OVERLAND PARK, Kansas - The U.S. Senate rejected the latest effort to defund Planned Parenthood's family planning services.
Lawmakers who oppose the funding said taxpayer dollars should not go to an organization that provides abortions.
Susan Loyacono, a Kansas City resident has a very different perspective.
She was laid off from her job and began working as a freelance writer.
During that time, Loyacono said she did not have health insurance.
“I became sick and became increasingly sick. What was happening was I was hemorrhaging,” she said.
Without health insurance Loyacono could not find a doctor who would help her.
That is when she called Planned Parenthood out of desperation.
“They were the only people who said we will help you, come in now.”
Tests revealed Loyacono was suffering from a severe iron deficiency and losing blood.
“If I had waited much longer, I could have died,” she said.
