“You don’t have to go to Planned Parenthood to get your cholesterol or your blood pressure checked. If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does,” Kyl declared.The latter part of his statement should have read 'If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 98 percent of what Planned Parenthood does for PREGNANT women.' I have no doubt that was his intended statement.
Gail goes on to say:
Planned Parenthood says that abortions, which are not paid for with federal money, constitute 3 percent of the services that the organization provides. That’s quite a gap. But only if you’re planning on going factual.If you want to be factual Gail, then state the facts. In 2008 (and probably 2009, 2010), Planned Parenthood served approximately 3 million women. In the same year Planned Parenthood providers performed approximately 300,000 abortions. Using simple mathematics, it's clear that at least 10% of women that go to PP, are there for abortions.
Also, Gail states no abortions are paid with federal funds. Maybe not directly, but a lot of the prep work, exams, pregnancy tests, etc., are paid for with federal funds. There is no denying that federal funding, pays for at least part of the services leading up to the abortion procedure, and perhaps after-care also.
Pro abortion advocates need to stop lying and sugar-coating the truth. Americans are not that stupid.
President Infanticide thought we didn't need Public Health Care Centers, either. You know, those places where you actually *can* get your cholesterol checked or take your sick baby for care. He just cut $600 million in funding to them. Maybe the next time my baby's sick I'll take him to PP for some of that infamous (and nonexistent) 'basic health care' proaborts are always shrieking about. Unless he needs BC, he's outta luck.
ReplyDeleteArmored Saint, I didn't know that. Do you have a link for that funding cut?
