Rep. Taylor on Planned Parenthood:

[midnight]

When I went to work for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) in 2003 as their
legislative director, I was unprepared for the attacks this organization experiences
on a routine basis. There are organizations solely dedicated to shutting Planned
Parenthood down, and more pop up every day. Even before the 2010 tea party
takeover in state Capitols around the country, including ours, the relentless legal
and political attacks on Planned Parenthood were unending.


I thought I knew something about courage, but what I learned at PPWI was that I
knew nothing about it. The staff and physicians who walk into a health center every
day, who are targeted and harassed while their workplace is sometimes vandalized
and threatened, are the heroes. And they do it every day because there are
thousands of women in our state who simply wouldn’t have access to birth control,
cervical and breast cancer screens or testing and treatment for Sexually Transmitted
Diseases without PPWI. Even though abortion is only a tiny piece of the services
PPWI provides, it is a critical service. And there are people in our state who risk
their lives every day to provide it.
