NAPAWF opposes attacks on Planned Parenthood

December 11, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Just days after the attack on a Planned Parenthood health center in Colorado Springs, which left three dead and nine wounded, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is expected to push through a budget reconciliation that includes a measure “defunding” Planned Parenthood. The proposed measure would block low-income patients from accessing essential, preventive health care at Planned Parenthood health centers and would repeal important features of the Affordable Care Act. The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF) Executive Director Miriam Yeung issued the following statement in opposition to the attacks on Planned Parenthood and women’s health: “Budget attacks on Planned Parenthood and other family planning providers less than a week after a stunning act of domestic terrorism against a Planned Parenthood in Colorado are depraved. Asian American and Pacific Islander women depend on Planned Parenthood and family planning health centers for basic health care and critical reproductive health services that deserve more funding, not less.” (end)
