Support for Planned Parenthood

January 24, 2023 by Guest Post

by Gretchen Spiess, Stevensville

You may think that all Planned Parenthood does is abortions, but they do a lot more that most people don’t know about. Until recently, Planned Parenthood was the only place for low income women to get health care.  Having lived most of my life earning well under the poverty level, Planned Parenthood was a life saver for me, literally. It was my doctor at Planned Parenthood that found my cervical cancer and it was Planned Parenthood that brought the top oncologist from Cedar Sinai to do my biopsies and confirm their findings. I would never have had the finances to be seen by that specialist. Planned Parenthood saw me through my treatment and let me pay what I could afford each month till the bill was paid, charging no interest.

So no matter what side of the abortion issue you are on, please support Planned Parenthood. They save lives.

    Gretchen – do you know the history of planned parenthood? Do you know that Margaret Sanger wanted and encouraged Blacks to get abortions so they as a population wouldn’t grow? Do you know about them selling baby parts from aborted babies?

    Here is something you should look at and dispute:
