Vanity: I need proof Planned Parenthood doesn't provide medical care

The best evidence might be their name. It isn’t Planned Women’s Medical Services.
`Planned Parenthood’ sounds better than Partial Birth Abortions R Us.
By trying to present themselves as a full service medical clinic for women they admit they don’t want to talk about what they really do: their target demographic is pregnant women and their mission is killing babies.

I can tell you that my oldest daughter, 13 years ago, got pregnant in college. Planned Parenthood hooked her up with an OB/GYN so that she had medical care and a healthy pregnancy. I don’t know if they still do that today, but back then they made sure she got help. That was 2 degrees ago, and it made a big difference in what could have been a very bad outcome. That baby is a beautiful healthy 12 year old now, and my daughter is now a Nurse Practitioner.

Trump’s early response was a good one.

Trump will fund planned parenthood once they stop doing abortions. (...if there is anything left to fund, like they claim.)

Depends on your definition of "doing Paps". Scraping the vagina/cervix and placing the tissue on a slide is NOT performing a Pap. It's just collecting a specimen to be sent to an outside lab. Most of the time it's more for STD's than cancer screening.

Basic gyn wellness care? Like what? Recommending a birth control?

It’s my understanding Cecile Richards admitted under oath in testimony before Congress that PP owns ZERO mammogram machines.

I hear this guy is a part time contractor at PP.

First, I'm a pathologist and cytopathologist and I look at Pap smears for a living. No matter who is doing it the clinician (gynecologist, nurse practitioner, etc.) scrapes the cervix and sends the specimen to a lab like mine. PP does it no differently than anyone else. And basic gyn wellness care includes STI screening, pelvic exams, and, yes, birth control. I'm not defending PP, it's a sleazy outfit and I'm glad my lab doesn't do business with them. I'm just trying to set the record straight.
