Planned Parenthood Falsely Correlates Access to Contraceptives and Increased Abortions

After the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to defund Planned Parenthood, the abortion provider launched one of its most aggressive grassroots campaigns urging the Senate’s Democratic majority to block the measure.
In attacking the Pence Amendment, the provision which bars the group from receiving federal tax dollars, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards warned that such a measure restricting women’s access to contraception service would only result in more abortions. But is this claim really supported by the facts?
The Daily Beast’s Kirsten Powers admits that after intuitively believing the argument and initially opposing the defunding provision, “a little research” forced her to change her stance:
A January 2011 fact sheet by the pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute listed all the reasons that women who have had an abortion give for their unexpected pregnancy, and not one of them is lack of access to contraception. In fact, 54 percent of women who had abortions had used a contraceptive method, if incorrectly, in the month they got pregnant. For the 46 percent who had not used contraception, 33 percent had perceived themselves to be at low risk for pregnancy; 32 percent had had concerns about contraceptive methods; 26 percent had had unexpected sex, and 1 percent had been forced to have sex. Not one fraction of 1 percent said they got pregnant because they lacked access to contraception. Some described having unexpected sex, but all that can be said about them is that they are irresponsible, not that they felt they lacked access to contraception. …
But what is truly astonishing about the Guttmacher statistics is that they are completely unchanged from a decade ago. …
Over this time period, the U.S. government has funneled billions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, in large part because the organization claims to provide services to avoid unplanned pregnancies – a laudable goal. Yet despite a robust budget—Planned Parenthood reported a total annual revenue of $1.1 billion in its last financial filing—the organization has done absolutely nothing to change the fundamental dynamics of the United States’ abortion rate. …
To preserve its federal subsidy, Planned Parenthood continues to claim that without its contraception services the abortion rate will go up. This deception smacks of a fleecing of taxpayers in an effort to promote an ideological agenda, rather than a sincere effort to help women plan families.
Claiming that their contraception services control the country’s abortion rate is not the only false claim Planned Parenthood is making to retain their free-flow of federal tax dollars. Just days ago, Richards falsely claimed that PP offers mammograms and that cutting funding for Planned Parenthood would mean more undetected breast cancer. (~3:57).
During the same episode, HLN’s sympathetic host Joy Behar derided pro-lifers as “illogical… evil… immoral… unethical… and stupid.”
“Whatever you think of abortion rights, this is not the kind of organization that taxpayers should be funding,” Powers concludes.

“As well as killing the heart and the soul of a child who was born unwanted and has no one to love them …”
This is bad … as bad as killing an innocent child … NO.
But here’s a greater point for you to consider. The mentality and culture represented by PP encourages the horrid idea that a child can be “unwanted”. If we are a loving people who honor all t is good, then every child is wanted. Do hear me? Every child should be wanted.
Do you presume to tell us the likes of “No Child Left Behind” in the same breath as it’s better to kill an unborn child than for him/her to be born? Shame on you. To turn your back on a child is a Godless act. This is the basic theme of those who justify abortion … and it’s also the “immorality” that Planned Parenthood” represents.
One more thing. Planned Parenthood is a classic case of progressive relabeling of something that’s quite the opposite. It should be called “Planned Childlessness”. It better reflects both its founders aim as well as its actually functioning in our country. It needs to be purged.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 9:38amHow about just some common sense reality?
Fact: The human body was designed to want sex. Why? To reproduce to keep the species from going extinct. We wouldn’t be here if sex was terrible, painful, awful, etc.
Fact: We may have evolved intellectually to discern the positive aspects of ‘family planning’. We know intellectually that in modern society, having babies early can doom a mother to years of poverty, etc. Yet it still happens…why?
Because even though our intellect has supposedly evolved, our bodies have not. Hence we have massively hormonal young people wanting to get laid. A biological imperative. A body is never more primed to reproduce than in youth.
What to do? TELL THEM. Tell them that their bodies don’t give a damn whether or not they should get pregnant, the odds are high that they will. That if they want any chance or hope in hell to succeed in life, that they need to delay this, for THEMSELVES. Yeah, you can do that to please your parents, you can do that to please religious figures, you can do that to support your relationship with God, you can do that because you don’t want to live your life broke…
But the bottomline reason is that if you don’t plan this sort of thing, you can change your life irrevocably and place it on a path where all of the OTHER things that you want to do may go straight down the drain and that it’s immature fantasizing to think that you can do both. Are you willing to trade your entire future for that hot date? Ready to roll the dice?
Stop bull****ing about this. On the right, stop acting like kids aren’t hormonal. it’s not just about transcending primal desires, it’s about getting on the road to success. It’s a trade off to choose one thing that they want more in the future over something that they want right now. On the left, stop acting like it’s romantic or inevitable. There is ‘romance’ and then there is ‘reproduction’ and honey, they’re two entirely different things. Kids and adults, can and do say ‘no’. And yeah, saying no is a GOOD thing. Get the left/right out of it and get down to brass tacks.
Ask them what do you want for YOUR mythical kids in the future? Do you want poverty, struggle, government aid? Or do you want a CHOICE?
The REAL ‘choice’ is before any sex happens at all. The key to success so many times is about AVOIDING situations that can cause you to get into trouble.
THAT is the truth whether you’re young, or old, married or single, financially solvent or broke. Transcends ethnicity, religion, political stands. Reproduction is a human activity. Don’t reproduce until YOU decide that is what you want to do. And stop having ‘stupid sex’. Stupid sex ignores the aforementioned realities. It objectifies the sexual partner and ignores the consquences, both physical or emotional. Abortion is not benign. Either you ignore the feelings that you have about it, have one, and then have to deal with it for the rest of your life, or else you’re turned off your humanity. It‘s not normal to have an abortion and say ’it‘s no big deal’. A woman who becomes pregnant is SUPPOSED to bond with that child in order for the child to have a normal life. It’s not healthy to turn that off….what happens when you turn it back on later because you want to have kids? You have the specter of the past staring you in the mirror. Now men might be able to play silly putty with that one, but as a woman, it‘s not something that can be avoided considering that it’s their body that you’re talking about. Can’t avoid any of it.
Sex is transient. Don’t play roulette with your life. Take it seriously because YOU are the one that has to deal with what comes next.
That’s my version of sex ed, and it applies to everyone. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood has failed in it’s supposedly marketed objective. I hear lots of ridicule about abstinence, but this entity is ripe for criticism. They’ve turned into abortion mills, sans any sort of delivering of common sense. THEY should be the ones saying all of this. Healthcare providers are not supposed to be automatons, they’re supposed to deliver the entire banana, which includes TEACHING. Well honey, as a former healthcare worker, that seems to be ABSENT from here.
When you teach human biology, physiology and what is known about human behavior, you give other people the tools that they need to make their lives work. Only dealing with the aftermath and standing mute on the behavior that got them there is doing a disservice to their clients.
Stop funding this inept and greedy organization.

