I woke up and turned on the TV and heard Hilary talking......"they (GOP) are trying to defund Planned Parenthood and keep women from getting mammograms and fighting breast cancer".
Really?????
How many Planned Parenthood buildings have mammography units and imaging on the premises??? Maybe she should check that out. You can refer yourself by checking the yellow pages.
So, from your first sentence....I was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilary makes people think that the republicans want to stop women's mammograms when in fact they just want to defund the middle man. I can get directed to a place to get a mammogram all by myself.From Factcheck.org.

Women can’t walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics don’t have mammography equipment. Planned Parenthood performs gynecological exams, including breast exams, and refers women to other facilities to have mammograms performed, much like women are referred to radiological centers by their gynecologists or primary care physicians.
According to Planned Parenthood, its medical staff performed 747,607 “breast exams/breast care” in 2010, the most recent statistics available. As for cervical cancer screenings, as the president mentioned, it performed 769,769 Pap tests.
In addition to mammogram referrals, the group says it helps low-income patients find grants and assistance to pay for mammograms, such as through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, which is for women at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania also has a Breast Health Care Fund, which helps patients obtain mammograms. Individual clinics also may occasionally sponsor no-cost mammogram events — for instance, on Oct. 19, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, N.Y., plans to sponsor free mammograms at a mammography van at the health center. In south-central New York, a state program parks its mobile van outside two Planned Parenthood clinics.
In a statement sent to FactCheck.org, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for Planned Parenthood, said that “Planned Parenthood does help women nationwide get access to mammograms,” as part of the health care services it provides to nearly 3 million persons each year. “Women rely on Planned Parenthood for referrals for and financial help with mammograms and specialized diagnostic follow-up tests (like ultrasounds and biopsies) when indicated by age, history and/or clinical breast exam.”

Everybody gets a phone book.........they bring them right to your stoop. Money has nothing to do with it.....except taking my taxes paid and funding places like planned parenthood and other places who make enough money that they don't need to be subsidized by taxpayers.....like PBS.You are a wealthy, white, senior citizen living in an affluent area.
