Hundreds of women called their local Planned Parenthood clinics Monday to schedule a mammogram, but none were able to successfully secure an appointment. That’s because the nation’s largest abortion provider doesn’t actually offer them.
The phone calls were part of “Schedule Your Mammogram Day,” an event organized by And Then There Were None, a pro-life organization, to raise awareness of Planned Parenthood’s deceptive claims on women’s health.
The misconception that the nation’s largest abortion provider has been offering mammograms is a common claim, repeated by the media. During the Miss America competition last week, Miss Tennessee, Hannah Robinson, parroted one of Planned Parenthood’s favorite talking points when answering a question about whether the $1 billion abortion corporation should lose some of its taxpayer subsidy. Robinson said:
The $500 million that gets given to Planned Parenthood every single year goes to female … care. It goes to screening for cancer. It goes for mammograms. And if we don’t give that funding to Planned Parenthood, those women will be out of health care for reproductive causes.
But in reality, there are 8,735 licensed mammography facilities in the United States, and Planned Parenthood operates none of them. The closest that the nation’s largest abortion provider gets to offering mammogram services is referring women to one of those other facilities.
While Planned Parenthood doesn’t offer any mammograms, it performs more than 300,000 abortions each year and harvests the organs of aborted babies for sale. This practice is driving the debate surrounding whether to continue sending federal funds to Planned Parenthood to the tune of some $500 million each year.
Since pregnancy is not a disease, this disagreementisn’t really about women’s health, after all. It’s really about whether the government will continue to funnel tax dollars to the nation’s largest abortion provider, whose officials have been caught on tape admitting that they are able and willing to alter abortion procedures to get more organs out of the babies without properly gaining consent from women.
Shut down the government. We don’t care. STOP THE SELLING OF BABY ORGANS NOW!!- by all means necessary!!
Q. You know how Planned Parenthood performs a mammogram?
A. They do a complete double mastectomy, send the amputated breasts to the lab, and notify you in 5 days of the results.
Planned Parenthood doesn’t do Mammograms - they do manual exams... This story’s bogus.
Doesn’t 0bamacare now provide for basic “women’s health care,” such as PP claims to provide? I’m bewildered about the throngs of women supposedly lacking coverage.
They probably sell the breasts.
No reason to shut down the government.
The bills offered
FULLY FUND THE GOVERNMENT.
If the rats and Obama think funding abortion is more important, the shutdown is on them.
Business opportunity?
PP only does imaging on the UNBORN.
After all, "Abortions" are listed #1.
