Here's this nuisance investigation, no worries they all involve cancer screening The problem is they're treating women under 18 without parents knowledge. Still waiting to see how many of you've been through an abortion yourself, under the age of 21......................

Report on Planned Parenthood Calls for Congressional Investigation (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/8162-report-on-planned-parenthood-calls-for-congressional-investigation - broken link)
Among the charges the pro-life group leveled against Planned Parenthood in the report are:

• The misuse of federal healthcare and family planning funds. “State audit reports and admissions by former employees detail a pattern of misuse by some Planned Parenthood affiliates,” noted the AUL.

A failure to report criminal child sexual abuse. According to the report, there is substantial and “still-developing evidence” that more than a few Planned Parenthood clinics have not reported all instances of suspected abuse, instead advising “minors and their abusers on how to circumvent the mandatory reporting laws.”

A failure to comply with state laws involving minors. “Some Planned Parenthood affiliates exhibit a pattern and practice of violating and circumventing parental involvement laws,” the report noted.

Assisting individuals engaged in prostitution and sex trafficking. “Some Planned Parenthood clinics have demonstrated a willingness to partner with pimps or sex traffickers to exploit young women instead of safeguarding their health and safety,” reported the AUL.

• A “dangerous misuse of the abortion drug RU-486.” According to the report, “Planned Parenthood’s admitted disregard for the FDA’s approved protocol puts profits above women’s lives and safety.”

• A “willingness to provide women with inaccurate and misleading information.” AUL found that some Planned Parenthood affiliates “continually demonstrate a disregard for women’s health and safety through their willingness to provide inaccurate and misleading information regarding fetal development and about abortion’s inherent health risks.”

There are regulatory laws that we have to abide by.

I am sure that for every medical professional that is unhappy with SGK, there is another one that is very pleased. I have never heard any of my friends and family in the medical profession say anything but good about SGK. You may have different experiences.
My experience is the complete opposite. I am involved in several cancer organizations (I'm Too Young for This!, the SAMFund, LLS, Dana-Farber affiliated groups) and have never heard a positive word for SGK. I am also a fundraising professional in a different field and a grad student in nonprofit management. SGK is often used as a case study for mismanagement and poor practice.

I can tell you that MY medical professionals (oncologist, oncopsychiatrists, onco-nutritionists) are some of the best in the country and they rail on pinkwashing.

Like I said.....for every positive, there is a negative. My moms oncologist has always been very supportive of SGK. To each his/her own.

True that many don't have on-site mammography; those who don't refer low-income women to appropriate clinics. PP does teach BSE, which is the first line defense against breast cancer. I believe that falls under both screening and education.

And that's part of the problem. As a guy, you should know that you can also get breast cancer. This is not a women-only disease. SGK does a pisspoor job of representing men with breast cancer and has actively advocated for government funds to go exclusively to women with breast cancer.

So, basically, "j'accuse"? Charges do not equal proof.

Now they have to prove it. And it will be fun when they bring that fake pimp/fake journalist out to prove his accusations.

Good to know! thanks.

Although BSE does not equal full screening exams and mammograms. So basically, PPH does not offer much in the way of discovering breast cancer.
