9. Planned Parenthood has become a target

simply because they perform abortions. I was in my 20's when Roe v Wade was handed down. I worked in a hospital and we saw scheduled D&C's all the time. Sometimes a pregnancy test would be ordered, sometimes not. When someone questioned the pathologist about abortions being performed, she clammed up.. medical privacy and privilege, nobody's business but the patient and the doctor.
I love Planned Parenthood, they saved my life. I used to volunteer as a escort to women using the PP clinic in Denver. It was where abortions were performed and the picketers were there every Sat. morning. Abortion facilities should be part of any public hospital as part of basic health care provided for women, not isolated from other medical facilities for purely anti choice purposes.
