Planned Parenthood Goes Dark in Indiana

Indiana Republicans have forced the closure of all 28 Planned Parenthood clinics in their state, even though only four of them provided any abortion services. Previously, Planned Parenthood in Indiana earned $1.3 million a year for its work with Medicaid recipients. Those low-income women will now find it much harder to get access to female contraception and basic health care. Many of them will, as a result of this hostility from Indiana Republicans, experience an unplanned pregnancy and will seek out abortions, or they will have less access to health care during their pregnancy, resulting in less healthy babies. I know it's hard to get inside the brains of Republicans, but the opposite of planned parenthood is unplanned parenthood. And it is only the latter that causes elective abortions to occur in the first place. No organization prevents more abortions than Planned Parenthood. Nice work, assholes.

1. and pap smears...other needed tests...that save lives and reduce health care costs

because conditions are caught early enough to cure.

It's a death sentence for many women.

3. No, in other words, Indiana Republicans are NOT pro-life.

If they were, they would have never done this to their neighbors...their daughters.

4. "even though only four of them provided any abortion services"

Proof that it's not just about abortion to the GOP. There's a huge subset of the religious right who believe our problems all started when women were given the means to control their choice to be pregnant.

5. 28 closed clinics leave how many unemployed? nt

6. So, for all the poor, as in financially, women who don't have health care but do have

early stage ovarian or breast cancer, this is it. Indiana should be so proud. :puke:
