Planned Parenthood
in its infinite wisdom
has conceived of
so to speak
another way to ruin America
in its launching
of the non-partisan campaign
"My Vote, My Voice"
to make voters
out of the people most affected
by voter suppression laws
and who are regularly
most in need of the services
that the organization provides
including youth
the poor
and people of color.
Volunteers in 45 states
will set up "action" tables
outside of Planned Parenthood health centers
and throughout these communities
where they will register voters
educate them
about their state's voter ID laws
and of course
remind them to vote
in November.
Unfortunately very few of these people
are likely to vote
for the Republican candidate
who wants to defund the organization.
(So unfair.)
