It isn't the right of religious zealots to decide to what to cut funding from because of their religious ideologies. This isn't just an issue for women, but men also. I have used the planned parenthood services, as well as my girlfriend who has engaged in their services. If we continue to allow religious zealots to dictate our lives because of their "holy books". It's time to take a stand against these people so we can continue to live life according to our own rules. By denying funding to men and women alike Gary is essentially dictating what he feels is best for men and women, denying us the liberty and freedom of going to such places. Where is the separation of church and state? Where is the logical reasoning and caring for others rights and liberties? Not here.
