They do offer a long list of services. Treatment of acne, abortion. what the heck, they're both 1 service to PP.
Well here is an easy to understand at a glance list of what Planned Parenthood does.
Quote:
Our Clients
Planned Parenthood provides sexual and reproductive health care, education, and information to nearly five million women, men, and adolescents worldwide each year.
Nearly three million women and men in the United States annually visit Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers for trusted health care services and information.
Eighty percent of Planned Parenthood health care clients in the U.S. are age 20 and older. One in five women in the U.S. has visited a Planned Parenthood health center at least once in her life. Our Work
Planned Parenthood health centers focus on prevention: 76 percent of our clients receive services to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Planned Parenthood services help prevent more than 584,000 unintended pregnancies each year.
Planned Parenthood provides nearly 770,000 Pap tests and nearly 750,000 breast exams each year, critical services in detecting cancer.
Planned Parenthood provides more than four million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Three percent of all Planned Parenthood health services are abortion services.
Planned Parenthood affiliates provide educational programs to more than 1.1 million young people and adults each year.
Then you are aware that portions of medicaid pays for abortions ?
Does PP give a breakdown of medicaid covered abortions performed ?
Yes I am aware of that, you are also aware that it is only covered in 15 states and you must live and have the abortion in those states to have it covered. So having medicaid cover abortions is a States issue. You don't like it, don't live in that state.
But don't worry, most of them are Blue states and Texas is definitely not on that list.

You didn't get that info from PP though.
And I did post that link just a few posts ago on this thread.
Texas actually has defunded PP here and the court upheld it.
The female teenagers will have to go to the county health clinic for their acne treatment now rather than PP.
That doesn't surprise me, I doubt Texans care about the poor in their state, if only they would just move away to neighboring states.
PP isn't going to disappear. Remember..they say 60% of their funding is through donations.
All they need is to increase their donation campaign and stop paying for political ads.
You are more than free to open your checkbook to lend your financial support for what you believe.

Actually I do donate to Planned Parenthood, I have seen the good they have done for women and I support that.
Actually a decrease in sexual disease, abortion numbers would be better news.
That means people are being more responsible and careful.
Do you honestly think not funding Planned Parenthood is going to reduce sexual disease?
