Some Disturbing News From South of The Border

There has recently been a push within the government of the United States to severely limit the access to abortions. This movement seems to be peeling back time as the advances made by women's movements over the past decades are set to be destroyed. Even more alarming still is the fact that Planned Parenthood, a publicly funded sexual health provider would stand to loose its funding if these bills were to go through. The result would be to close the doors of their clinics which serve over 3 million patients per year.

For Planned Parenthood however, abortions account for roughly ten percent of their services. The rest is taken up by prevention. Removing their budget would simply mean more abortions, not less, with the risk of many of those abortions being performed in unsafe environments.
