Yesterday evening, Phelps Grove Park was host to the 2011 Planned Parenthood Truth Tour. Things kicked off with grassroots organizer, Crystal Brigman. Other speakers included Sara Lampe and Rev. John Andrews. Rep. Sara Lampe, an avid supporter of Planned Parenthood, stated, "Last year, Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri cared for 51,000 women, men and teens. Planned Parenthood provided 55,000 STI tests, 9,900 HIV tests, expanded HPV vaccine services for men, and educated 9,400 teens, parents and community members regarding issues of sexual health."

If you missed Springfield's event, you can catch up with the big pink bus in St. Louis today at 4521 Forest Park Ave.
