Praise the Lord!!!
This is a great beginning. Praise the Lord.
Odd. They pointed out this sort of clinic as the most while defending their funding, but kept open the abortion mills when push came to shove. You would think they were not being sincere. /sarcasm (for those who need it)
No, I knew this would happen. Planned Parenthood in general is getting cuts with no strings, so they can close whatever they want. So they’re closing clinics that actually provide health services like cervical cancer screening, and leaving the profitable abortion mills open.
Now in the next election their supporters will get to say that the Republicans cut health services for poor women. I guarantee you will hear that.
None of the clinics that are to be closed did abortions.
Note that PP closed the health clinics but kept the abortion clinics open. The government didn’t close anything. Planned Parenthood won’t help poor women but they will kill their babies.
They pulled these numbers out of thin air. They don't even make sense. If there is a 17% increase in 'unintended' pregnancies, then there would also be a 17% increase in abortions and teen pregnancies. There is no way any of these new 'unintended' pregnancies will result in both an abortion and a teen birth.
By the way, the Guttmacher Institute happens to be a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood. Go figure.
Yeah!!!!!
Every story about Planned Parenthood always stresses how they do all these beneficial services besides abortions.
yep, no spin at all. (sarcasm)
And this one indicates that the clinics being closed don’t even do abortions. And it’s all the fault of evil Republican conservative types who want to turn back the clock, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Gee, one would have thought that all those caring progressives would have stepped in to fund these “vital” services to needy women. But then one wold have been wrong.
Yep, instead of closing down the abortion mills, they chose to close down those clinics that don’t perform abortions. Shows where their priorities are.
Recall their selling of holiday greeting cards emblazoned, "Choice on Earth":
And if there were any doubt about whether they're PRO-abortion, as opposed to stopping at merely pro-abortion-RIGHTS, remember this:
“They did not perform abortions, but provided services ranging from contraception to cervical cancer screenings to testing for sexually-transmitted diseases.”
So? Isn’t Obamacare supposed to take care of all that, lefties?
“without any Title X funding for low-income women and families, Minnesota would see a 17 percent increase in unintended pregnancies, a 24 percent increase in abortions and a 33 percent increase in teen births.”
How does a building prevent unintended pregnancies? I assume by passing out condoms and birth control. This is done in public clinics anyway, without the duplication.
And I would think that decreasing the number of abortion clinics would decrease the number of abortions, not increase it.
The increase in teen births is probably correct, since there will be less places to abort them.
Their arguments are so fallacious.
It’s an old political trick.
When talke of cuts start, opponents start talking about how police, fire, and schools will have to be eliminated if we cut even a dime out of the budget.
So, of course Planned Parenthood is going to cut every non-abortion service first.
Of course not, it's the Star and Sickle. /s

Dirty weasels. They’re still spending our money to murder babies. And they CHOSE to close the medical assistance facilities, not the torturing-babies-to-death abortion mills.
If they try to campaign on “Republicans cut medical services to the poor,” the fact that they chose what to close should be shouted from the rooftops.
