Planned Parenthood closing 4 Iowa clinics

Ugh

---Quote from article---
Planned Parenthood says it's closing four of its 12 clinics in Iowa after the Republican-led Legislature cut its state funding.

Local affiliate Planned Parenthood of the Heartland said Thursday the closings will reduce its facilities in the state that provide abortions from eight to five. More than 30 employees will be laid off.

The health centers slated for closing are in Sioux City, Bettendorf, Burlington and Keokuk. Planned Parenthood says more than 14,600 people visited the four closing clinics in the past three years.

Fuck you, Republicans.

You're either ignorant or you're a bigot or both. Either way, I don't have the time of day for these people.
