If you want to increase abortions, cut funds to Planned Parenthood

A great editorial from the Herald-Leader:

Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul and other presidential hopefuls, are accusing Planned Parenthood of trafficking in fetal organs, an unsubstantiated claim aimed at churning up the anti-abortion base going into next year's primaries, after which the nominee will assure the general electorate that women's health is a high priority for Republicans.

(Mitch) McConnell last week teed up a pro-woman defense by insisting the Republicans want to protect "health services for women" while cutting funds to a "political group." McConnell calling Planned Parenthood "political" is a hoot. No one has done more to politicize women's health than Republicans in Congress, who have even tried to deny women access to contraceptives.

...Those who care about women's health should work to expand access not shut down two important gateways to care. One sure way to increase abortions is to eliminate the prevention and education Planned Parenthood has provided Kentuckians for more than 80 years.
