Odd. They pointed out this sort of clinic as the most while defending their funding, but kept open the abortion mills when push came to shove. You would think they were not being sincere. /sarcasm (for those who need it)

Note that PP closed the health clinics but kept the abortion clinics open. The government didn’t close anything. Planned Parenthood won’t help poor women but they will kill their babies.

The Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group based in New York, estimated this spring that without any Title X funding for low-income women and families, Minnesota would see a 17 percent increase in unintended pregnancies, a 24 percent increase in abortions and a 33 percent increase in teen births.

They pulled these numbers out of thin air. They don't even make sense. If there is a 17% increase in 'unintended' pregnancies, then there would also be a 17% increase in abortions and teen pregnancies. There is no way any of these new 'unintended' pregnancies will result in both an abortion and a teen birth.

By the way, the Guttmacher Institute happens to be a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood. Go figure.

Every story about Planned Parenthood always stresses how they do all these beneficial services besides abortions.

yep, no spin at all. (sarcasm)

And this one indicates that the clinics being closed don’t even do abortions. And it’s all the fault of evil Republican conservative types who want to turn back the clock, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Gee, one would have thought that all those caring progressives would have stepped in to fund these “vital” services to needy women. But then one wold have been wrong.

Always remember that, even if PP also provides some genuinely non-controversial services, their outfit is the USA's largest chain of abortuaries (in terms of # of abortions performed) -- and they are proud of it:

Recall their selling of holiday greeting cards emblazoned, "Choice on Earth":

And if there were any doubt about whether they're PRO-abortion, as opposed to stopping at merely pro-abortion-RIGHTS, remember this:

“They did not perform abortions, but provided services ranging from contraception to cervical cancer screenings to testing for sexually-transmitted diseases.”

So? Isn’t Obamacare supposed to take care of all that, lefties?

“without any Title X funding for low-income women and families, Minnesota would see a 17 percent increase in unintended pregnancies, a 24 percent increase in abortions and a 33 percent increase in teen births.”

How does a building prevent unintended pregnancies? I assume by passing out condoms and birth control. This is done in public clinics anyway, without the duplication.

And I would think that decreasing the number of abortion clinics would decrease the number of abortions, not increase it.

The increase in teen births is probably correct, since there will be less places to abort them.

Their arguments are so fallacious.

It's the Red Star. Do you expect it to be fair?

Abortion and government money make Planned Parenthood very profitable and enable its leaders to be extremely well-paid.

Unaffected is Planned Parenthood's clinic in St. Paul, which performed nearly one-third of the 12,388 abortions in Minnesota in 2009.

So they close the clinics providing actual health services to save budget to continue running the abattoir.

No real loss for Planned Abortion. None of the places they closed bring in abortion money, they just closed down a bunch of places DRAINING money from Planned Abortion’s coffers.

They will promptly reroute some of that money to democrats in the 2012 elections.

I think they must be called a more accurate name.

Planned No-Parenthood
