Political Quotes

“Madam President, before us this evening is a decision whether or not to take money away from Planned Parenthood. For close to 100 years, Planned Parenthood has provided critical health services to millions, providing care to 2.7 million people in 2013 alone. In fact, many Planned Parenthood affiliates operate in rural and medically underserved areas. In some cases, closing these facilities could cause patients to travel great distances to receive health services. Now, that said, I find the videos at issue to be extremely disturbing and I believe we have a responsibility to determine all the facts. More investigation is needed before we even start talking about taking away vital health services like annual wellness exams and cancer screenings from the millions who rely on them for care.”
