"Prenatal care. These are the kinds of services folks depend on Planned Parenthood for.”
- Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards
Planned Parenthood is spending millions of dollars in advertising right now, saying they support “choices” for pregnant women, but nothing could be further from the truth…
Despite Planned Parenthood’s claims, Live Action’s investigative team found that prenatal care is virtually non-existent for mothers who actually want to keep their babies. We documented it in our NEW investigative video, which you can see HERE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekgiScr364Y
Our investigators contacted all 41 Planned Parenthood affiliates in the United States, reaching out to 97 facilities, and discovered only FIVE offered any sort of prenatal care at all.
By turning away pregnant women for prenatal care, it’s obvious Planned Parenthood has one priority - and supports only one option - for most women: abortion.
But that doesn’t stop Planned Parenthood from lying to the public about its prenatal services. In fact, this is all part of Planned Parenthood’s strategy to protect its $550 million in taxpayer funding -- by downplaying the 887 preborn children they dismember, poison, and starve to death every day.
With the fight to defund Planned Parenthood in full force in Congress, we need to act quickly and share this information with more Americans so that, they too, know the truth: Planned Parenthood is not a “health care provider,” they are an abortion corporation.

And for your friends who aren’t on Facebook, email them this link.
In the following weeks, Live Action will be releasing more videos exposing Planned Parenthood's relentless focus on abortion and the lack of authentic health care. Live Action’s groundbreaking investigative report will shatter the narrative and the myths Planned Parenthood so desperately want the American people to believe.
Now is the time to deal a crippling blow to the abortion giant - the lives of preborn children are depending on us. Together, we can put an end to Planned Parenthood’s lies and the state-sponsored killing of children.

President Trump signed an executive order on Monday barring federal funds from organizations that promote abortion around the world, including the International Planned Parenthood Federation, in what activists say is the president’s first major pro-life action while in office.
The policy, known as the Mexico City Policy or the Global Gag Rule, was first ushered in under Ronald Reagan and bars federal funds from going to foreign organizations that perform abortions overseas or lobby for the practice’s legalization in other countries.
“American taxpayer dollars have many good uses, but paying for elective abortions overseas is not and never has been one of them,” Steven H. Aden, senior counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom, said in a statement. “The president has done the right and logical thing in reinstating a policy that never should have been rescinded.”
The International Planned Parenthood Federation said it will continue to promote abortion around the globe and forfeit the $100 million it had received annually from the U.S. government.
“We cannot — and will not — deny life-saving services to the world’s poorest women. We will work with governments and donors to bridge the funding and service gaps the Global Gag Rule creates,” the group said in a statement. “We will ensure that women can exercise their rights and access safe abortion and family planning.”
Marjorie Newman-Williams, vice president and director of Marie Stopes International, an abortion advocate that stands to lose $30 million from the executive order, said abiding by the Mexico City Policy would mean “turning our backs on the very women who need us most.”
“All the medical evidence, as well as everything we know from our daily interactions with women, is unequivocal: if you take safe abortion services out of the reproductive healthcare package, it exposes women to risk,” Ms. Newman-Williams said in a statement.
The Mexico City policy was first instituted in 1984, but was repealed by former president Bill Clinton in 1993. It was reinstated by former president George W. Bush in 2001, only to be nullified again by former president Barack Obama in 2009.
The executive action was one of many Mr. Trump signed on day one of his presidency, including a freeze on federal hiring and pulling the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. The pro-life policy also comes one day after the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision creating a constitutional right to an abortion.
Pro-life advocates said Mr. Trump’s prioritization of the Mexico City Policy shows he’s willing to advance comprehensive pro-life legislation during his presidency.
“His administration will have more opportunities to pursue pro-life policies in the weeks and months to come, such as ending taxpayer funding for the abortion industry, signing the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the Conscience Protection Act, and much more,” Melanie Israel, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, said in a statement.

Another fascinating aspect of the situation is not all abortions are poor people, but the strongest demographic traits are minority race (like 2/3 of abortions despite being a minority of the population) and being non-Christian (numbers all over the map on this figure). Just saying most of the people getting abortions are not white Christian girls.
This shows up in politics where there are strange bedfellows and a fairly accurate litmus test for neocon/legacy republican vs alt right is if they hate PP or if they're along the range of neutral to collecting donations for PP.

One of our more shameful sides in foreign relations and foreign policies, have been forced sterilizations. I should do some searching for old articles soon. All over Africa, especially, women would come in for "free" health services, only to be tricked into being sterilized. Those "human weeds" that Margaret Sanger loved so much. Why abort them one at a time, when you can sterilize a woman, ensuring that she has no more children?
I wonder if the international PP supports any of the groups involved with those scandals.

Yes, congratulations, you're getting what you wanted (emphasis mine):
[...] if a clinic receives even $1 of U.S. foreign assistance for family planning, its doctors and nurses are limited in what they can do to help their patients. They can’t counsel a woman on the full range of health options legally available to her, refer her to another provider for specialized care or even give her a pamphlet with medically accurate information. That’s why we call it the global gag rule, because it prevents doctors from talking to their patients [...]

You'll be delighted, I expect, by Mr. Trump's appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court:
Trump says he’ll name his pick to fill the late Antonin Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court as early as next week. Two contenders for the seat have emerged: Judge William Pryor Jr. and Neil Gorsuch. Pryor is a fierce opponent of abortion who has called Roe v. Wade the "worst abomination of constitutional law in our history." He also opposes LGBT rights and has backed an anti-sodomy law in Texas.

Maybe not "delighted" at Trump's choices. But, liberals were certainly expecting this. They've been dumping on Joe Average American for how long? The voters decided. Now we watch the pendulum swing the other direction for awhile.
Damned shame all the liberals and all the conservatives can't moderate themselves. Then, we might elect some moderate rulers. But, no, the two dominant parties have to be divisive asses all the time.

I apologise if I'm misconstruing these journal entries as a general distaste for abortion.
> They've been dumping on Joe Average American for how long?
I wonder what you mean by this. Does it include the things I mentioned or alluded to—the court's decision in Roe v. Wade or its decisions legalising sodomy and gay marriage? What about (not mentioned in my other post) Griswold v. Connecticut?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griswold_v._Connecticut [wikipedia.org]
Or are you, as I suspect, alluding to something altogether different?

This sort of thing, which has been going on for a couple decades now. We had another white bitch in the news not long ago, who passed herself off as black, so that she could whore herself off to the black community.
Black people have legitimate greviances against the whites - anyone who fails to understand that is simply retarded, and not fit for conversation of any type. But, white women like this who are given a voice, and all they can do is to attack their own parents, grandparents, great~great~greats, and even their own children? Fek. These are the worst of the worst of the SJW's - and it's hard to stomach the best of them.
Microaggressions? I don't waste my time on that kind of crap. I want to smack them upside the head with a three pound hammer. Nothing micro about that, is there?
And, Sally Boynton Brown is the first super bitch to have a voice in the Democratic party. There was a whole parade of shrill shrews backing Clinton, all of whom should have become better acquainted with abortion procedures more than six decades ago.
