I stand with Planned Parenthood because they are there for low income women like me. If it weren't for Planned Parenthood, I wouldn't be able to have an annual exam every year. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
More to the point, Christensen brings up a very important point - the current funding debates aren't just about Planned Parenthood. When the government tries to tell PRIVATE insurance companies what kind of coverage they can and can't offer, they have completely overstepped their bounds. What happened to the credo "the government with governs least governs best"? What if Congress were telling private insurance companies they couldn't cover prostate exams or Viagra? Then we'd really have a hullabaloo on our hands.
And to chuckj, at least your daughter is making responsible choices to be on birth control so that she doesn't get knocked up. Too bad there isn't an open dialogue at your house that would make her feel comfortable discussing her choices with you.
