Sacramento, CA – Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California (PPAC) recently published a scathing press release attacking California Governor Gavin Newsom after he dared to propose using $1.6 billion generated by Prop 35 for something other than financially propping up Planned Parenthood’s poorly run abortion clinics.
The release claims Newsom’s cuts would remove one-third of the abortion giant’s annual budget in California – a budget that PPAC seems to think the state of California is required to fund.
Describing itself as “irreplaceable,” PPAC emphasized California “must ensure Planned Parenthood health centers can keep their doors open,” calling on the state legislature to take immediate action and protect PPAC’s financial interests.
No less than four times in the short release, PPAC also dramatically lamented the possible removal of federal funding by Congress, demanding the state of California make up the difference by refraining from “slashing critical funding” and “[continuing] on its course in investing in reproductive health care” (i.e. PPAC).
“Planned Parenthood’s sense of entitlement is nauseating,” says Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, “not to mention the incredible hypocrisy. This is an organization that has been convicted of medicaid fraud, has recently been accused of financial mismanagement by its own employees among multiple affiliates, is rife with malpractice lawsuits, and is even, at this moment, facing a possible strike right from California employees over terrible work conditions. Yet California taxpayers are somehow obligated to keep funneling money to this corrupt and abusive organization? What an absolute sham.”
Days before Planned Parenthood publicly attacked Newsom, unionized workers of Planned Parenthood California Central Coast (PPCCC) voted in overwhelming numbers for a strike, citing poor working conditions like an untenable turnover rate and lack of pay for overtime – all of which workers say are creating patient safety issues.
Planned Parenthood employees say they have offered many solutions to these problems, only to be repeatedly rejected and ignored by management.
Employee grievances like these are running rampant in Planned Parenthood.
Earlier this year, the New York Times published a bombshell exposé on the crumbling inner workings of Planned Parenthood, reporting concerns and complaints from employees in as many as nine states, including California.
Untrained staff, injured patients, terrible working conditions, a ‘conveyor-belt’ approach, and massive misuse of funds were just some of the complaints voiced by employees across the nation.
Just weeks ago, a former Planned Parenthood nurse also came forward. She quit her job at the Omaha clinic in Nebraska after being asked to break protocol more than once, and then being ignored by management when she expressed concerns. Like many other employees who have spoken out, this nurse said she felt Planned Parenthood “used her passion for abortion access as leverage.”
“Planned Parenthood is doing nothing in America that merits them making any demands on taxpayers or legislatures of any state, even radical pro-abortion California,” adds Newman.
“Planned Parenthood is nothing more than Big Abortion, puffing itself up like some noble savior of women while its employees waste away, its patients end up butchered and abandoned in some ER, and its higher-ups take home six-figure salaries. The abortion cartel has been laughing at America for decades, but voters and legislators are waking up fast. Planned Parenthood is losing ground so fast because no one is buying its victim story anymore – not even its own employees.”
I believe the bill in the senate now partially defunds PP. It’s a step in the right direction, but this criminal organization shouldn’t receive any taxpayer funds or payments from the national credit card. Shut them down, Holy Father, in the Name of Jesus.
Very smart man.
He definitely had a way with words.
That one perfectly sums it all up.
“irreplaceable”?
California “must ensure” they can remain open?
The Entitlement of the Evil...hubris beyond measure.
Thanks for posting. Our taxpayer dollars used for their anti-life agenda. HOORAY families!
“propping up Planned Parenthood’s poorly run abortion clinics”
Does poorly run mean not slaughtering enough babies every day?
