The U.S. House of Representatives has just voted to bar Planned Parenthood health centers from all federal funding for birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other lifesaving care.
It is the most dangerous legislative assault in our history, and it cannot go unanswered. We — Planned Parenthood and the three million women, men, and teens who are at risk of losing access to basic care — need you to stand united with us now.Not only do I find the vote of my U.S. House of Representatives absolutely disgusting, it’s beyond embarrassing. I mean, really? As an American, a woman, and most importantly… a human being, I feel betrayed.
Come America, let’s prioritize here.
Personally I haven’t stepped foot in a Planned Parenthood but it’s comforting to know that my peers and myself have a safe place to turn to when in need. An affordable place free of judgment and with vast knowledge on subjects many are too coward to even whisper about.
In a time where teen pregnancy is being glamorized by my beloved yet disappointing pop culture, a time that abstinence only lessons are still being issued at schools as “Sex Education” — it’s more the reason why this vote is absolutely ridiculous.
So please spread the word and join me in this stand with Planned Parenthood.

I rarely reblog from my personal blog on FYLG but I felt this to be appropriate. Gaga is an advocate of knowledge, health, safe sex, and has demonstrated her support of Planned Parenthood in the past by promoting Proper Attire Condoms.
My fellow American monsters, let’s not let the government take control of this issue. Stand with Planned Parenthood.
