Louisiana: Women Don’t Need Planned Parenthood. They Have Dentists.

Looks like the republican morons who are crusading to defund PP have no viable alternatives.. as expected. I mean, the thread title says it all.
Louisiana: Women don't need Planned Parenthood. They have dentists.

The task seems straightforward: Make a list of health care providers that would fill the void if Louisiana succeeded in defunding Planned Parenthood. But the state, which is fighting a court battle to strip the group of hundreds of thousands of dollars in Medicaid funds, is struggling to figure out who would provide poor women with family planning care if not Planned Parenthood.

Nowhere is this struggle more apparent than in a recent declaration by Louisiana's attorneys that there are 2,000 family planning providers ready to accommodate new patients. A federal judge, reviewing the list in an early September court hearing, found hundreds of entries for specialists such as ophthalmologists; nursing homes caregivers; dentists; ear, nose, and throat doctors; and even cosmetic surgeons.

"It strikes me as extremely odd that you have a dermatologist, an audiologist, a dentist who are billing for family planning services," said the judge, John deGravelles, who will determine in the next week whether it is legal for the state to end Planned Parenthood's Medicaid contracts. "But that is what you're representing to the court? You're telling me that they can provide family planning and related services?"


The war on women is over—and women lost. Read Mother Jones'investigation into what happened after conservatives fundamentally rewrote America's abortion laws.
His harsh questioning sent the state back to the drawing board. On Tuesday, the state's attorneys acknowledged that the dentists and other specialists didn't belong on the list. They filed apared-down version that lists just 29 health care providers.

Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican contender for the presidency, moved to cut off $730,000 in Medicaid reimbursements to the state's two Planned Parenthood clinics in late August in response to several heavily edited, widely circulated videos purporting to show Planned Parenthood employees selling fetal parts, which is illegal.

Planned Parenthood denies the charges and has asked for an injunction to block Jindal.

In straining to identify alternate providers, the state has added to a growing body of evidence that other health care providers would have a difficult time accommodating low-income women if Planned Parenthood were no longer able to take Medicaid.Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana do not provide abortions. Instead, the clinics provide thousands of annual cancer and STI screenings, overwhelmingly to low-income women on Medicaid. In Louisiana alone, the group last year performed 2,100 well-woman exams, 1,200 pap smears, and 11,000 STI tests, and it administered long-lasting contraceptives 4,100 times, to 5,200 patients, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast said.

Several Louisiana health care providers that would have to take over Planned Parenthood's patients have stressed that their capacity to do so is very limited. "You can't just cut Planned Parenthood off one day and expect everyone across the city to absorb the patients," Stephanie Taylor, who oversees the state's efforts to curb sexually transmitted diseases, told the New York Times. "There needs to be time to build the capacity."

Another obstacle is the dearth of family planning clinics and doctors that accept women on Medicaid or other forms of public funding. Across the country, Planned Parenthood provides contraception to almost 40 percent of women who rely on public programs for family planning. The Times notes that four out of five Planned Parenthood patients have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty level, at a time when two-thirds of states reported difficulties ensuring there are enough health providers, especially OB-GYNs, for Medicaid patients.

On Tuesday, there was fresh evidence for what the fight to defund Planned Parenthood means for poor women. The Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights think tank, published an analysis of nearly 500 counties where Planned Parenthood operates clinics. In 103 of those counties, Planned Parenthood is the health care provider for every single woman who relies on public funding for contraception. In an additional 229 counties, Planned Parenthood clinics provide care for at least half of patients who rely on Medicaid.

To be expected...This will drive a good 5-8 percent of the female electorate to the democrats.

Republicans can't win by doing so...

The Right has lost the Hispanics and any women in their right minds.

GOP solutions: Hm, let's defund PP and tell women to go see dentists. LOL.

 

[Moonglow]

So he's saying we wouldn't need PP if we gave out more facials?

 

[NYcarbineer]

So he's saying we wouldn't need PP if we gave out more facials?

Or send women to an ornithologist.

He can teach women that although the stork brings babies,

the bird that never brings babies is the swallow.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Family planning for a Louisiana woman is lining up her brothers and playing eenie meenie minie mo.

 

[Mr. H.]

Abortion is not Family Planning. It's the wanton murder of a family member.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

This is nothing new, of course – conservatives hostile to low income women, seeking to disadvantage them solely because they're low income.

The above is not a post. It's the meltdown of a madman.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Could be quite a shock to a Louisiana woman to discover that her shiny new gold tooth didn't keep her from getting pregnant.

