DNC offers free vasectomies, abortions

Planned Parenthood is bringing reproductive rights to the forefront of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago by offering free vasectomies, medication abortions, and emergency contraception through their mobile health bus. Planned Parenthood Great Rivers of St. Louis announced that its bus will be in Chicago on Monday and Tuesday, providing these services as a direct challenge to the shifting landscape of reproductive rights since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
