According to PP's Western PA Webpage
Title X program PPWP provides free services for teens ages17 and under. For women and men over age 17, fees for services are based on your household income and may be free. - See more at: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pla....3sIUUoqQ.dpuf
Hey you're preaching to the choir even though I am a man and can't comprehend what pregnant women are going through. I realize it's in society's, the woman who is pregnant and doesn't want to be, the woman not pregnant and not wanting to be and the taxpayer's interest and benefit to terminate and prevent any and all unwanted pregnancies and especially for pregnancies that will likely produce yet more societal dependents.
The money spent terminating a pregnancy equals less than two months of support money likely needed for years. Too bad the lifers seem to have more political clout than the fiscally conservative in twisting the arm of the GOP to remain anti-abortion. |
You still haven't provided info that they provide "free" abortions. Don't get me wrong; I'm very glad if they do have the sort of private financing that enables them to help women in trouble, but state and federal monies can't cover the cost, except in some very limited circumstances, so most elective abortions must be paid for by the woman.
Believe me, I'm really, really, really glad we're on the same side in terms of women's reproductive rights. There are a gajillion and one reasons women become accidentally pregnant, and as a society we need to lay off the slut shaming (one of the worst I know personally was a friend whose husband, believing outdated information about the IUD, pushed her to get hers removed and then, when she, surprise, got pregnant, pushed her into an abortion because he didn't want kids. She divorced him eventually, but it took some time for her to get out of the relationship).
And yes, I would also be happy if the GOP would stand up to the Religious Right on this one. I an't holding my breath, though. I may be remembering wrong, but I don't think the current GOP plank includes any sort of exceptions in its stance against abortion. Any at all.
