Medical Freedom and privacy for all
 

Do not let anyone take away anyone else's constitutionally guaranteed freedom in this country just because he or she has a loud voice or controlling nature.  Do not let the Catholic Church or any other religion trample on the rights that have been given to us all, including women.  All religions in the US have the right to practice freely in this great country, but that does not mean that they can force their beliefs upon others.  Do not let belligerent men with controlling natures attempt to intervene in the medical destiny (or any other destiny) of American women.  Where I live in Charlottesville there are religious zealots (who for some reason have nothing else to do, and are almost always men) who stand outside of planned parenthood rocking and praying, blatently attempting to influence patients who seek medical advice or help there.

Let's ask our government to get real, to stand up and  treat and protect women like equal citizens of our great country from this type of persecution and humiliation.

To that end, let's protect Planned Parenthood also from this ridiculous, disgraceful attempt by a small group of yes, zealots, from intervening in a women's right to safe medical care.
