Planned Parenthood

But what we're doing is building a coalition, a coalition that's not focused on partisan labels, but around our shared values of individual liberty.

And I'm honored to have the support of Planned Parenthood to protect women's reproductive freedom.

I'm honored to have the support of key environmental conservation groups that that really resonates with Montana.

I'm honored to have the support of labor.

one count of perjury because she lied repeatedly under oath during court and paternity proceedings regarding her pregnancy status and medical history.

And I remember the one thing from listening to the show that really stuck out to me of her literally lying on the stand was I remember she said, oh, you know, I went to the Planned Parenthood in Mission Viejo and you won't be able to find my medical records because I went under an anonymous name.

And Planned Parenthood responded, and they were like, you literally can't do that.

You can't do that.

Like, we need your real name so we can, like, send you all the things.

Yeah.

And then the defense was like, well, interesting you say that, Laura, because we actually went to the Planned Parenthood in Mission Viejo to try to collect the records.

And they said, no one under your name exists.

lie that ROI gives us.

So I've spent my career helping organizations navigate change, including over the past 15 years as CFO of three progressively larger and more complex nonprofits, and most recently at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the largest sexual reproductive health provider in the United States.

Before working in the nonprofit sector as a CFO, I worked in consulting and corporate finance with organizations such as PwC, General Mills, and Thomson Reuters.

And across all of these experiences, one question kept following me, like, why not? do investments that look so compelling, so interesting on paper, become really difficult to translate into really lasting improvements.

And I had no idea what to ask or what was appropriate or available.

So I was referred to Planned Parenthood.

It was local.

So I was able to stay close to home during my recovery, by which I mean, close to home for the procedure and then I was home for my recovery um and I still had to go to a Planned Parenthood clinic there were protesters outside um because of COVID my husband had to stay in the car for two days worth of appointments and uh even if he had been inside he would have had to stay in a waiting room because uh Clinics that provide abortions want to be absolutely certain that their patients are the ones who want an abortion and that they're not being pressured or coerced.

But that meant for two days, my husband sat in a car and I was inside alone saying goodbye to our son.

And the... entire process just felt so overwhelming.

different living it, right? Yeah.

Yes, absolutely.

Well, as a result of that election and just the 30,000 votes and the new appointments to the Florida Supreme Court, we filed two briefs at the Florida Supreme Court And it mirrored what happened in the national decision as well in the Dobbs case.

It was a 15-week abortion ban that Planned Parenthood challenged.

Not only did the Florida Supreme Court now uphold that ban, but they also said that the 1989 case just like the U.S. Supreme Court decision did in the Dobbs case, was not consistent with the Constitution.

They overruled it.

I agree, yes.

I do think, however, there are some good movements that are taking place.

We actually have a website, abortioninourwater.org, abortioninourwater.org, because what's happened since the Roe versus Wade and Planned Parenthood versus Casey being overturned in 2022 by the Dobbs decision is that chemical abortions have increased while surgical abortions have decreased.

Brick and mortar are shutting down, but chemical abortions are increasing, even in states like, say, that are pro-life.

I mean, it starts out by seeming so benign.

But when you look at the big picture and you look at who's funding it, I mean, Planned Parenthood's right there in the top three funding it.

So...

You always find their name at the bottom of

I tell people all the time that are voters, look at who's backing something financially.

When I made my voter guide, I put who the top three sponsors were and the top three people who objected it were.

Because if SEIU, if CTA, if Planned Parenthood, if any of those organizations are backing something, you know it's evil.

Wow, that's crazy.

And we went to an event that was really focused on another very important issue, which is abortion rights with with somebody with a woman who was really great, whose name is escaping me, who was like.

one of the leaders of Planned Parenthood in the state.

But people were talking about that.

But the cost of home heating, given Maine is a state, and this is like a state in the obvious here, but for people who are not paying attention to this aspect of this race, it is cold there.

In just the last month, according to the Missouri Ethics Commission, Stop the Ban has raised almost $9 million in major donations.

Just on Saturday, Planned Parenthood kicked in $750,000.

The Independent reports that the main committee backing Amendment 3, Her Health, Her Future, has raised $6 million and paid for $1 million in TV ads.

A second committee organized by Senator Josh Hawley and former Attorney General Andrew Bailey reports $9 million in contributions, only a third of that in cash.

So

I had Katie Petternell on here and she was one of the biggest targets of, uh, Planned Parenthood and she thinks that we don't support women enough that was one of the things that she said and because it's always after the baby's born then what and she could be right there I think that We need to have more people having kids.

That's for one.

If we have all these schools and we can't fill them anymore, it's because...
