In 2005, Planned Parenthood was contracted to do approx 60% of the federally funded HIV counseling and testing in Texas, targeting gay men. The reason, the LGBTQ community in Texas trusts Planned Parenthood more than any state or local county government office. Now, these tests are being contracted elsewhere due to the ban on funding Planned Parenthood. The state doesn't understand why nobody wants to test at local health departments. This ban affects so much more than women's health, and that is one of the primary reasons it's being targeted.

The GOP so often makes out planned parenthood to strictly abortion clinics. They’re seemingly ignoring the NUMEROUS health benefits that are provided. Fucking numbnuts
