Planned Parenthood enters transgender-hormone market as abortions decline, clinics close
Washington Times ^ | Jan 03, 2018 | Valerie Richardson

As dozens of its clinics closed amid a dwindling U.S. abortion rate, Planned Parenthood has moved to diversify its business model by getting into transgender hormone therapy.

The 2016-17 Planned Parenthood annual report showed the nation’s largest abortion provider struggling to keep its doors open as fewer women undergo abortions and patients seek health care services elsewhere.

In response, “We’re expanding access to care — from pioneering research on self-injectable birth control to offering new services for our transgender patients,” Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said in the report’s introductory message.

“Planned Parenthood has focused on expanding services to people who are too often overlooked by the larger medical community — including trans patients,” says the report, released Sunday. “17 states now have Planned Parenthood health centers that provide hormone therapy.”

Providing sex-change therapy may not be enough to reverse Planned Parenthood’s ongoing skid — a 2016 UCLA study found just 0.6 percent of the U.S. adult population identified as transgender — but it offers an opportunity to develop a new client base as women continue to stay away in droves.

And Planned Parenthood will support any kind of sex as long as it is sterile.

That is why they provide contraceptives.

When the contraceptive fails abortion is “provided.”

Their original business plan has failed because it killed off millions of future female customers in the womb.

“A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.”

PP gets at least 1.3 Billion from the government (I don't have the most accurate number) but if they are doing at least half of the one million abortions per year AND they charge the women at least $300 for each of the half million abortions. And, they get state aid. Plus, they are selling baby body parts for profit.

The question is WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING WITH ALL THAT MONEY?
