text: You do not need Planned Parenthood, but don't presume to speak for all alaskan women. PP focuses almost solely on reproductive health issues, which means pretty much women's health. Without the great availability of birth control (online even) many women will try to improvise, and end up pregnant when they really don't want to be. Truth be told, defunding a widely known and versatile women's health provider like PP will cause more unwanted pregnancies. That is the bottom line.
