Seriously? What the hell?
I just read an article from seattlepi.com about how the government has voted to continue to fund advertisements on NASCAR stock cars. While on the other hand, they are content with killing funding for Planned Parenthood. Are you fucking joking? What the hell is wrong with this world that we can justify advertising but we just can't justify a health facility that helps people who have to no money to get care where they need it the most? Guess what folks, just because you stop funding it, doesn't mean people are going to stop having sex, or using condoms, or getting birth control, or having abortions, or getting PAP SMEARS!! The only thing you are doing is making the treatment of STDs go down, the use and purchase of condoms/birth control by young people go down, therefore creating MORE teen mothers. Is that your ultimate goal? Really? Are you ok with young people resorting to using hangers for abortion because they couldn't afford to go anywhere or they were scared to go somewhere they might be recognized to get an abortion? That they just screw without a prophylactic? The only thing you are creating and endorsing is irresponsibility. Does Planned Parenthood prevent all of these things? Not necessarily, but it does give youth a sense of anonymity when trying to be responsible and making the right choice FOR THEM. You do not need to parent these people or any of us people into your moral corral. We can make our own choices and we don't need you to do that for us.
