NJ Gov. wants to pull funding for all planned parenthood.
Even though

Family-planning centers that largely serve low-income women would lose all of their state funding - $7.5 million - under the budget Gov. Christie proposed Tuesday.

The agencies helped 136,000 people last year, mostly women. Of those, 70 percent had no health insurance and an additional 20 percent were on Medicaid, Jaker said.

"A large portion of the people we see are trying not to get pregnant. We're a provider of last resort," she said. If patients can't get access to the clinics, "you're going to see an increase in unintended pregnancies, and you're going to see an increase in abortion."

And State dollars are not used for abortion services.

2. When I was married and unemployed, I got my pills at Planned Parenthood and I've been grateful it
was an option.

I put "married" not because I personally gave a shit whether I was married or not when having sex, but to show lurkers that yes, sometimes good married women need help from PP, not just the "sluts."

(Heavy irony used in all terms in this post.)

6. Chis Christie is an ignorant, short-sighted hateful evil man
so it stands to reason his actions would reflect that.
