Planned Parenthood should not get tax dollars
The Gazette Opinion Staff

Thank you to Sue Thayer, former Planned Parenthood manager from Storm Lake, who spoke publicly about her 17 years working inside Planned Parenthood, witnessing first hand how the organization was aggressively striving to increase abortion numbers. She said she voiced her concern about this and Planned Parenthood fired her. She spent this fall outside the same Planned Parenthood center, leading the 40 Days for Life campaign, praying for an end to abortion and for those with whom she worked inside the center.
Thayer knows that Planned Parenthood is not about preventing abortions, but quite the opposite, and taxpayers have been effectively subsidizing their murderous activity. We must protest to our elected representatives that we do not wish for our tax dollars to be allocated to Planned Parenthood.
