WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Planned Parenthood

Here's a good presentation on why every person should support Planned Parenthood.  We need to be able to defend this long-time provider of women's health services.  Yep, including terminating pregnancies (aka "abortion").   We all  know (well all Lefties, I'd guess) that Federal funds are prohibited by law from being used for abortion procedures.  That includes those performed (legally, I hasten to add; it's legal!) under the auspices of Planned Parenthood.

Yes, the video of the lunch conversation was "distrubing" to me, as it was to Hillary Clinton.   The tone of those captured in the video was casual, cavalier...hard.  And hard to hear.  But a crass and misleading video does not mean Planned Parenthood is or has ever "sold baby body parts."  Nor have they profited from any transactions involving fetal tissue.  A nonprofit organization must meet expenses just like a for-profit business.  And from all I've read and heard, fetal tissue is needed for research studies, efforts to eradicate diseases in this country and around the world.  Fetal tissue is is provided to such researchers with the permission of women whose pregnancies have been terminated.  It's an option they are offered.  A choice.  Cecile Richards—where the buck stops at Planned Parenthood—has assured us that fees collected for fetal tissue are for covering expenses.  Surely Republican  business whizzes would understand meeting expenses.  That is, if playing dumb weren't paying off politically.   Have a look at this.
