[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Founder of PP hated "inferior" people.[/quote]

And that has nothing to do with today’s PP and its mission. The founders of this nation, the writers of the Constitution owned human beings and thought Africans were inferior. Yet we do not dismiss this country or its Constitution because the founders were flawed. [/quote]
I noticed PP likes to set up its abortion mills in poor minority neighborhoods. They are clearly targeting poor black girls and women. They are racists just like founder Margeret Sanger was.[/quote]

PP provides healthcare to women. It’s really disgusting how much you hate that.

It's interesting that I never hear anyone say they've been to PP for healthcare. They do mention going to "doc in a box," emergency room, primary care physician, internist, OB/GYN, or the health dept.[/quote]

Are you a man? Do you think women are going to discuss their annual exam with you?

I know a lot of women who went to PP for their annuals and for birth control when they were in college and just starting out in their career. [/quote]

I know a lot of women who went there for their annual exam and birth control in college and early 20s. It wasn’t so easy at a regular gyn 25 years ago.

Last year, PP provided: 
4,712,985 STI Testing and Treatment
741,352 HIV tests conducted 
240,489 STIs diagnosed
2,620,867 Birth Control Information and Services
1,870,664 Reversible contraception clients 
631,510 Emergency contraception kits

Approximately 402,000 Unintended pregnancies averted by Planned Parenthood’s contraceptive services

570,444 Breast Exams and Pap Tests
296,310 Breast exams provided
274,145 Pap tests performed

70,193 Women whose cancer was detected early or whose abnormalities were identified

1.2 million People reached through education & outreach

More about how important that healthcare PP provides is to so many people:

Claim:
If Congress defunds Planned Parenthood, women will still have access to the same healthcare services elsewhere.
“If Planned Parenthood’s federal funding ‘went awaytomorrow,’ Mattox [senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom] argues, the money ‘would be better used by community health centers and other places around the country that can provide a fuller range of services to women without the ethical challenges that Planned Parenthood presents.’"[64]

[b]Facts:
Defunding Planned Parenthood would leave millions of women without access to critical and affordable healthcare services.[/b]
“More than half of Planned Parenthood’s health centers are in rural or medically underserved areas.”[65]
Planned Parenthood is the “sole source of medical care” for many women, particularly those living in rural communities.[66]
“In 18 states, Planned Parenthood health centers serve more than 40% of women obtaining contraceptive care from a safety-net family planning health center.”[67]
“Some community health centers provide assistance for low-income consumers, like Planned Parenthood, but not all do.”[68]
Since 2010, Congress has cut more than $31 million from Title X family planning funds. “A lot of communities lost the only providers they had” as a result of these “devastating cuts.”[69]
Remaining health clinics that serve low-income patients “haven’t been able to absorb the additional patients.”[70]
