Still, the sourcing on the start of the video looks a little thin, so it behooves people to check the Planned Parenthood website. Sure enough, they have a portal for pre-natal care, and a big button to click labeled “Find A Health Center & Book An Appointment.” However, the next page is their standard clinic search page, and it might be tough to spot that the term “pre-natal care” does not appear on the list of services provided by their clinics. It does list “Pregnancy Testing & Services,” but what exactly does that comprise? It’s not pre-natal care at most of these clinics:
pregnancy testing
abortion services
abortion referrals
adoption referrals
fertility awareness education
pregnancy planning services
trained staff to discuss your options with you if you are pregnant
trained staff to talk with you about early pregnancy loss (miscarriage)
The only mention of pre-natal care on the Tempe, AZ website (where the first call is placed) is this: “If you choose to continue a pregnancy, we will provide you with a list of resources to help you obtain prenatal care.” That’s also all the help they give with “abortion referrals,” too — handing a list to the patient that she could have gotten from any another clinic, or even off the internet. It seems quite a bit more likely that other clinics that aren’t oriented toward being abortion-mill chains might even actually have pre-natal resources right there … the kind of arrangement for lower-income women that it would make sense to fund on the federal level. To the extent that federal dollars go to Planned Parenthood, it crowds out other clinics who could have provided more comprehensive — and life-affirming — options and services.
Live Action promises a new series of these videos, and they usually deliver the goods. The timing is perfect. Let’s hope Congress and a new president are watching.
Planned parenthood in our area provides hormones for male to female and female to male people who want to look like the opposite sex.
They advertise it on their website.
