Keeping Abortion/reproductive services open and available
 

Please see Women need the clinics like Planned Parenthood as they are invaluable for Women to take control of their reproductive health. I myself am a former victim of a violent rape and was VERY thankful to be able to decide to not continue with the pregnancy. No one is truly FOR abortion if Pro Choice. They are for being able to have the choice in circumstances like mine to control a very bad outcome. I also am prone to blood clotting severely when pregnant and the doctors always warned me I may die if went to term in a Pregnancy with a Pulmonary Emboli. Being raped I did not have the opportunity to protect myself from an unwanted pregnancy. I hope you consider and realize this. Thank you. Sincerely Elizabeth Martin.
