While headlines blared today that four of Iowa’s 12 Planned Parenthoods are closing due to state cuts, there’s another story about the abortion giant shutting their doors in the Rocky Mountain region for an entirely other reason: lack of customers.
Half of the Planned Parenthood facilities in New Mexico are closing plus the last facility in Wyoming, for a total of five throughout the Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains region.
And the decision was not completely financial, like the Iowa closings claim to be.
Meet Adrienne Mansanares, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Chief Experience Officer, who unexpectedly is honest about why the abortion giant is closing these facilities.
She said that in Wyoming, the closing of the facility dealt with their patients going to other providers, including the Community Health Center of Central Wyoming.
And about the closings in New Mexico, which fall under her same organization, she said that “[F]unding is one thing that we look at, but we also look at whether our patients will receive excellent care at another provider…”
Wait, what?
Planned Parenthood is plainly admitting that their patients are going to other federally-funded health centers. It’s likely because these Federally Qualified Health Centers are in convenient locations, many of which serve low-income populations, and provide a much wider range of comprehensive healthcare than Planned Parenthood.
FQHCs outnumber Planned Parenthoods by at least 20-to-1. They served more than 22.9 million people in 2014 versus Planned Parenthood, who served 2.7 million during the same time. Based on numbers crunched by Live Action, who pored over the annual reports of Planned Parenthood, “98 percent of women in the U.S. will never visit a Planned Parenthood facility in a given year.”
Better choices for women are usually right around the corner. Alternative women’s health options are on average less than five miles away from the nearest Planned Parenthood.
At all three of the Planned Parenthood locations that are being shuttered in New Mexico, there are dozens of comprehensive federally-funded healthcare facilities within 25 miles, according to getyourcare.org.
These are the health centers that will get more taxpayer dollars if Planned Parenthood is defunded and be able to help even more women and their families receive healthcare.
But Planned Parenthood needs to be defunded first. It’s appalling they still receive over half a billion in tax dollars every year yet serve less people each year. By their own annual reports, between 2006 and 2015, the number of clients served by Planned Parenthood dropped 19% while their revenue rose by 24%. Under Cecile Richards’ leadership, cancer screenings and prevention services have been cut in half and abortions have skyrocketed from 289,750 in 2006 to over 324,000 in 2015.
Yet they continue to receive government funding because they spend millions of dollars in the political arena and are a force to be reckoned with. Just this past election cycle, Planned Parenthood had a ground operation larger than Hillary Clinton’s paid staff and pledged to spend $30 million to elect her. They also gave 99% of their donations to Democrats.
Planned Parenthood is voluntarily closing their doors because women are finding out that they have better options than the nation’s largest abortion provider. Thanks to Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains for finally admitting that we don’t really need them anymore.
if it wasn’t for the lucrative bribes paid to the Democrats, Planned Parenthood would’ve long since gone under or would been indicted out existence for selling baby parts.
I may be wrong, but perhaps women don’t want to support an organization that sells ... I even hate to use this word ... “parts” of aborted children.
Though it would be better if they weren’t taking their business elsewhere and instead have the baby and give it up for adoption to a married couple (a woman and a man) who are desperate for a child.

That organization should have been indicted for that, no doubt.
Amazing how our honest, neutral media didn’t pursue that atrocity...After all, look at how fair they have been to President Trump. /s

It’s a start.

