The Green Party of Philadelphia (GPOP, www.gpop.org) demands an end to the political pandering and malicious assaults on women’s reproductive services in our state.

Right-wing Pennsylvanian lawmakers continue to attack poor and low-income people. This time, 35 conservative Representatives are going after women by sponsoring House Bill 2405. Misleadingly titled the Whole Woman’s Health Funding Priorities Act, this bill proposes to stop state funding from going to providers of women’s health care services, such as Planned Parenthood, if they also perform abortions.

Their motives became crystal clear when one of the sponsors told the press that “the taxpayer funds [Planned Parenthood clinics] receive are essentially used to fund and create a public relations image of health and wellness while their main mission is the death of children through abortion.” The reality is that there already is a ban in place so that no state or federal funding can go to abortion services. Essentially, HB 2405 has nothing to do with abortion. (more…)
