Seattle Storm WNBA Team Partners with Planned Parenthood
--------------------------------------------------------

And in Seattle, the WNBA's Seattle Storm basketball team has partnered
with Planned Parenthood to raise funds and fight back against a
Republican-led attack on the women's health organization. On Tuesday
night, the Storm donated $5 from each ticket purchased for its game
against the Chicago Sky toward Planned Parenthood, and Storm players
joined a rally ahead of the game. In a statement, Planned Parenthood
said, "Right now, we are seeing a relentless effort to roll back
progress for women. Being in this fight alongside our supporters and the
Storm is an honor."
