Georgia cuts off STD testing kits to Planned Parenthood Those RESPONSIBLE Republicans who cut funding for STD testing... Now there is the group RESPONSIBLE for epidemic of STD's that will follow... Teenagers who have no other access to STD testing will now just 'wing it' and as has happened in the past, the number of STD's, especially among teenagers will skyrocket.
Good thing we have RESPONSIBLE REPUBLICANS to cut funding to PP!

Georgia cuts off STD testing kits to Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood said this week that funding for the kits, which test for chlamydia and gonnorhea, ended last Friday. A Georgia public health official said the money for the kits had simply dried up. Gov. Nathan Deal ordered a state investigation of Planned Parenthood Southeast after a nationwide furor erupted over Planned Parenthood's practice, in some states, of harvesting and donating fetal body parts after abortions. Planned Parenthood in Georgia does not donate or sell fetal tissues but disposes of them according to state law; that is, it employs a contractor to incinerate them.
So... even though PP of Georgia doesn't use fetal cells for research and instead, has them burnt in an incinerator... STD FUNDING HAS ENDED IN GEORGIA!
That'll fix em!

There are MANY other health clinics other than PP. For example here in Schenectady Hometown Health is right next door to PP. Hometown health offers womans services for example pap smears, STD testing AND birth control.
If anyone on this board is interested in the PP video FACTS, and many are not, be sure to read these FACTS:
WASHINGTON -- In the second GOP presidential debate Wednesday night, candidate Carly Fiorina passionately described a graphic scene from an undercover video of Planned Parenthood in which a fetus that survived an abortion waits, its "heart beating" and "legs kicking," for a technician to harvest its brain. On Friday, House Republicans passed a pair of bills inspired by the same videos: One measure would defund Planned Parenthood and another would protect "abortion survivors."
The problem is, the videos are so heavily edited that they bear little resemblance to reality, and the scene Fiorina described doesn't exist.
She was most likely referring to the video in which Holly O'Donnell, a former procurement technician for a biomedical company, talks about having seen a fully formed aborted fetus, with its heart still beating, in a pathology lab. The video doesn't show any footage from the scene, but instead shows a graphic image of someone holding a small fetus in their hands. NOW FOR THE FACTS... THE ONES SOME TOTALLY IGNORE:
That image is not an aborted fetus, as the video suggests. Rather, it was taken from the blog of a woman named Alexis Fretz, who miscarried at 19 weeks and posted images of her still-born baby online.
I know, I know... for some reason I just assume that when people post here, they want to post actual FACTS, you know the actual truth! How niave of me!

YUP, and years from now, they may be where PP is now with the capability of serving those in need... but at present, there is no one who comes close to PP.

Planned Parenthood has 59 independent local affiliates that operate approximately 700 health centers throughout the United States, providing high-quality services to women, men, and teens. Planned Parenthood often is the only source of family planning for a large proportion of the women we serve.
So... where is the USA going to find, fund, staff and organize 700 qualified health centers all at once? The answer of course is they are not.

Does it bother anyone that this attack on PP is based on lies???
Is a LIE acceptable as long as it has the desired political outcome???
Does it bother anyone that this LIE will cause outbreaks of STD's throughout our high schools as has happened in the past?
For example, Louisiana:
Quoted Text
“We have a syphilis epidemic right now in New Orleans,” said Dr. Taylor, the medical director overseeing programs to combat sexually transmitted infections for the State Office of Public Health. She is also the director of Louisiana State University’s sexually transmitted infections program, which operates in the wellness center here. Louisiana ranks first among the states in cases of gonorrhea, second in chlamydia, and third in syphilis and H.I.V., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What the Louisiana Planned Parenthood clinics did do last year was administer nearly 20,000 tests for sexually transmitted infections, as well as provide gynecological exams, contraceptive care, cancer screenings and other wellness services for nearly 10,000 mostly low-income patients.
“You can’t just cut Planned Parenthood off one day and expect everyone across the city to absorb the patients,” Dr. Taylor said. “There needs to be time to build the capacity.”
In the meantime, the children of Louisiana will grow up in the midst of a STD Epidemic. Is that the RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO???

Indiana Shut Down Its Rural Planned Parenthood Clinics And Got An HIV Outbreak
Quoted Text
Scott County, Indiana, the center of an exploding HIV outbreak, has been without an HIV testing center since early 2013, when the sole provider -- a Planned Parenthood clinic -- was forced to close its doors. The clinic did not offer abortion services.

like I said....PP will disappear as it is currently and get absorbed into the national medicare healthcare system,,,,,
PP will cease to be a banner and a controversy....the services they provide under that title will be done by the new system and those services will cease to be controversial because they will not be in the limelight.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

they are just being the 'bad cop' in the whole scenario so that the public believes it's a win for 'their side' no matter which side they fall on abortion.....
it will soon become a non-issue and the public will be well played like a cello, believing they 'won', whatever winning means in their eyes.
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

oooooo.....men must be getting nervous....does that mean they can't have irresponsible sex like rabbits?
perhaps men should take birth control pills (hormones)....now that's a concept.

More PP Video Lies! (But We Already Knew That) Those have been the question since Wednesday's debate, when Carly Fiorina graphically described a scene she claimed appeared in those heavily-edited Planned Parenthood "sting" videos.
But pressed to identify which video contains the gruesome scene Fiorina described, neither her campaign nor the anti-abortion group who produced the sting videos have been able to do so.

One thing that helps elect Conservatives... Conservative voters don't care about FACTS! It doesn't have to be true... it just has to 'sound true'!
