Pulled into work. As I was turning off the radio, a Planned Parenthood political commercial came on. Extolling the virtues of that organization, of all the life saving care they provide, and how two Illinois Senators turned their backs on millions of Illinois' woman. Out one mouth they claim to help woman, to protect them, to stand behind them, to be their when they they have no other options. Out the other end of their mouths, they fight tooth and nail to avoid having to meet even the most basic medical office criteria that other Dr. Office's are required to follow. Drug store clinics likely have more rules to follow than a PP site. Sure sounds like "protection" and "support" to me. Protection of PP own interests, maybe. As I walked into work feeling more than a bit ruffled at hearing that trash on
WGN radio, I read today's reading. And like a flashlight showing in the distance that I've somehow not noticed before, Psalm 69 took on new meaning for me.
Today's Reading of the Day ...Psalm 69:8-10
For your sake I bear insult,
and shame covers my face.
I have become an outcast to my brothers,
a stranger to my mother’s sons,
because zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.
May your day be filled with Peace, and may you find ways to share that Peace with others...

When I didn't have insurance I went to PP for my yearly paps. They found I had cancer and probably saved my life.
I'm sure that they "probably" did. Similarly there are, at least in Illinois many other clinics that perform the same type of exams, also for free. The difference is those clinics are required to be held to a higher standard, by law, and are not subsidized by our tax dollars. Praise be to God your "Cancer" was found. But dont but faith in an org that is caught time and time again in its own public deception. They do not have your best interest at heart.
