In His Own Words
"Planned Parenthood is a key provider of primary care for women, men, and families across the country. In red states and blue states, crowded cities and rural towns, people come to Planned Parenthood health centers every day for diagnostic tests, counseling referrals, family planning, and a range of preventative and acute care services. ” 1
"Women are human beings with the same sacred right of autonomy over their bodies granted to all of us. If a government can dehumanize a woman seeking reproductive care, no right of humanity will stand sacred anymore."
