A LOT of conservative outlets are reporting this story today. 97 PP offices were called. 92 of them said they offer NO pre-natal care. They basically only do abortions. Of course the Dems hailed PP's "pre-natal care" as the main reason for public funding of PP.

Question: Is this legit? Is this true?

quote:

When Planned Parenthood executives and defenders (read: financial beneficiaries) decry Congressional efforts to redirect its taxpayer funding to other women health centers, they often insist that the organization provides vital services that have nothing to do with their thriving abortion business or fetal organ harvesting and profiteering. They vastly overstate women's reliance on Planned Parenthood, and wrongly claim that its clinics do things like offer mammograms (false) and other cancer screening services (declining, and widely available elsewhere). Another justification offered by none other than Planned Parenthood chief Cecile Richards, is that her group doesn't just end pregnancies -- a task at which they're quite efficient, and that rakes in a large portion of their annual revenues -- but also gives important prenatal care to expectant mothers who don't walk through the door to end the lives of their unborn children. Watch the short montage of assertions near the beginning of this video from Live Action, then contrast her misleading rhetoric with the on-the-ground reality at her clinics:

It's in the OP. He called 97 actual PP clinics. 92 said they offer NO pre-natal care. Just abortions.

This is part of the mythology PP has built up. They say "we do mammograms." They don't. They say they do prenatal care. They don't.

They raise money, get government funds and kill fetuses.

I listened to the audio, the 92 offered only "termination services" and related counseling and ultrasounds. So exactly how is Planned Parenthood NOT using taxpayer money for abortions?

So....what do they do other than abortions at those locations? They get funding under the guise of performing prenatal care.

Also, if women's health care is so critical, why are Democrats not open to other health care providers getting funding for those services? They are defending funding for planned parenthood specifically....not funding for services.

He should have said like 52 out of 97. It would have made it more believable.

Vicious circle that needs to be cut.

I guess that's why Democrats defend planned parenthood funding so vigorously. Other health care service providers can easily do what they claim to do (but don't).

Yeah it's not like they have already been caught lying about mammograms and grossly misleading the public on their abortion #s.

Meh..... maybe I'm morally bankrupt but this is something I don't get too worked up about. Yeah the lying and misleading is wrong and it's unfortunate they even have to go that route. I also don't think this is something the gov should be spending money on but I could also list 100 other things they shouldn't be spending money on.

Spend the money on the front end or back end.

Everyone has nationwide calling these days. Call the clinics yourself if you want to debunk the claim. Better yet, get a woman to call (if you're a man, PP might smell a rat and lie).
