Republican candidate for Virginia Governor Ed Gillespie held a “Women for Ed” event August 2 in Hanover, VA. Supporters of Planned Parenthood demonstrated outside of the venue to bring awareness of his failure to support affordable healthcare for Virginians. One demonstrator went inside though and got him on record stating that he would, indeed, defund PPVirginia.

Planned Parenthood Virginia is already underfunded. The organization has gone from 12 clinics in 2012 to only 5(!) today. Debra Rodman is running for a VA House of Delegate seat in one of the 17 Districts won by Hillary Clinton. Should she win her election against a 17-year incumbent, she and her Democratic colleagues will be united in keeping harmful bills that take away access to healthcare from making it to the Governor’s desk. Thank you for helping us to put a champion for Virginian’s healthcare at the table. secure.actblue.com/…
