Threat to Shut Down Government An Outrage Says Local Planned Parenthood President
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Press Statement by Patricia McGeown, UHPP President/CEO
It's an outrage to shutdown the government over an extreme proposal that denies millions of women pap tests, breast exams and birth control.
Attacking planned parenthood's preventive care hurts women, doesn't cut the deficit or fix the economy, and must be stopped.
Patricia McGeown
President/CEO, Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood
