Suggested Message: I don’t want my hard earned tax dollars used to fund Planned Parenthood. Please vote No on A4171/S2824 and A4172/S2825. Contrary to false claims by Planned Parenthood, women are receiving legitimate health care at the 100+ Federally Qualified Health Centers in NJ. I will be monitoring how you vote on this matter and your vote will influence my vote this November. Thank you.
