On the recordJanuary 6, 2016
The relentless attacks on Planned Parenthood and other healthcare providers must stop and they will stop. Planned Parenthood serves almost 3 million American women, and there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood to possibly justify the defunding of the Nation's leading provider of reproductive health care whose work helps to avoid thousands and thousands of abortions because they provide planned parenthood. We should stop this latest effort to defund Planned Parenthood--and we will because this bill is going nowhere--and instead take affirmative steps to improve women's access to health care in this great Nation. Enough is enough.
