Abortion services are 4% of what they provide and federal funds don’t even go toward that.

I feel like most people don’t know that not only does Planned Parenthood provide medical services using sliding scale payments (offering no cost for those who can’t afford them), Planned Parenthood also provides medical services for men. The value they provide is immeasurable. Closing them is stupid

Planned Parenthood is the only place for many Americans to access things like Pap smears, and routine health maintenance and cancer prevention. Anyone who thinks they just provide abortions or mostly provide abortions doesn’t know anything
When anti-abortion activists talk about “defunding” Planned Parenthood, they focus on tax dollars going to an org that (separately) provides abortions. They don’t tell people that it would shutter hundreds of clinics making it harder to get abortions and so many other services like birth control
Let’s be clear that abortion can be effectively banned in this country without Congress passing a law but as a result of multiple moves that make it impossible to access.
The intent of today’s Supreme Court ruling—and of Trump’s budget bill—is to shutter as many abortion clinics as possible

We also get into the issue of, "If I call during a crisis, will cops show up to my door for a wellness check?"
Fewer than 2% of calls to 988 end up connecting with 911 and in half of those cases, the caller has given their address for immediate help.

I give out the 988 line on the show every week, have for years. This week, I go in depth on how it works, how it's holding up, the potential loss of the LGBTQ specialized service, and how it all gets paid for.
The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988, launched three years ago and it's time for a checkup. We look at its stability, supply & demand, funding issues, rumors, and potentially devastating cut to one of its key services.

There is a program called Books Unbanned running through the Boston, Seattle, LA, San Diego and Brooklyn Public Libraries. It allows anyone 13-21 to check out ebooks and Audiobooks no matter where they live. The Boston link is easy to use compared to Brooklyn.

Local authorities have pledged to take action after a 200-year-old shrine in a Polish village was “renovated” by an unknown person, who repainted sculptures of Jesus and the Virgin Mary in a manner that has caused both amusement and anger.
