After withdrawing from Title X, reproductive health clinics (abortion clinics) scramble for cash
NBC Philly ^ | 8/21/19 | Elizabeth Chuck

In Utah, where Planned Parenthood has been the state's only Title X grantee since the 1980s, clinics had already been doing "some belt-tightening" ahead of the expected loss of funds, Karrie Galloway, CEO of Planned Parenthood Association of Utah, said.

"We have made the commitment that we're not going to do any knee-jerk reactions," Galloway said. Her organization receives about $2 million in grants each year from Title X, which serves just under 37,000 patients at seven of the eight Planned Parenthood sites in Utah, Galloway said.

But the clinics may not be able to continue offering free care to all low-income women.

Instead of not charging patients at all who normally receive services for free under Title X, those individuals "may pay 10 or 15 dollars, but we are going to work with them to make sure that they get the access to basic reproductive health care," Galloway said.

Such a charge, she feared, could dissuade patients who live below the poverty level from seeking care.

"If we are not able to secure an alternative source of funding, there will be a danger of having to close clinics," she said.

If the killers at PP can murder a baby for $10-$15, cheaper than hair weaves or custom nails, why have taxpayers been giving them almost a billion dollars a year? They ought to have plenty of money for “health care for women” without doing abortions.

May these money-grubbing murderers be dealt with EVER SO severely by the Lord Jesus, who said ‘let the little children come to me, for such is the kingdom of heaven.’

With this, people should see what their priorities are. But far too many won’t.

That’s the best news. Remember that and let nothing stop you from getting out and voting in 2020.

Only the sick left can call murdering babies reproductive health.

Nothing thrills a Democrat like a mutilated baby.

If abortion is reproductive health...

Whale-exterminaton is Oceanic Health.

Mountaintopping/Strip Mining is Wilderness Health.

And clubbing and skinning makes for a healthier seal pup.

At 37,000 “patients” that $2 million works out to $54 per patient. That’s $4.50 a month.
Maybe they need to rethink their business model. Among other things.
