a_natural_beautyI don't post much when it comes to politics, but this one hits home to me on a personal level so I wanted to write about this in a quick little entry that means a-lot to me and happened this past week: The first a president or vice president has ever done, Kamala Harris has visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in Saint Paul, Minnesota on the 14th.
This is a very important issue in our country considering that some states have been stripping away these rights. Every woman should have the right to free and/or affordable healthcare and should be able to make their own decision about what to do with their bodies. When I donated to Biden's cause the other week this was the first issue I wrote that is important I think they should put a bit more focus on. And then it happened like a week later! Planned Parenthood handles so many things from free Brest exams to STD testing & treatment to mental health care to educating patients on safe sex practices. And so much more!! Sadly the county I live in closed their Planed parenthood years ago. I used to go to it for the different services they offered. It scares me that some states are taking away the access for women to make this very difficult decision. As if making this choice for a woman wasn't hard enough, but now they are making some states even harder to live in. When Kamala went and spoke I felt emotional, motivated, worried and most of all HEARD. So many emotions. I hope others can see the importance in this huge step she took.
