If I’m not mistaken, they also do breast cancer screening and services for men. As said by the poster in Comment #1, abortions are separated and receive no funds. Incidentally, low income men are also seen, probably for sexually transmitted diseases, so I suppose in addition to keeping legs closed, keeping it in your pants is a good idea.
Some services it provided in addition to abortions were:
4.5 million tests and treatment for sexually transmitted infections
3.6 million contraception related services
935,573 cancer screenings including breast exams and Pap tests
1.1 million pregnancy tests and prenatal services
This information from: http://www.factcheck.org/2015/09/planned-parenthoods-services/
People really need to learn to read. The FReeper who posted this article clearly stated in Comment #1: ... “funding Planned Parenthood received for those health services — which are separate from its abortion services that receive no public funds —”... RECEIVE NO PUBLIC FUNDS means Christian taxpayers in TX have NOT been subsidizing abortion.
If you have sons, I sure hope you are telling them to keep it in their pants, just as I imagine you have told your daughter not to open her legs. Spoken as a mother of two sons, married now, with wanted children.
Ooooh Ovomit is putting Texas on notice. We are sooo scared.
He can GF himself. Nothing but a parasite!
Decided to check out the mammography controversy. Apparently PP, like a regular doctor will do breast exams and then refer a woman for a mammography. It seems that there is NO WAY a woman can get a mammography without a referral. Then the results are returned to the doctor or PP and NOT to the woman herself. As to putting babies up for adoption, I suspect there is a definite surplus of unwanted babies of black, addicted mothers who will never be adopted which we will be paying for over the rest of their lives.
A disturbing piece of information which I have not yet researched is that in the 90’s which were 15 to 20 years (prime crime age years) after Roe v. Wade in 1973, there was a major decline in murder rates. I know that in the city near where I live the rate dropped from over 500 to less than 200 in that time period. So it seems by forcing unwanted babies to be born, while at the same time NOT providing well run, tightly supervised, sensible social service, we are engendering murders at the other end of the line. Abstinence should definitely be part of a well run school sex education program, but abstinence ONLY has resulted in higher rates of teen pregnancy. Therefore, it should be part of a program that also provides adequate information about condoms and other forms of contraception. I know of some mothers in poor neighborhoods have their daughters given Norplant to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. Consider also the fact that private prisons have no incentive to provide education or counseling to their inmates, as recidivism definitely helps their bottom line. Perhaps we need a law that a private prison cannot receive 20% of our taxpaid money until a released prisoner has not reoffended for 5 years. I imagine the amount of counseling and useful education provided would increase rapidly.
God bless Texas!!!
I’m with you there but putting moral concerns aside the problem is that for every illegitimate child aborted there are 2-4 more that aren’t because their incubator (I refuse to call them mothers) either wanted the extra welfare for the kid or couldn’t be bothered or found out late in her pregnancy. Trying to close the barn door when the horse is running to it at top speed doesn’t work.
Actively requiring contraception for those on public or private benefits (preferably the implanted kinds) would do far more to solve this problem than legal abortions and it wouldn’t require playing Jack the Ripper with innocent babies.
“Actively requiring contraception for those on public or private benefits”
Sorry, that’s eugenics.
Actively requiring men who impregnate women to marry them, stay married, and treat them right—as we used to do—would be a better solution.
Nice idea, except 20 to 50% of men, particularly young ones are unemployed in the poorest areas where abortion is often sought. The women are often in fatherless families, so who does the “requiring?”
I do have sons, and one is in the Marine Corps, and yes I certainly have told them.
I agree that we are seriously broken. It will take some time to put Humpty back together, but it *can* be done.
Well, sadly, there’s that.
Maybe Trump’s Justice Department can make the prosecution of O’fakename’s forged birth certificate a continuing meme until O’Jackass decides to shut up....?
Trump needs to do this Nationally.
It’s a distinction without a difference; money is fungible. Funds received for “health services” means for money left over from other sources to kill the unborn.
The time is long past to defund the Left, and PP is a great place to start.
