Apr 2

The cuts forced 81 clinics, many of them the only medical care in rural areas. Planned Parenthood was not one of them, and only 3 of the clinics had ever performed an abortion. So Republicans forced the closure of 78 clinics doing nothing but providing healthcare for poor women and men all to satisfy their religion that says women are nothing more than baby machines and need no healthcare. These same Republicans are proud that they have the largest population in the country with no access to health insurance and thus must rely on organizations like Planned Parenthood. I’m sure their Jesus believed that poor people deserve no help.
