What does this mean? It means that Congress has voted to strip monies that allow many of these clinics to provide low-cost HIV tests, cancer screenings, birth control, prenatal care, and other lifesaving services. Some clinics may be forced to close, resulting in the thousands upon thousands of women (and men) who receive care going without.
However, there is still a chance that this funding won't be zeroed out and that chance is the U.S. Senate.
So, what can you do? You can STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD and fill out the online letter that will be sent directly to your Senator, asking him/her to stop this legislation. (Link: STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD) [NOTE: Over 50,000 people had completed this online letter only one hour after the legislation passed in Congress, which speaks volumes]. You can also call, email or write your Senator directly, as well as contact your Congressperson to either thank or spank him/her on yesterday's vote.
Ralph and I STAND WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD, do you?