The number of abortions is many times greater than that of suicides.
An overwhelming majority of Americans have decided it is much better to live a crappy life then to not live at all. Otherwise, I think suicide would out number abortions. Better yet, if life sucks so much, then why haven’t you comitted suicide.
Think of the Holocaust. How many people were tortured, beaten, starved, experimented on, and forced to live less than dogs. Yet they pressed on, they chose life. EVEN IN THAT HELL, PEOPLE, OVERWELMINGLY CHOSE LIFE.

as far as war goes, I for one wish it never was, personally… I would love to see wars fought more like the olympics or something, the countries at war send in their best and go one on one with the other country, winner take all!
I have tried to find some stats about how many of the millions of abortions are performed on women who have been raped or are victims of incest, no luck so far, BUT I am willing to bet it is a very low number. The fact that planned parenthood and others don’t include that stat in their own information, cosidering they claim it such a vital part of what they do. Makes me think that number is very low indeed. I have however worked with many women who have had abortions, only one that I know whos abortion was after rape. She still suffers the enourmous guilt and after affects of the abortion, AND the rape. Now she has two violent events to deal with. Although the rape and abortion were years ago, she still suffers. The aborion did not, in any way, help her deal with the violent act of rape, nor did it make her feel any better.
Not too long ago there was a story out where planned parenthood went back to the old “the mom’s life is at risk” excuse for abortion and medical expers said that with today’s advances in medicine, there is NEVER a time when abortion is necessisary for the safety of the mother, it is a myth, we no longer live in a time when mom’s die from childbirth very often, very rare.
do a quick search on post abortion and you will find thousands of stories from women who had abortions and now suffer, even years and years later. You will also find stories of men who suffer after the lose of a baby to abortion. High dpression, eating disorders, and suicided rates abound.
How much is our government (and private insurance companys) paying for these folks who make the “choice” to kill a baby.
Check it out before you spew the same old tired excuses for killing a baby. No one wins excpet those making money from it.
As far as unwanted babies, many waiting on adoptions really want those babies.
You bring up a valid point about supporting the mom and baby after the baby is born, your mistake is thinking it is the governments job to take care of them. God never told the government to take care of the poor and needy, He told the church too. The agency I work for DOES take care of those moms and babies after the baby is born. Only we don’t do it like the government does, we don’t just give them free stuff, milk and daycare and such. We work with them, help them get eduction, job skills, parenting skills, etc. We help them actually make a better life for their families so they don’t need government hand outs that enslave them in a life of poverty. By the way, we work with all poor and needy families, not just those with an unwanted pregnancy, and we help them all the same way…. not with handouts, with hand UPS…. and not with ANY government money. we are totally funded by local churches, businesses and individuals.
There are many ways to help these moms, killing the baby is NEVER the best answer, and killing the baby with tax payer money is TOTALLY unacceptable.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 3:00amHere is the problem that I see – after the baby is born from a perhaps single parent or parents who are struggling to make ends meet – why are we going to stop funding for resources for that baby then – Medicaid for health needs, funding for milk and food for that baby, or funding for daycare so the parents can continue to make the little money that they do made. Or funding for going back to school and day care for the baby so that the mother can further her education. My point it that you care and I do also for the unborn child but after the child is here the government wants to un-fund any resources so that baby can have a chance to survive in this world. There is something wrong with the whole picture. And to stop funding for abortion in the cases of incest or rape – or when the mothers life is at risk? And – where in the Bible does it say abortion is wrong? It says Thou shall not kill – so what are the stands of most of you on the death penalty or wars where hundreds of children are killed? How do you stand on those issues? You can not pick and choice what the Bible said – if it says Thou shall not kill – that means killing in any instances. As well as killing the heart and the soul of a child who was born unwanted and has no one to love them – that is just as wrong as abortion. http://wp.me/pYLB7-Il