Planned Parenthood denies the charges and has asked for an injunction to block Jindal.

In straining to identify alternate providers, the state has added to a growing body of evidence that other health care providers would have a difficult time accommodating low-income women if Planned Parenthood were no longer able to take Medicaid.Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana do not provide abortions. Instead, the clinics provide thousands of annual cancer and STI screenings, overwhelmingly to low-income women on Medicaid. In Louisiana alone, the group last year performed 2,100 well-woman exams, 1,200 pap smears, and 11,000 STI tests, and it administered long-lasting contraceptives 4,100 times, to 5,200 patients, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast said.

Several Louisiana health care providers that would have to take over Planned Parenthood's patients have stressed that their capacity to do so is very limited. "You can't just cut Planned Parenthood off one day and expect everyone across the city to absorb the patients," Stephanie Taylor, who oversees the state's efforts to curb sexually transmitted diseases, told the New York Times. "There needs to be time to build the capacity."

Another obstacle is the dearth of family planning clinics and doctors that accept women on Medicaid or other forms of public funding. Across the country, Planned Parenthood provides contraception to almost 40 percent of women who rely on public programs for family planning. The Times notes that four out of five Planned Parenthood patients have incomes below 150 percent of the poverty level, at a time when two-thirds of states reported difficulties ensuring there are enough health providers, especially OB-GYNs, for Medicaid patients.

On Tuesday, there was fresh evidence for what the fight to defund Planned Parenthood means for poor women. The Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive rights think tank, published an analysis of nearly 500 counties where Planned Parenthood operates clinics. In 103 of those counties, Planned Parenthood is the health care provider for every single woman who relies on public funding for contraception. In an additional 229 counties, Planned Parenthood clinics provide care for at least half of patients who rely on Medicaid.

Looks like the republican morons who are crusading to defund PP have no viable alternatives.. as expected. I mean, the thread title says it all.
Louisiana: Women don't need Planned Parenthood. They have dentists.

The task seems straightforward: Make a list of health care providers that would fill the void if Louisiana succeeded in defunding Planned Parenthood. But the state, which is fighting a court battle to strip the group of hundreds of thousands of dollars in Medicaid funds, is struggling to figure out who would provide poor women with family planning care if not Planned Parenthood.

Nowhere is this struggle more apparent than in a recent declaration by Louisiana's attorneys that there are 2,000 family planning providers ready to accommodate new patients. A federal judge, reviewing the list in an early September court hearing, found hundreds of entries for specialists such as ophthalmologists; nursing homes caregivers; dentists; ear, nose, and throat doctors; and even cosmetic surgeons.

"It strikes me as extremely odd that you have a dermatologist, an audiologist, a dentist who are billing for family planning services," said the judge, John deGravelles, who will determine in the next week whether it is legal for the state to end Planned Parenthood's Medicaid contracts. "But that is what you're representing to the court? You're telling me that they can provide family planning and related services?"


The war on women is over—and women lost. Read Mother Jones'investigation into what happened after conservatives fundamentally rewrote America's abortion laws.
His harsh questioning sent the state back to the drawing board. On Tuesday, the state's attorneys acknowledged that the dentists and other specialists didn't belong on the list. They filed apared-down version that lists just 29 health care providers.

So guano what are you planning to do with that rodent in your siggy? you know that putting it up your butt is unsanitary.

Awesome, what a brilliant post, totally relevant. Err, I have 2 rats and they're amazing animals, why would you think about putting one in your ass? It's always you homophobes who come up with that shit..

If either of your rats should become pregnant, would you take them to the vet for an abortion?

What kind of stupid question is that? First of all, it's virtually impossible to recognize if a rat pregnancy would lead to a rats death, although it's a possibility, secondly, you can't compare rats to humans.

Abortion is not Family Planning. It's the wanton murder of a family member.

The above is not a post. It's the meltdown of a madman.

You have managed to rather deftly disassociate your mind from reality.

Congratulations, you Liberal piece of fuck.

Don't worry, I have a brilliant plan. First, we ban all abortion, and then proceed to cut off all government assistance to low income women. We do everything we can to protect the fetus, oh, and don't forget not to give out free birth control! Once this women is virtually forced to have a baby, let's not forget the medical bills, she will then be told it's her fault and no one should support the child. YEEHAW BOYS IMA CUNSERVATIVE.

Was I addressing you?

Stop stalking me, you Liberal fuck.

This is MY thread, you posted in it.
