    I wish I had more money to donate to Planned Parenthood. I also wish white women cared about this as much as they care about yoga, avocados, cats, perfume and food allergies and getting fat. Then we'd never have to worry about finding PP again.

      You donate what you can. It never ceases to amaze me white men’s feverish desire to control women. The GOP and conservatives love to pat themselves on the back saying they are “protecting the unborn”, but demonize them and their parents once the child is born and the caretaker applies for public assistance or subsidized child care or public housing. They are hypocrites pure and simple.

    MEN: this affects you too!

    Planned Parenthood offers low cost HIV and STD testing for MEN. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2016/06/24/right-wing-medias-obsession-planned-parenthood-thwarting-local-efforts-reduce-hiv-rates/211186

    Attacks on PP affect ALL of us. So how about a little help?

    I love how you didn’t ever say if you ended up getting an abortion or not, because IT IS NOBODY’S FUCKING BUSINESS if you did.

      The “it’s nobody’s business” line is considered in some circles to sound supportive, while being anything but.

      However they go, these are Nia Martin-Robinson’s stories, to share, to hold private, to shout or to keep in close confidence, and these choices are hers.

      It’s fine that she didn’t say, but it is, at best, weird for you to love that she didn’t.

      From ShoutYourAbortion

      Although a quarter of American women have abortions and seventy percent of Americans support abortion rights, access has been decimated in recent years and Roe vs. Wade is on the brink of reversal. This disconnect between public opinion and policy is a direct result of the prevailing expectation that those who have abortions remain silent, and this silence has allowed the anti-choice movement to dominate the conversation, unchallenged.

    I just watched the documentary Jackson and it was showing several issues that this article is discussing. The ridiculous TRAP laws and the misinformation campaign by the anti-choice crowd and how it affected a clinic that primarily serves black women. It was super disturbing to watch an anti-choice white woman who runs a Crisis Pregnancy Center try to talk a black woman with several children into not using contraception.
