Planned Parenthood in Indiana in Jepordy!
This is on the Indiana Planned Parenthood site. I heard about this on the news this morning and I find it very disturbing!
In my opinion, the closing of Planned Parenthood puts more lives of the living in danger! Women who cannot afford annual exams, and birth control, will be left to become ill, and have no resources to important health care.
Although some say abortion is the issue, the health of 22,000 women is a much larger issue. The fact is abortion is only 6% of their services! I believe that is a lot less than 22,000 potential sisters, mothers, and daughters who could be lost to preventable illness and disease!
Planned Parenthood of Indiana Vows to Keep Fighting
Planned Parenthood of Indiana (PPIN) and its network of supporters are outraged the Indiana State Senate has voted to put the health care of 22,000 Hoosiers at risk and vowed to immediately file for injunctive relief if HB 1210 becomes law, which could be costly for the State of Indiana.The bill’s intent is to immediately shut off nearly $3 million in federal family planning and Medicaid funding that passes through the state to Planned Parenthood of Indiana. The funding pays for preventive health care for low-income Hoosiers – Pap tests, birth control, breast exams and STD testing and treatment. “It’s unconstitutional, on its face,” said PPIN President and CEO Betty Cockrum.
