"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.
Please share this video with your friends on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveaction/videos/10154911641473728/.
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.

She need not actually schedule anything. Just pick up the phone, and start asking questions. Feed them a line of bullshit. The people in the video set a fine example. Just dial the number, tell them you need a pap smear. They'll tell you whether they do pap smears. Later, call again and ask about a mammogram. Maybe the next day, inquire about prenatal care. You can go as fast or as slow as you like - spend several minutes grilling them in one go to find out what services they offer. Or, you can spread it out over some days, checking off one service after the next. I'm not an OB-GYN, of course. I don't even know all of the problems for which women go to see women's doctors. But, I know enough about OB-GYN to know that if all they offer are abortions, then they don't give one small damn about "women's health". See if she can get treatment for an STD. Treated for a yeast infection. She needs post-natal care.
More and more videos are coming out, making it clear that PP doesn't do "women's health" - they are an abortion company.
Please note - I'm not even arguing here that abortion is wrong, or right, desirable or undesirable. I am simply pointing out that Planned Parenthood is merely another corrupt corporation, sucking at the government teat, and misrepresenting what they provide in exchange for that half billion dollars.
Planned Parenthood is on par with any of the military industrial corporations that suck money out of that big government teat, then fail to deliver anything worthwhile. Planned Parenthood and Northrup Grumman. Planned Parenthood and Bath Iron Works. I don't even want to argue about abortion. I'm trying to help people see how CORRUPT Planned Parenthood is.
Remember that video where ACORN officials were recorded, giving advice to an apparent under aged prostitute? That same sort of advice, under similar circumstances, is being given to women today. PP portrays themselves as being concerned with human traffiking, and claim that they call the law whenever they suspect that something like that is going on.

Please, watch the video. You can, of course, do any fact checking you care to do. PP is dirty, it's just that simple.

Asked her to do it today. Apparently she's already gone to them before for an HPV vaccination some time ago before we started dating because she got spooked into it (which I would be in this day and age) and didn't have health insurance at the time. I took that as a tacit "I'm not going to call them now," so I didn't push the issue. Dunno if that qualifies as a legitimate health service, but it was good enough for me.

Fair enough - you asked. Which is more than most are willing to do. Obviously, you have an open enough mind to actually ask questions, and not swallow the party line. Salutes for that.
The HPV vaccine was politicized. I remember that, but I've never done any studying on it. I might speculate that PP got involved with the vaccine because it was politicized - or it may be a more legitimate service than that.

Yeah, 6 years ago Michelle Bachman object to the idea of protecting the sex lives of 11 year old girls. The effectiveness, as well as the duration of the inoculation is questioned, legitimately it seems. But the biggest part of the objection centers around "11 years old" and "sex". This is something that PP would get involved in, even if they offered no other health services at all.
And, it's a point against the religious right, of course. 11 year old girls are more sophisticated than old men and old women at church believe them to be. They are already being educated about their bodies, and the anticpated first period.

I mean, as someone who bears both liberal and conservative tendencies, I struggle to really believe anything I read anymore, because half of it always sounds like bullshit even when I want to believe it.
I honestly don't care about the abortions though. I have no concept of the sanctity of life, and it's hard for me to pass a value judgement upon people for whom it is literally impossible for me to ever even hypothetically be in the same situation, They could be doing that full-time and it wouldn't really bug me. I wonder if it's not that they don't offer those other services, but that most people don't go in for that. Suppose everyone gets abortions from Planned Parenthood because that's singularly what Planned Parenthood is known for. Kinda like how "no one supports linux because no one supports linux".
Now, admittedly, I don't know much about what I'm talking about. I've not done the research you appear to have done. I'm totes just talking out my ass at this point, but I've never really seen them go out of their way to advertise anything, so they're probably really only known for what gets plastered all over the news, which is mostly "OMG ABORTIONS!" Combined with the fact that the people who require their services most are incidentally generally regarded as "low-information" people, it's not hard to believe. Combined with the fact that those people are not generally (and I am generalizing a lot) the ones forward thinking or living by such margins as to be concerned with "routine" procedures, but would definitely be triggered to act out of any number of motivations against a "life event". I'm just wondering if the dark conspiracy here could be explained through much more simple, human means.

It's not to protect the sex lives of 11-year-old girls; it's because of these three realities:
1) A minority of 11- and 12-year-old kids do have sex of some kind, almost always because they're messed up and trying desperately to get "love" by pleasing the person.
2) Some 11- and 12-year-old kids do end up having sex forced on them by someone else.
3) A hell of a lot of teenagers do have sex of some kind before adulthood.
(I'm saying "kids" because they're now finally talking about giving boys the vaccine for their own protection.)
The idea being that any of those 3 situations shouldn't result in the kid either developing HPV-induced cancer a few decades later, or transmitting a cancer-inducing HPV strain to somebody else. It doesn't mean anyone expects or wants children to have sex, just recognizing that it unfortunately sometimes happens. :-p (I'm sure you'll agree that if a kid is messed-up enough that potentially catching HIV/AIDS isn't a deterrence, then HPV sure as hell isn't going to be.)
If we made vaccination decisions based on what we foresee happening in the next year or two, then a hell of a lot of people wouldn't have their children/teens get any vaccines unless they're planning to visit a third-world country. In fact, it's the "well, I'm not planning to expose the kids to horrible diseases, so I'm not taking the risk of vaccinating them" logic that results in people not having their kids vaccinated. IIRC you're not a big fan of that logic, unless I'm mixing you up with someone else?
