I wanted to give him this reply:
Maybe because not everyone is insured yet. If we'd have expanded Medicaid in Georgia, part of Obamacare, six hundred thousand more people would have been covered (and using mathematics, at least three hundred thousand women), and be able to have their health needs met. This was part of Obamacare that Gov. Deal, and our Republican State Legislature, would not allow us Georgia citizens to have, even though we paid the taxes for it. And they did it for crass political reasons.
Women went to Planned Parenthood to get their healthcare needs met. They got birth control, that prevents the need for abortions. They were able to get mammograms to be on the lookout for breast cancer, and were able to get other healthcare that is specific to women. Abortions amounted to less than three percent of their business, and none of it paid for with government funds, which is specifically prohibited by federal law, and has been for decades. The latest videos are edited slanders against Planned Parenthood. To believe them is to believe a lie.
Are you going to believe a private interest group that has targeted Planned Parenthood and produced an edited video in order to besmirch an organization that does a lot of good for a lot of people. The video has been shown to be edited to make Planned Parenthood appear to be horrendous. It's a piece of propaganda, nothing more. That's why to believe them is to believe a lie, and the organization that produced them should be called out as liars. No one of any decency need believe what they assert.