Someone please call Hillary Clinton. She could sell part of her vast 7 million dollar firework collection she didn;t use to fund Planned Parenthood TODAY.
The lamestream was effective in advertising PP was the only game in town, but the daylight of “Project Veritas” opened the eyes and minds of women that didn’t know better.
Oh my gosh, I apologize for all of the multiple posts! I am on a laptop and I don’t know what happened. I probably put my palms down on it or something.
But....but....but...according to the left, Planned Parenthood is the only place available where women can go for “quality health care.”
Now that's a cause she could get behind.
It could even help her raise money for her new PAC. (shouldn't give her ideas, but she is shrewd and probably already thought of it).
She'd probably find a way to have the donations go to her, make speeches to feminist groups, send some $$ to PP and end up making money for herself! *shakes head*
The Democrat Party has aligned itself with an organization that diabolically cuts up murdered children and sells their body parts for large sums of money.
Just think about that.
Many PP have closed across Texas as well because of lack of customers.
I have noticed something in the younger women, many of them are against abortion. Absolutely against it, and even vocal about it. In the 70s, 80s most young women openly supported abortion, even those that said they personally would never have one said it should be legal for those that did want to have abortion. Now many straight out call it what it is, murder. The support is not there like it was.
I see posts against abortion on FB, posted by younger women- the 20somethings...and long threads where very few post any support for abortion.
I hope and pray this is a trend, and from what I see it may very well be a trend. Possibly the technology for clear ultrasound pictures has shown many the truth, there is indeed a baby!
These are the health centers that will get more taxpayer dollars if Planned Parenthood is defunded and be able to help even more women and their families receive healthcare.
Our local Crisis Pregnancy Center was able to obtain an ultrasound machine some years ago. In talking with the staff there, the ultrasound pictures were the key that prompted many clients to choose life for their unborn child.
This might have “something” to do the PP closings (/sarc):
“Rep. Marsha Blackburn has done an outstanding job chairing the House Select Investigative Panel in the midst of vicious opposition from those involved with the Abortion Cartel,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, who also served as a Founding Board Member for the Center for Medical Progress during its undercover journalistic study of the trafficking of aborted baby remains.
In addition to the nine criminal and regulatory referrals, the Select Investigative Panel has issued 41 subpoenas – not all of which have been met with full compliance. At least two providers, LeRoy Carhart and Warren Hern, who conduct abortions through all nine months of pregnancy received subpoenas but have not yet fully complied.
According to a fact sheet released by the Select Panel, the nine criminal and regulatory referrals include:
1. The University of New Mexico was found to have violated their state’s Anatomical Gift Act by receiving tissue from a late-term abortion facility, Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque, NM. The matter was referred to the New Mexico Attorney General for further investigation and prosecution.
2. After conducting a forensic analysis of the limited financial data submitted by StemExpress, the Select Panel found that it was violating federal law by profiting from the sale of aborted baby remains. Referrals were sent to the El Dorado, CA District Attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice.
3. The Panel’s investigation revealed that StemExpress and “certain abortion clinics” were violating patient privacy rights under HIPAA for financial gain. A referral was made to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
4. It was discovered that an abortion facility in Arkansas violated the law by selling aborted baby remains to StemExpress for profit. A referral was made to the Arkansas District Attorney.
5. The Panel uncovered evidence that a university in Ohio was violating state law by trafficking in aborted baby remains. An oral referral was made to the Ohio Attorney General.
6. DV Biologics, a tissue procurement company, was found to have been illegally trafficking aborted baby remains for profit and had failed to collect California sales taxes. The Orange County District Attorney has sued and the Select Panel made a supplemental referral. (Operation Rescue uncovered a quid pro quo relationship between the owners of DV Biologics and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who granted special favors to them.)
7. It was discovered that Planned Parenthood of Gulf Coast broke the law when it sold aborted baby remains for profit to the University of Texas. Operation Rescue’s Texas attorney, Briscoe Cain, received evidence of this illegal conduct through a FOIA request and referred the evidence on to investigators. The Select Panel referred the case to the Texas Attorney General.
8. Advanced Bioscience Resources was found to have profited from the sale of aborted baby remains to “various universities.” A referral was made to the Riverside, CA District Attorney.
9. The Panel’s investigation discovered that Presidential Women’s Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, violated the federal and state law though their relationship with StemExpress, which allowed it to illegally profit from the sale of aborted baby remains. The matter was referred to the Florida Attorney General.
“The Select Panel’s investigation has been worth every dime of money it has spent pursuing the truth. It has caused the break-up of several illegal aborted baby tissue trafficking schemes and launched investigations around the country,” said Newman.

This MUST prompt a criminal referral:
Remember when the "kind-hearted and compassionate" Clintons (Bill was then-President) assured us that abortion would be "safe, legal and rare?"
============================================
The kindly compassionate Clintons "forgot" to mention that they themselves opened the gates so that Planned Parenthood could traffic (and profit) in baby body parts.
(EXCERPT--WND.COM). Then-Pres Clinton is credited w/ opening up the market in fetal body parts. Since Clinton signed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, “fetal-tissue research” has expanded into a federally subsidized multi-million dollar industry of selling human spare parts salvaged from abortions.
For example, the NIH budgeted $21 million in fiscal year 1999 for grants and awards for fetal tissue research. At the University of Washington, the NIH subsidizes the central laboratory for human embryology.
According to a lab notice obtained by WorldNetDaily, it “can supply tissue from normal or abnormal embryos and fetuses of desired gestational ages between 40 days to term. Specimens are obtained within minutes of passage, and tissues are aseptically identified, staged, and immediately processed according to the requirements of individual investigators.” The notice is signed by Alan G. Fantel of the department of pediatrics.
At the time, two organizations that profited from this growth industry were (the now defunct) Opening Lines, a business formerly located in West Frankfort, Illinois...... and Anatomic Gift Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland.
Opening Lines gives credit to President Clinton for opening up the lucrative business in fetal tissue trade.
According to Opening Lines, on January 22, 1993, Clinton lifted the moratorium on federal funding. “This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders,” says the sales brochure.
Both companies served as wholesalers for the marketing of baby body parts to researchers, drug companies, hospitals and universities. These groups harvest the baby parts from abortion clinics and ship them to their customers.
Opening Lines provides fetal tissue researchers with a “fee for service schedule,” which gives prices for each body part. For example, Opening Lines charged:
<><> $150 for a spinal column;
<><> $400 for an intact embryonic cadaver;
<><>$75 for 8-week-old baby's eyeballs (40% discount for a single eye);
<><>$150 for two arms or legs; and,
<><> $100 for the skin of a 12-week-old baby.
<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);
<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civiland/or criminal RICO violations.
<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),
<><> 18 U.S.C. §241(Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).
<><> Possibly full investigations crentering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.
<><> Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.
Taxpayers demand investigation by the following agencies commence at once:
<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division
<><> IRS-Fraud Unit
<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,
<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.
<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section
<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.
