No indictment against Planned Parenthood. This grand jury cleared PPGC of breaking the law. However, the grand jury did hand down indictments for two individuals who were involved in making the allegations against PPGC public via covert recordings made in April 2015.

No I haven't, but nothing you said justifies the existence of PP.

1: if it is a simple question it can wait, if your gyno doesn't have time to see you go to a new one. There are more PCP's than PP, so that argument doesn't even make sense.

2:planned parenthood doesn't have rape kits. Please provide a link showing that.

The only thing they offer are emergency contraception and STI testing. Which any PCP or hospital can provide.

3: Again you think we should create and pay more than half a billion dollars are year because your confused? The only thing that you seem to be confused about is that questions can all be answered by your PCP. Actually the person that sees you more often and knows your medical history is better the PP.

4: I don't know where you live or what type of doctors you see, but I can call in to my doctor and see him the same of next day. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to talk to your parents or doctor about your medical problems, but if it's because your embarrassed maybe you just need to grow up. If you think your doctor gives a shit about you being pregnant or having a STD you're crazy. That doctor doesn't care anymore than the one at PP. So your argument is "We need this place because they have doctors that I can go to when I'm to embarrassed to go to my doctor."

Just because you have been conditioned to believe that PP is needed doesn't mean it is. It was created to provide these services to women during a time when it was illegal or doctors would refuse service. Women back in 1916 were brave enough to create this so that women today did need it. You think those women would be embarrassed to go to their doctor about those issues. they would have loved to have had that opportunity that your complaining about. PP isn't needed because the women back then succeeded. Abortion is legal, there are many women doctors, and society either accepts or doesn't care about you and your sex life.
