Planned Parenthood.

       If 100 children were lined up on the playground and 3 of them decided to go back inside, even though that was allowed, would you punish all 100 because of those 3? That's what the Republicans in Congress are trying to do to Planned Parenthood. 3% of the services that Planned Parenthood provides to American women and across the world includes abortion. But only legal abortions are performed and no Federal funds are used for that purpose, NONE.
       But because PP does those very few abortions, all of which are completely legal, because they do provide that service and in many cases because of the medical necessity, because of that, the Republican members of Congress, in both houses, want to strip away all funding of Planned Parenthood. Why? PP is doing nothing illegal. In fact they're probably more concerned about doing right than all of the members of both parties in Congress.
       If the country made abortions completely illegal, Planned Parenthood would stop doing them, but its not illegal to perform an apportion under certain circumstances. Why do the Republicans continue to pick on PP? Don't they realize the good PP does? From STI and HIV tests to PAP tests and breast exams they serve millions of women, many at no cost.
       Maybe that's the problem. Maybe that's why Congressional Republicans can't stand PP. Maybe they don't like PP going around helping women who are poor. I mean why else would they get so hyper about a service provided to others. If they're poor, let them suffer. That'll teach them. Now that's just plain silly, but why should a bunch of old white men decide what or how women, and especially poor women, can care for their bodies. If Planned Parenthood disappears, so does the healthcare for millions of American women. That can't possibly be the reason for Republican conduct, can it?
