You're listening to Comedy Central. Let me tell you how important, how important planned parenthood is to me. It's just one of the most important things in my life. Uh, you know, I have my parents in seventeen eight times have my mom and planned parenthood taught me everything. And that's real talk. And I'm pretty sure that you guys have done that for a lot of girls. So if you listen to the people on the right, they think that planned parenthood
is an abortion factory. Like you know, that's like back to back abortions and with a side of fries. You know what I'm saying. What I want to get clear here today is what are the actual services of planned parenthood? Well, thank you Leslie for asking me that question, and thank you for sharing the how important plan parenthood has been for you, because that has been the story for so many people in their lives. Plan Parenthood really represents reproductive freedom.
We sell freedom and agency. It means that when you walk into a plan parent at the Whole Center, you may be coming for birth control, as TI testing, cervical cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, gender affirming care, and yes, we proudly provide abortion because that is also part of healthcare. That is the work that we care. That's what we do. That's what I'm props us. Yes, and I don't think. I don't think people realize that men can go to
Planned Parenthood for services too, and they should. I think when men hear parenthood, they just started running. Tell me the services that you provide for people with penises. Yes, men are like one of the facets growing demographics that Planned Parenthood. They come for the same set of services. They come to get access to condoms, they come to get access to SDI screenings, they come from vasectomies increasingly after the job's decision, Right, they are coming in. Okay,
I don't know. I mean, I mean, maybe we need to market it, you know what I'm saying. Maybe we need to have a better market Like we treat the meat, you know. You know what I'm saying, playing parafood, playing parents, presents the dick fixers, know what I'm saying, We do that too. But but like, do you think men are embarrassed about what they need to come in for, because let me tell you something, man, it's important that men get checked out. That sexual health affects their wives, partners,
and girlfriends too. Rod Versus Wade was overturning sex months seven months ago, and it's important for men to come in also tell them please how important is yeah? It is so critical. I mean, first of all, stigma around sexual reproductive health care effects everybody. So it does affect man. They may not talk about it, but they're certainly coming to play parenthood to get it checked out, right. I mean, you know, they see something, they need to say something,
they need to come in and make sure. But they are being affective, but they are really being affected by the stops decision, right because you know, I mean on the other side of every single abortion, every choice that someone makes to to not continue a pregnancy, we are
also seeing the impact on miscarriage management. We're also seeing the impact on their wives, on their daughters and their sisters, on their workers, on their coworkers, and so men, I would say, actually are showing up in a much stronger way. There's a lot of them out there freestyling because they still don't know how our bodies work, how our periods work,
how our pregnancies work. But there are a lot of men who are showing up, and I think it is really important to give them the energy to to continue to do that. Yes, yes, how how do we how do we how do we combat that, like this thing about our rights and everything? How we keep how we keep things well? I mean, first of all, I mean we have to be here that the Supreme Court made a decision. But the Supreme Court doesn't get the last word.
We do, yes, and we are going to need to fight state by state because they are coming for birth control, they are coming for IVF, they are coming. They're trying to they're literally trying to bankrupt bankrupt us in Texas, right, plant parenthood in Texas. They are trying everything they can
to stop people from getting access to care. But what we have in you know, people like you who are just you know, passionate about freedom, passionate about justice um is an opportunity to really be a leader and a volunteer. Oh now, you know you shouldn't give me no dam bullhorn. I'm gonna be out there on the streets going hey women, Hey women, are you leaking comfort to plant parenthood so we can do some beacon.
