Presidential race 2016

I don't want to debate abortion again; just jumping in on abortion as it relates to politics.

I think evangelicals and conservative Republican politicians have done a good job distorting what it is that Planned Parenthood does in order to paint the organization as evil for providing abortions.

A lot of people still believe that the government funds (PP) abortions, which it does not. The government doesn't fund elective abortions, period. Still, conservative Republican politicians and evangelical leaders consider it a victory to defund all of the great services PP provides because they disagree with the law allowing for privately-funded abortions on moral grounds.

Just to clarify again...........PP does much more than provide contraception and birth control. It provides millions of cervical cancer screens, provides prenatal care to its pregnant patients, and helps to test and treat sexually transmitted disease for millions of people of all ages and backgrounds, many in urban and/or low-income areas.
