Woman strips to show fresh mastectomy scars as Virginia official calls to defund Planned Parenthood
One Roanoke County resident, Leigh Anne Woods, took off her shirt in front of Bedrosian to reveal scars from her double mastectomy, which she had weeks earlier due to breast cancer. Woods claimed she had learned breast health from Planned Parenthood and might not have discovered the cancer otherwise.

A woman who was identified as Leigh Anne Woods by WDBJ walked up the podium and took her shirt off as Bedrosian was speaking.
“You have a problem because they perform abortions, look at everything else they do, they save lives!” Woods said.
“It’s more than birth control,” she insisted. “It’s more than abortion. They save lives.”
Woods told WDBJ that she wanted to show the county supervisor the scars from the mastectomy she had just weeks earlier, and she credited Planned Parenthood for saving her life.
