Utah Policy Poll: Most Utahns have ‘unfavorable’ view of Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest provider of abortions, but says abortions account for a small part of its array of services.

Planned Parenthood is considering legal action against the pro-life organization that has released a series of secretly recorded videos scrutinizing the health provider’s fetal tissue donation program.

Saturday marked #PPSellsBabyParts National Day of Protest, arranged by the organization ProtestPP.

Still, the new Dan Jones & Associates poll finds Herbert, and Utah GOP legislators have nothing to fear from their party constituents concerning taking money away from Utah Planned Parenthood. Why does she haggle over prices and talk about “lowball” offers and say that “you know in negotiations the person who throws out the figure first is at a loss?” Their agenda is clear: ban abortion and shut down Planned Parenthood.

During the two-hour morning rallies, demonstrators prayed and chanted outside the facilities as they held signs condemning Planned Parenthood and its practices.

A few years ago, Indiana and Arizona lost court battles when they tried to stop Medicaid funds from flowing to Planned Parenthood clinics.

A protestor at the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Richmond, Virginia, noted that the turnouts are more than previously witnessed in pro-life demonstrations. But amid the furor caused by the string of CMP videos and congressional inquiries about the company’s relationship with Planned Parenthood, StemExpress announced earlier this month that it would cut ties with Planned Parenthood clinics.

The same week that Donald Trump belched up his predictable misogynist bile, Gov. Bobby Jindal defunded Planned Parenthood in Louisiana after Congress didn’t do so federally. Meanwhile, the videos continue to be released. “Its been exciting, just nonstop response”, Blackwell said.

A smaller protest took place in Fargo, which drew about 50 people, outside of a Planned Parenthood office at 624 Main Ave.

When the investigator asked Dyer if they receive support from Planned Parenthood officials Cecile Richards and Dr. Deborah Nucatola, the StemExpress head answered that they have “fantastic” working relations with the company.

Reimbursements, under the federal law, are only allowed when baby’s birth poses risk to the mother’s life or the child is the result of rape or incest. They have also encouraged some self-described pro-choice individuals to reconsider their position. The reality is that they have so much revenue from just abortions alone that there’s no reason why Americans should have to pay that.
