Planned Parenthood to Sarah Palin: You are NOT our Candidate

Planned Parenthood has sent out an email specifically outlining why Sarah Palin is NOT the choice for women. Here is the text:

Dear Sarah Palin,

You are not our candidate.

You are not our candidate because you required women in Wasilla to pay for their own medical examinations after being raped.

You are not our candidate because you do not support a woman's right to choose, even in the case of rape or incest.

You are not our candidate because you've cut funding for teen moms and comprehensive sex education, while promoting failed abstinence-only programs.

You are not our candidate because, as vice president — a heartbeat away from the presidency — you would jeopardize health care for women everywhere.

We are teachers, doctors, athletes, programmers, artists, lawyers, secretaries, CEOs, students, designers, nurses, factory workers, mothers, and fathers. We are conservatives and liberals, Democrats and Republicans, country and city people. We are women and men. We are voters. We are the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

We believe in a woman's right to choose and the right of every person to have access to complete reproductive health care. We are hundreds of thousands strong, and we are doing everything we can to make sure you are not elected.

You are not our candidate.

This is why I think the so-called "PUMA" movement is largely fictional. Why would ANY Hillary Clinton supporter opt to vote for a candidate that requires victims of rape to pay for their own rape kit and forces that rape victim to carry the rapist's baby to term? Why would ANY Hillary Clinton supporter opt to vote for a candidate who opposes proper health care and family planning options for all women? Why would ANY Hillary Clinton Supporter go against the combined endorsements of NOW, NARAL and Planned Parenthood?

Hillary Clinton supporters are smart and reasonable individuals. They would not sacrifice all that they and Hillary Clinton have fought for for decades. I believe that the Clinton vote will solidly support Barack Obama because he is the true feminist, pro-choice, pro-family planning candidate.

QUOTES

"What James Madison and the other men of his generation had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment was that there should be no official relationship of any character between government and any church or many churches, and no levying of taxes for the support of any church, or many churches, or all churches, or any institution conducted by any of them."

— -- Sam Ervin
