Lufkin columnist gives props to Planned Parenthood

Big batch of feminist love going out to Lufkin Daily News columnist Cynthia Hall Clements for her fabulous article on the local Planned Parenthood clinic's efforts to provide quality preventive healthcare for low-income women. Those of us who work on women's health issues know that our friends at PP, here in Texas and nationwide, and their colleagues in local family planning clinics are the backbone of healthcare for low-income women and, as new PPFA pres Cecile Richards has said, "do more to prevent abortion in one week than the South Dakota legislature will in a lifetime." But it sure doesn't get said often enough. Thanks, Ms. Clements! Allies are awesome!
