I really don't fucking understand how they get to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I just really don't get it.

IA. And PP is helping the working poor in a hell of a lot of ways (many of which aren't covered either adequately or at all by any other organization).

Arizona is becoming like Florida for intolerance. Law forbidding hospitals to pre-emptively care for undocumented immigrants? Arizona. Cutting funding for Planned Parenthood and only focusing on their abortion services? Arizona.

We should force them to fully secede already.

The House last week approved a separate bill that would prohibit abortions sought because of the race or sex of the fetus or the race of a parent.

Right, because women will skip into Planned Parenthood and tell the staff that they're having an abortion for one of those reasons. What a stupid, stupid, pointless bill designed to score cheap points with the anti-woman crowd.
