Planned Parenthood - a primary healthcare provider?

Planned Parenthood is facing criticism for alleged false advertising.

The organization has been running ads in Washington, DC, claiming that 90 percent of its services are preventive and primary care, just like going to a doctor's office. Jim Sedlak of American Life League disagrees. With Obama's healthcare program, Sedlak contends Planned Parenthood is just trying to position itself to be in the mainstream of healthcare.
 
"The problem is that according to its last annual report, Planned Parenthood...primary care patients account for only seven-tenths of one percent of its total number of customers," he says.
 
Sedlak was asked if Planned Parenthood's recent report was designed to get more government money.
 
"Absolutely! They're trying to set the stage so that they get recognized as an entry point into the healthcare system, and that people don't have to go to another primary care physician, and they can get referenced to Planned Parenthood, that they can just walk in the door at Planned Parenthood and that will result in millions of more dollars to Planned Parenthood," he points out.
 
According to Sedlak, abortion accounts for about one-third of Planned Parenthood's income -- and government-funded abortion is likely to be a part of the Obama healthcare plan.

If Zero has his way Planned Barrenhood will be running the nation's healthcare system.

Planned Parenthood is on record as declaring it will play a "unique roll in this administration." When was the last time any corporation dared to make such an assertion?

Look, your president was purchased by planned parenthood, as was your secreteary of state, and several cabinet appointees.

I wonder, I just wonder, when people will get it.

What part of killing babies and preventing babies is “healthcare”?

[Salvation]

Not a primary healthcare provide, but a primary killing house provider.

And they just DON’T see that they are targeted! I’d really like to see statistics for other groups.
