Family Planning
Child abuse, abandonment, school dropouts, teen-age pregnancies, gangs, drugs and prisons are so often the results of being “unwanted children.” This is a well-documented fact. Working mostly with Hispanic women in a family planning clinic, I am hearing the recent and desperate concern of “what will we do without the help of this clinic.”
I strongly plead with the governor to restore these much-needed funds for family planning, which ultimately benefit us all.
