In reality, Planned Parenthood itself has decreased cancer screenings and other preventive care since 2004, all the while increasing the number of abortions its affiliates perform by about 70,000 every year.
Indeed, Planned Parenthood performs about 1 out of every three abortions in the United States, performing 327,653 abortions during its last reporting year alone.
And despite some supporters’ statements to the contrary, Planned Parenthood does not and cannot provide mammograms. (Instead, to solidify its place as the top abortion provider, Planned Parenthood recently announced that all local affiliates would have to begin providing abortion services starting in 2013).
Moreover, health care services are already being provided for those who need them without unethical practices or entanglement in abortion. There are roughly 9,000 health clinics across the country that served 21 million people in 2012 alone.
According to new research by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, those clinics serve nearly eight times the number of individuals served by Planned Parenthood every year. These clinics are located in medically underserved rural and urban areas and can provide birth control options, cancer screenings and women’s health exams, not to mention a wide range of primary health services for low-income women, children and men.

Sadly, you miss the point of all this. First, what has been seen in the first five PP abortion for profit video's, is in violation of several law, not the least of which is the law that forbids "positioning" the unborn for the sole purpose of an immediate harvest. That is illegal. Public opinion be damned.
DeleteSecondly, abortion for the purpose of harvesting and making money, is not popularly with most Americans.
Third, this is not about abortion, per se, but the abortion industry's Nazi-like callousness and the revelation as to just how out-of-control is this industry. Pelosi says that "it is not a baby" until it leaves the hospital . . . . . meaning, of cours, killing a full-term infant, an actual birthed baby, is fine with Pelosi and the maggots that follow her thinking.
If PP wants to continue this process, it should do so on its own, not with federal funds. PP argues that it needs to cover its costs. Bullshit. It gets half a billion dollars to year from the feds and state assitance . . . . which is never reported but could amount to more money than PP gets from us taxpayers. How much money does this bunch need?

DeleteWomen of America, take NOTE!!
He is right, you know.
DeleteWomen's healthcare is provided for with ObamaCare and 9,000 healthcare clinics non-related to PP. democrat women cannot take care of themselves? They the manpower of the party? Kind of silly, don't you think?
