The American Principles Project (APP) Wednesday criticized the Obama administration for allowing the elimination of $600 million for Community Health Centers while protecting funding for Planned Parenthood as part of last week’s budget deal agreed to by Congress and the White House.
Touting Planned Parenthood as a key women’s health-care provider, Democrats held firm to their promise not to allow cuts to the nation’s largest abortion provider. Community Health Centers, which do not perform abortions, provide health services to the needy — including mammograms and pre- and post-natal care.
According to the American Principles Project last year Community Health Centers performed 320,000 mammograms while Planned Parenthood did none.
“Coating its ideology in flowery language about women’s health and alleged Republican mean-spiritedness, liberal Democrats refused to cut one dime out of Planned Parenthood’s plump federal purse during the budget debate,” said the president of APP, Frank Cannon. “All the while a sharp knife was being taken to community health centers that actually perform full-scale exams for the needy. These health centers offer prenatal care to women and their babies – 480,000 times in 2009 alone. Planned Parenthood? Their 850 clinics average less than one prenatal visit a month, in other words, it’s not their line of work.”
Following passage of the stimulus in 2009, at Unity’s Upper Cardozo Health Center in Washington, D.C., First Lady Michelle Obama praised the allocation of $851 million in grants to Community Health Centers across the country and explained their indispensability to the less fortunate.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Why didn’t WLB Obama take care of this issue in the health care project? If abortion is a “right” why do women have to go to a private company to exercise a “right?”
well if the GOP and John Weepy Boehner are serious about this one, they’ll won’t give in. Have to cut more than $38 Billion
“According to the American Principles Project last year Community Health Centers performed 320,000 mammograms while Planned Parenthood did none.”
Note to self for next time I read about how the taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood is for mammograms, and other womens health issues, and NOT abortions.
America has to learn that Democrats lie. They lie like Muslims. Together the two of these dispicable cults seek World domination, and will do, and say whatever they must to achieve their unified goal. Lies, Terror tactics, intimidation. Whatever it takes.
bump!
Let’s just ask the democraps what their priorities are
Killing babies is top #1 priority, over all other things.
bttt
Ah yes Community Health Centers. I remember these from the 1980’s and “90’s. The Federal Government payed these Center a larger reimbursement than ordinalry Medicare payments to physicians. They were springing up all over the place. Many owned by hospitals. I worked at one for 2 weeks got 60.00 an hour and saw a total of 6 patients. All the Senators got to get one at least and the papers touted the gravy coming home. What a waste of MONEY. They built these in small towns of a feww hundred. And no they were less than 10 miles from a larger town and hospital. But, there was money to be made. WASTEFUL. Most are closed now in my neck of the woods anyway.
All but one of those 6 patients were cheerleaders getting their sports physical.
