As a member of the clergy in Augusta, I am proud to support Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood works hard to bring health care to communities such as Augusta that need greater access to services such as contraception; breast and cervical cancer screenings; disease prevention and treatment; and comprehensive sex education. To seek to cut funding for Planned Parenthood is to deny low-income women and families access to these vital health-care services.
