Martin O'Malley
Related: About this forum97% of Planned Parenthood's work is mammograms, preventive care, O'Malley says.
The vast majority of Planned Parenthoods work goes toward mammograms and preventive care, said former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley.
Since an anti-abortion group released videos Planned Parenthood officials talking about aborted fetal parts, Republicans have pushed to take away federal funding from the womens health organization. Democratic presidential candidates, on the other hand, are showing their support, if subdued.
OMalley said he hadnt seen the videos, speaking to reporters in New Hampshire July 26.
"And I don't generally make a habit of responding to right-wing videos," O'Malley said, according to Washington Posts Dave Weigel. "I do know that 97 percent of the work that Planned Parenthood does is about mammograms and preventative health. So that's what I know, but I'll defer to others for commenting on that video and whatever videos they're pumping out there."

(edit - should have added: in addition to referrals, PP does also help with patients obtain financial help for mammograms...)

Having just read this about O'Malley, I am pleased as punch how much he gets it!
The GOP truthfuckers are voting today to defund PP TODAY before the truth O'Malley knew and said to thunderous silence - as soon as the videos were disgorged - catches up with the propaganda.
