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.

This is (I think the word is) cathartic for me.

I used to have a mini crush on a ex-marine coworker, until he uttered the words "planned parenthood is obsolete" to me. I nearly took his head off and threw it in the extruder.

Planned Parenthood is such an excellent and important health clinc, for she, he, they, and everyone or anyone. If offers all kinds of services.

edit: I love how they used "horny oyster farmer" in thier article, omg amazing

I got care there for my first pregnancy. It was high risk and I didn't have Medicaid yet. I think without their help I could have lost my baby. It's barbaric to try and get rid of them.
