WASHINGTON — Democratic Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner commended Planned Parenthood for helping him get tested for sexually transmitted diseases as he grapples with scandals over his alleged adultery and debauchery.

While receiving an endorsement from Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s president, the horny oyster farmer heaped praise on the controversial abortion provider and recounted needing its services during his youth.

“I myself at a younger age … I got STI checks at the Portland Planned Parenthood. And it’s not an embarrassing thing. It’s a smart thing to do, especially when you’re younger,” Platner stressed during an event in Portland, Maine.
