Lawmakers and politicians are not physicians and they are not medical providers, the president of Planned Parenthood said yesterday afternoon. Speaking to an audience of over 200 in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy, Cecile Richards called for landmark changes in the nation's reproductive health care policy and sex education strategies. Richards believes social media and communication technology is the answer to both social and political barriers to reproductive health because there is a revolution in how people access information about health care. Planned Parenthood uses Facebook, Twitter and text messaging to deliver sex education to young people without having to get it through the Legislature. She noted that the number of people who visit Planned Parenthood online is equivalent to about 160,000 classrooms. |

Construction equipment churns away behind a chain link fence, but there's no sign to show what's being built on John Ryan Road in Southwest Fort Worth. The Gladney Adoption Center right next door, which sold the land to a third party, didn't learn who bought it until Thursday. One subcontractor didn't find out until just a few hours before he was to pour concrete footings this week. When he discovered it was a new Planned Parenthood health center where abortions will be performed, he told the general contractor his religious convictions wouldn't allow it. He walked off the job. He told News 8 other construction workers are also raising religious objections. |
