Good. You can get decent healthcare without the trashcan full of infant corpses in the back alley...

PP is not all about abortions. When will people begin to understand that they provide a needed service and most clinics don't even offer abortions.
But these closings not only will do nothing to reduce abortions but may result in an increase in abortion in those areas. First, none of the clinics being closed performs abortions; in fact, none of the clinics run by Planned Parenthood of West and Northern Michigan affiliates perform abortions. But they do offer a wide range of services that help prevent both unwanted and unhealthy pregnancies, and thus help reduce the incidence of abortion.

Beat me to it, thank you for pointing that out!

Too often people simply equate Planned Parenthood with abortion, when the reality is they provide more pre-natal care than any other organization.

I'm always amazed whenever some pro-lifer is happy that a place that is trying to encourage responsible parenthood and healthy pregnancies has closed. It's like they don't care about the kid, just so long as he's born.

Once again denying decent women's health care, what a wonderful country we live in.


And inexpensive healthcare. I admire PP because they're really good about helping low income women. Recently, birth control prices have skyrocketed on college campuses, so because of this I'm going to PP to get BC, when I need it.

Yes, people need to stop equating PP with abortion. Yes, they provide abortions, but that's only 3% of what they do. The rest is gyno exams, pap smears, giving out free condoms (I like that :D ), pre-natal care, family planning counseling, STD testing, etc.

It's sad to see this happen, because many go to PP for these types of things.

Hey, black why don't you show me where there are infant corspes behind trash cans at PP's? Do you have any evidence of this? Or just stop making stupid comments.

RTFA next time before making such an ass of yourself, ok?
Planned Parenthood's Annual Report cites over a quarter of a million abortions performed in their clinics per year. Small price to pay for "choice"...
right?

Yet they turn out MILLIONS of abortions. I guess the ones that ARE killing babies are working overtime.

Planned Parenthood performed 3,246,934 abortions
from 1977 through 2002

... this is roughly 18% of the nations recorded abortions.
...That's it?

Wow... I was about to say that the gov't shouldn't fund PP because to me, it's a business. I still believe that PP should be a privately-owned business but... just 18%?

...

Where's the other 82% coming from?

HERE is what 3% (a padded #) of PPs procedures result in.

So who is doing the other 82% and why aren't you trying to close them down?
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of abortion providers in the United States. One entity is responsible for the 18% of them. That is a terribly HIGH number... not low as you would like to see it as. PP has the nations HIGHEST abortion rate. Period.

And the others don't go without protest.

How is that link not credible? That is the sick, twisted reality of what some of you are defending.

...and all you have to do is look at PPs annual reports to see what 10,000,000 services they provide- near 40% of it is condoms and pills. Cushion.

Hey, here's a twisted reality! Chances are that if fundynuts like you had their way, there still would have been about the same number of abortions - they just would have killed or injured a lot more mothers.

Just out of curiosity, what punishment would a mother who had an abortion get, in you perfect world?

Planned Parenthood is the #1 abortion provider in the united States.They make money off of dead children and all in the name of choice.

:clap: Praise God another Planned Parenthood is closing its doors.:clap:

I'd be perfectly happy with this if it was only the clinics that offered abortion that were being shut down but that is most likely not the case. More than likely clinics that offer health care and condoms and other forms of birth control are also being shut down and that is sad. Women need access to health care and birth control and Planned Parenthood is a top provider of both. But needless to say, I won't be shedding any tears for any abortion clinics being closed down.
