Received this e-mail today from Lt. Governor nominee, former Rep. Betty Sutton (D. OH), on behalf of the Richard Cordray (D. OH)/Betty Sutton (D. OH) gubernatorial ticket:
I could not have been more horrified when the Republicans in the state legislature, under the direction of John Kasich, tried to defund PlannedParenthood here in Ohio.
State funding for Planned Parenthood covers cancer screenings, basic exams, STD testing—the health care that keeps our families and communities healthy. More than that, Planned Parenthood and women’s health care centers make sure that women are the ones making decisions about our own bodies and about motherhood.
I think we can all agree that’s worth protecting.
I know Rich does—it’s one of the reasons that I joined this ticket. We’ll fight to protect Planned Parenthood and access to the full range of reproductive care as part of our administration, but today, I’m asking you to help us send a message to the GOP.
Add your name to say we will stand with Planned Parenthood.
Now is the time to make our voices heard, for ourselves and for the women in our lives, and support organizations like Planned Parenthood that keep us safe and healthy.
Rich and I are committed to protecting Planned Parenthood and the health care that thousands of women and families in our state rely on—say you’re with us.
Thank you,
Betty
