Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Let me tell you how important,
Speaker 1: how important planned parenthood is to me. It's just one
Speaker 1: of the most important things in my life. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I have my parents in seventeen eight times have my
Speaker 1: mom and planned parenthood taught me everything. And that's real talk.
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure that you guys have done that
Speaker 1: for a lot of girls. So if you listen to
Speaker 1: the people on the right, they think that planned parenthood
Speaker 1: is an abortion factory. Like you know, that's like back
Speaker 1: to back abortions and with a side of fries. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. What I want to get clear
Speaker 1: here today is what are the actual services of planned parenthood? Well,
Speaker 1: thank you Leslie for asking me that question, and thank
Speaker 1: you for sharing the how important plan parenthood has been
Speaker 1: for you, because that has been the story for so
Speaker 1: many people in their lives. Plan Parenthood really represents reproductive freedom.
Speaker 1: We sell freedom and agency. It means that when you
Speaker 1: walk into a plan parent at the Whole Center, you
Speaker 1: may be coming for birth control, as TI testing, cervical
Speaker 1: cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, gender affirming care, and yes,
Speaker 1: we proudly provide abortion because that is also part of healthcare.
Speaker 1: That is the work that we care. That's what we do.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm props us. Yes, and I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize that men can go to
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood for services too, and they should. I think
Speaker 1: when men hear parenthood, they just started running. Tell me
Speaker 1: the services that you provide for people with penises. Yes,
Speaker 1: men are like one of the facets growing demographics that
Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood. They come for the same set of services.
Speaker 1: They come to get access to condoms, they come to
Speaker 1: get access to SDI screenings, they come from vasectomies increasingly
Speaker 1: after the job's decision, Right, they are coming in. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I mean, maybe we need
Speaker 1: to market it, you know what I'm saying. Maybe we
Speaker 1: need to have a better market Like we treat the meat,
Speaker 1: you know. You know what I'm saying, playing parafood, playing parents,
Speaker 1: presents the dick fixers, know what I'm saying, We do
Speaker 1: that too. But but like, do you think men are
Speaker 1: embarrassed about what they need to come in for, because
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, man, it's important that men
Speaker 1: get checked out. That sexual health affects their wives, partners,
Speaker 1: and girlfriends too. Rod Versus Wade was overturning sex months
Speaker 1: seven months ago, and it's important for men to come
Speaker 1: in also tell them please how important is yeah? It
Speaker 1: is so critical. I mean, first of all, stigma around
Speaker 1: sexual reproductive health care effects everybody. So it does affect man.
Speaker 1: They may not talk about it, but they're certainly coming
Speaker 1: to play parenthood to get it checked out, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, they see something, they need to say something,
Speaker 1: they need to come in and make sure. But they
Speaker 1: are being affective, but they are really being affected by
Speaker 1: the stops decision, right because you know, I mean on
Speaker 1: the other side of every single abortion, every choice that
Speaker 1: someone makes to to not continue a pregnancy, we are
Speaker 1: also seeing the impact on miscarriage management. We're also seeing
Speaker 1: the impact on their wives, on their daughters and their sisters,
Speaker 1: on their workers, on their coworkers, and so men, I
Speaker 1: would say, actually are showing up in a much stronger way.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them out there freestyling because they
Speaker 1: still don't know how our bodies work, how our periods work,
Speaker 1: how our pregnancies work. But there are a lot of
Speaker 1: men who are showing up, and I think it is
Speaker 1: really important to give them the energy to to continue
Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, yes, how how do we how
Speaker 1: do we how do we combat that, like this thing
Speaker 1: about our rights and everything? How we keep how we
Speaker 1: keep things well? I mean, first of all, I mean
Speaker 1: we have to be here that the Supreme Court made
Speaker 1: a decision. But the Supreme Court doesn't get the last word.
Speaker 1: We do, yes, and we are going to need to
Speaker 1: fight state by state because they are coming for birth control,
Speaker 1: they are coming for IVF, they are coming. They're trying
Speaker 1: to they're literally trying to bankrupt bankrupt us in Texas, right,
Speaker 1: plant parenthood in Texas. They are trying everything they can
Speaker 1: to stop people from getting access to care. But what
Speaker 1: we have in you know, people like you who are
Speaker 1: just you know, passionate about freedom, passionate about justice um
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to really be a leader and a volunteer.
Speaker 1: Oh now, you know you shouldn't give me no dam bullhorn.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out there on the streets going hey women,
Speaker 1: Hey women, are you leaking comfort to plant parenthood so
