Boom! "How does one justify eliminating healthcare access in counties with such existing healthcare shortages? Your own constituents simply cannot afford it."
Next witness is @daniellefirsich.bsky.social from @ppaohio.bsky.social to testify against the bill and in support of Planned Parenthood's thousands of patients who rely on Medicaid funding for life-saving, essential healthcare.
