text: If by "abortion-related services" you mean gynecological exams, cancer screening, screening and treatment for STDs, and providing birth control, all on a sliding-scale for people who often can't afford these services elsewhere, you would be correct. Planned Parenthood was the only health care I could afford in my early twenties. They detected pre-cancerous changes on my pap smear and provided treatment, something that would not have been possible at any other health care provider, due to lack of insurance. Planned Parenthood is a necessary, vital resource that needs to remain available to women and men.
