassion of the health care providers and the different services are an invaluable community resource. Health education, check ups, birth control, prenatal care, social service and other health care referrals when needed, cancer screening, STD screening. Why anyone would cut funding-- well WE know it's bullshit. I have a friend who works at a PP clinic. She finds it very rewarding. I suppose this is some asshole who calls it "an abortion clinic"
