Capitol Hill Brief — History of Community Health Centers
The founding of Planned Parenthood vs. Community Health Centers couldn’t be more different.

Capitol Hill Brief — Religion and Abortion
I have some hard news. Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identified as evangelical or Catholic.

In fact Planned Parenthood only does about 1% of the nation’s pap […]
