Some folks seem to think I occasionally have interesting things to say. I don't always agree.

On Those Planned Parenthood Cuts The GOP wants
Federal funding and Planned Parenthood. | Adventures in Ethics and Science: "What will happen if Planned Parenthood is defunded? It is very simple. More women will die of otherwise preventable or treatable breast and cervical cancers and potentially of complications of infections such as HIV; more women will have unintended pregnancies leading to more women seeking abortions; fewer women raped or experiencing gender-based violence in their homes at the hands of intimate partners will get health care or referrals to shelters (of which of course there will be few anyway because funds for those also are being cut). More women who rely on Planned Parenthood to identify conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes will not get necessary referrals for treatment. More families will suffer."

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
