Continue funding for Planned Parenthood in PA
We demand our state legislators reject the manufactured attacks on Planned Parenthood and continue providing state funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides necessary health services to women across the State of Pennsylvania.
Why is this important?
I feel strongly about women's health issues and am concerned that attempts to shut down Planned Parenthood will harm the health of women and infants, especially those who need their services the most. We suffer from an unconscionably high infant mortality rate in Pittsburgh's Hill District. Without the services of Planned Parenthood, I fear the problem will only get worse. As it stands now, none of our not-for-profit public charities, such as hospitals like UPMC, and AGH, seem willing to provide these services at affordable rates to those most in need. We need Planned Parenthood to fulfill this role and provide these vital public health services.
