Planned Parenthood-- $$$

Planned Parenthood provides basic medical services to about 5 MILLION women each year. That is more people than those who serve in the US Military- to give you some scale. 5 MILLION per year, below actual cost which is why they are supplemented by the U.S. government. Poppa Bush wrote the initial funding bill when he was a Congressman from Texas.

5 MILLION

Who would like to eliminate Planned Parenthood as a provider? Planned Parenthood a low-cost non-profit provider?

The for-profit Doc-in-a-box* and Hospital corporations?

$$$
Always the $$$.




*my Primary Care Provider is a Doc-in-a-box due to convenience of location and schedule.
