Where’s the barf alert for this article?
PP is the biggest abortion provider in the country. That’s how they make the bulk of their money. So stop with the cervical screening crapola, they can go other places for that stuff, and to doctors and midwives who do NOT do abortions.
In my area, PP was one of the lowest cost womens health clinics in the area and a help to those broke and/or without insurance.
I did go there when I was fresh out of college and without insurance and they provided a ton of cheap health care and birth control to a lot of people I know (including myself), so this guys argument is not entirely without merit.
They caught and treated my friends cervical cancer - she couldn’t afford a regular doc and would have been in deep doodoo without treatment.
In no way do I approve of the abortion side of their business, but at least in my AO they’ve likely prevented more unwanted pregnancies than they’ve ended (from the local stats I’ve seen re: # of abortions vs # of women treated and provided w/BC).
I’m no more a fan of abortion than you guys are but PP does have some value in its non-abortion services and discounting those ends up undermining the cause and makes people discount your arguments.
And some of those non-abortion services prevent the unwanted pregnancies that would be in danger of being terminated if they happened.
