This isn't a real blog so much as an announcement: the US House of representatives voted to stop federal funding for Planned Parenthood's birth control, HIV testing, cancer screenings etc. This is completely out of line.
I know many girls who have gone to Planned Parenthood because they could not tell their parents they were sexually active or didn't have the money to pay for STD/STI testing or birth control. This organization provided a judgment free and honest environment about sex. It is vital that this law be reversed! Too many men and women don't get tested because they are scared and poor, this new law can cause higher rates of STD/STI/HIV and unwanted pregnancies.
People are scared enough to go to the doctor, let's not make it worse!
Go to the Planned Parenthood website and sign their online petition!
