Trump Tells Planned Parenthood To Stop Abortions
Our response is short and simple: No way.
Ah, but does that make sense if abortions make up more than 3% of their bottom line? “There is an opportunity for organizations to continue the important work they do in support of women’s health, while not providing abortion services”.
The health of our patients is never up for negotiation.
Trump said that, as president, he “would be the best for women” and “the best for women’s health issues”.
Planned Parenthood isn’t the only organization or clinic that provides abortions – some hospitals do as well – but Richards said Planned Parenthood is being “singled out” by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress.
Planned Parenthood’s prohibited from using federal funds to provide abortions.
The Republican bill to replace the Affordable Care Act released just this week states that federal funding can not be used for abortions other than in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of a mother.
She said 10,000 people in Louisiana benefit from a menu of health services provided by Planned Parenthood.
The pro-life group also recently released another investigative video in which Planned Parenthood staff members throughout the country are repeatedly heard informing the investigator that their clinics do not offer “prenatal care”.
“Planned Parenthood saves lives and those who seek to defund them should be ashamed of themselves”, said Meg Green, a Malloy spokeswoman.

Mounting public popularity for contraceptives might be the reason the American Health Care Act (AHCA) – the GOP’s proposed replacement to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – doesn’t eliminate the birth control benefit, which allowed women with private insurance plans to get their preferred birth control at no extra cost.
There were 363,803 breast exams at Planned Parenthood clinics in 2014, resulting in approximately 11,000, or three percent, that resulted in a referral for mammography and other specialized providers. (Of note, the Hyde Amendment has long prohibited Planned Parenthood and similar entities from using federal funds to perform abortion). On top of that, 1 in 5 women is said to have visited Planned Parenthood in their lifetime. “Planned Parenthood would lose about half of their budget”.
At Planned Parenthood the care is pre-natal only in the sense that the tests are taking place before-birth. Thus, federal funds do not even get used for abortion services indirectly. That’s why they proposed this ridiculous exchange.
The 12-term congressman has garnered a 100 percent approval rating from the Right to Life movement, and 0 percent from NARAL Pro-Choice America, she said.
Margaret Sanger would be pleased that Planned Parenthood carried out her wicked vision for these many years. Our founder and her colleagues went to jail defending that idea.
