Rancor against the Planned Parenthood Federation of America has exploded this year, the fuse lit by videos that surfaced this summer showing a national Planned Parenthood executive discussing the selling of fetal body parts.
The agency is fighting back with rallies, social media campaigns and celebrations of its services across the country Tuesday, including a rally by the chapter that oversees services in Georgia at the state Capitol in downtown Atlanta.
The nonprofit organization provides mammograms, Pap smears, testing for sexually transmitted diseases — and, yes, at some facilities it performs abortions.
Political voices for and against Planned Parenthood have been loud and proud.
