    In addition, Planned Parenthood isn’t just an abortion clinic. It’s much more, providing crucial anonymous and free healthcare to the communities it serves.

    The cynic in me thinks that’s kind of the point. It’s bad for their lobbyist friends to have there be an alternative that doesn’t involve shoveling one’s life savings into the privatized healthcare system.

    eta: that leaves nearly 90% of their patients seeking non-abortive care. I don’t know if it’s the same today, but in my day, they were the major non-school, community sex-Ed advocacy group.

    Or that. That’s a good reason for conservatives to hate it, too.
