Editorial: Defunding Planned Parenthood Would Hurt Care
A San Jose Mercury News editorial argues that "cutting off funding to Planned Parenthood actually would cut off millions of women from health care, including cancer screenings, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases and, yes, contraception." It continues, "Opponents of abortion have a right to argue for making it illegal," adding, "But using Planned Parenthood as a symbol and cutting its funding will create massive collateral damage among the poor women who will lose health care."