You cannot compare a convicts death sentence to abortion either…the convict chose the path of his “LIFE”. And, now in this day and age, how many times do ever hear of a mother’s life being at stake because she going to have a baby…really? We live in a time where the chance of that happening is minuscule.

The Old Testament is an extremely bloody book, but even in the New Testament there are stories justifying capitol punishment. There is much lost in the translation and what we read as “Thou shalt not kill” should be “Thou shalt not murder” and “murder” translates as the taking of innocent blood.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 12:12pmIn the mid 70s my parents adopted a mixed-minority sibling group through the State of California. They were 8, 6 and 4, considered likely candidates for graduating from Foster care where they had been already for two years. Because my brother and I were 11 and 12 at the time, my parents were looking to adopt older children, though they hadn’t counted on a sibling group. The social worker who had their case was overjoyed to have a family NOT looking for a baby, because it seemed everyone wanted a baby, and there were none to be had after Roe v. Wade. Mom and Dad were told that in the entire state system there was ONE baby up for adoption that year. This does not include private adoptions, but the point is, there had never been an over-abundance of babies for couples wanting to adopt before, and there were always hundreds and hundreds before Roe v. Wade.
Back then, minority children were difficult to place, but this would not be a problem now. Most adoptive families I know have minority children. I also know a lot of wonderful couples who would like to adopt, but have not had the funds to do so. I know others who have tried to adopt through private agencies in the US but have been hurt so terribly by things falling through, that they have given up, and are now entering what should be their grandparenting years, with that hole still there.
There is no shortage of loving families for unwanted babies. There is a terrible shortage of loving families for unwanted older children, but it is presumed that those children, like my three younger siblings, were born wanted.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 3:25amEvery time anyone talks about defunding, PBS, NPR, Planned Parenthood. Etc….they always say, but that only accounts of a small percentage of our funds, why take it away, we can continue on whatever path..etc.
But when congress actually says, we ARE defunding PBS, NPR, Planned Parenthood….Suddenly, Oh My God, this is a huge percentage of our budget, you will kill us…..you can’t defund this.
So, what is it, when they support controversial topics or get caught in wrong doing, oh, public funding doesn’t matter, but when there is an actual pulling of public funds, the sky is falling.
I say, let them fail, if they are so important, Soros and company will step up. If not, I guess they will be the Edsel of the industry.
Veni, Veci, Vedi.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 7:58amNotice how liberals can lie with a straight face time after time. That must be something ingrained in the progressive left – I wouldn’t be able to look you straight in the eye and lie, but they seem to have no problem with that.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 9:36amIt seems at least two things are in play here; 1. PP thinks people are stupid and intends to take advantage of them with false statistical statements. 2. People are stupid if they believe this tripe.
My father used to tell me that statistics lie and only liars used statistics to back their arguments. Well, if you want a “government” grant you have to use the same language as the government in order to get it.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 12:18pmI agree also! Has Planned Parenthood Federation of America helped women, or has it hurt them? They like to list all the services they do for women, but I think they left a few out. For example:
How many cases of breast cancer have occurred in women because they had abortions at a PPFA clinic?
How many women are sterile because they got chlamydia after taking PPFA’s advice to have sex whenever they want and with whomever they want?
How many women have cervical cancer because they got HPV after taking PPFA’s advice to have sex whenever they want and with whomever they want?
How many women and men have died of HIV/AIDS after taking PPFA’s advice to have sex whenever they want and with whomever they want?
How many women have turned to drugs and alcohol because they couldn’t deal with the abortion that a PPFA clinic gave them?
How many women committed suicide because they couldn’t deal with the abortion that a PPFA gave them?
How many marriages and families have been destroyed by adultery because PPFA offered contraception and abortion as a way to cover up sex outside of marriage?
How many innocent young girls have remained victims of sex trafficking because PPFA refused to report the abuse and helped to cover it up?
How many innocent young girls have remained victims of incest because PPFA refused to report the abuse and helped to cover it up?
How many innocent babies have died at the hands of PPFA since it started doing abortion?
Planned Parenthood Federation of America has been destroying the innocent people of our country for too long! It’s time we put a stop to it!

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 2:54pm@Grandma;
The article states, “But what is truly astonishing about the Guttmacher statistics is that they are completely unchanged from a decade ago. …” What is astonishing is that people think there is not enough information regarding contraception. If you haven’t yet, read ‘Rules for Radicals’. It is the progressive’s bible, dedicated to satan, the father of lies.
