Planned Parenthood

See this is the stuff that makes no sense to me at all. How can you say you are Godly or a good Christian then deny someone the very basic rites of their beliefs because they think different from others? The hypocrisy that permeates organized religion at times baffles my mind. I am not saying all organized religions are like this but man when you ... Read Morehere stuff like this it just makes you wonder exactly what it is that people are worshiping. I have always like to think that God is one of tolerance, acceptance and kindness towards others. I just don't understand the attitudes of people like this Bishop, it is just wrong.

I posted a comment on your article. Thank you for taking the time to shed light on this important issue. It takes advocates who are willing to speak with articulation and intelligence when voicing their opinion on this issue. Kudo's my friend. Very well done.

If we did not have insurance I am not sure how we would have had the means to afford these medical needs. Healthcare needs to focus on much broader issues than just the basics. I am often shocked at how we live in the greatest country in the world yet in so many ways our healthcare system is subpar for those who need it the most. ... Read More

Keep your head up Emily. I know it is hard but hopefully there really is strength in numbers and together we will be able to make a difference in the lives of families like yours and mine.

I sort of got around it by posting this http://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/healthreform/index.htm

We'll see how long that's allowed

I posted it using a separate link too. I meant, what can we do so FB doesn't do the anti's bidding for them. This is just wrong. And our content isn't "abusive"!

Thinking back to the late 1960s when we fought so hard for making abortion safe and legal.. (sigh) WHY are we still doing this??

WOuld love to come show support if it wasn't in the middle of finals week! :(

we will become like 3rd world countries where only the rich can have healthcare. We need to educate the women to make a safer world

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Doreen.
