Don't Defund Planned Parenthood!

Senator Portman and other Ohio Republicans in Congress continue to play politics with women's health. Now, they have chosen to support the discredited "Center for Medical Progress" (CMP) videos instead of their constituents. Not only should women of any socioeconomic background be able to access abortion counseling and care (as is their right after Roe), but they should also have access to contraception, well-woman exams, cancer screenings, and STD testing. Planned Parenthood cannot be replaced in providing this care, as Crisis Pregnancy Centers are not required to (and do not) provide medically accurate information. Furthermore, these centers fail to employ certified health care providers (doctors, nurses, physician assistants, etc.) to safely and honestly treat their patients.
