Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood is so necessary and does wonderful outreach for West Virginian women. Both mothers and children are so much healthier because of the preventive care, cancer screenings, and much needed contraception that Planned Parenthood provides.

Planned Parenthood makes a difference. Please do not let this program end. It is so necessary in our state!

Why is this important?

I just can't believe that our Republican leaders are threatening to shut down the entire federal government over this issue. As a retired teacher who worked not only with children but, through Title I, also with their parents, I can honestly tell you that this program is essential. Because of Planned Parenthood, our mothers are much healthier thanks to preventive care, cancer screenings and contraception. Please, do not let Planned Parenthood come to an end. It is just too important!
