Ms. Richards did a fabulous job on the Daily Show!
A lot of information was derived from both the show and the interview by Eleanor.
Well, Planned Parenthood might not do mammograms I don’t think the lie was good idea but their point is still valid. Planned Parenthood does more than just aorbtions: they provide counseling, birth control, Pap smears and breast exams, Pelvic exams, yearly exams, STI screening, and much more. If you’re a woman, you understand that it might take a month or so to get an appointment at your regular GYN to get looked at. With PP, for me, the wait was only a couple days.Due to a lack of insurance, and a need of Birth Control pills, about 5 years ago, in shame, I broke down and went. I not only need BC pills for their intended purpose the hormones help regulate my moods greatly. My experience there was terrific. Everyone was caring and kind. They even counseled me on types of birth control, even though I had made up my mind. I wouldn’t dream of defunding them, even for a moment. If you’d like to, I have this to say: “Geraldine Santoro”Thank you.
