I received the following response from our Senator over my recent message to him regarding the horrifying legislation passed by the House to remove federal funding from Planned Parenthood. I'm glad to hear that at least one of my senators feels the same way as I do.

Imagine another Zebulin in Oregon! I've eyed this domain for many years. I've found a better alternative now though. :)

I'm afraid I completely disagree with you on Planned Parenthood, however. It's not about womens' rights, but rather the rights of the unborn. I support the House's vote to remove Federal funding for Planned Parenthood. If you support it, donate your own personal money to the cause. But the collective treasury of the people (to which I contribute by paying my taxes) should not be used to fund it.

Cheers!

Considering the enormous amount of good that this organization does provide (women's health, birth control, etc), and the fact that PP doesn't spend federal money on abortions, I cannot agree with your position. All this bill is doing is cutting the funding PP gets to provide these other services. It won't do anything to stop/limit their ability to continue providing abortions.

To me, that's criminal. It's nonsensical. Like most of the bills that our government puts together, it smacks of personal agendas more than advancing our nation as a whole. If you want to support the anti-choice movement, that's all well and good, but lets not forget what this particular bill is about by blinding ourselves to the entirety of the services that this organization provides.

All of those women who might not have found out about cervical cancer until it was too late, who might not have had access to birth control - and therefore might have become mothers, etc etc.

Criminal? Talk about tolerance

Thank you for the opportunity to engage in some stimulating conversation! :)

Indeed. I doubt either of us will sway the other on this issue, but I appreciate your viewpoint, as well.
