Planned Parenthood doesn't do Mammograms

More bullshit from Obama's mouth

Obama: Women 'Rely' on Planned Parenthood for Mammograms; FDA: No They Don't

President Barack Obama said during the second presidential debate against his Republican opponent Mitt Romney that women "rely" on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, but, according to the Food and Drug Administration, no Planned Parenthood facility in the United States is license to do mammograms.

During Tuesday night’s debate against his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Obama said, “When Gov. Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, there are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for not just contraceptive care; they rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings. That’s a pocketbook issue for women and families all across the country, and it makes a difference in terms of how well and effectively women are able to work.”

Last June, the Department of Health and Human Services said in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that no Planned Parenthood clinic in the United States has mammogram equipment

According to its latest annual report, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) received $487.4 million in tax dollars over a twelve-month period and performed 329,455 abortions.


In addition, the number of adoption referrals made by the organization continued to decline.

The latest annual report covers the period from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010, the PPFA’s fiscal year. The report states that the organization received “government health services grants and reimbursements” totaling $487.4 million.

Previous Planned Parenthood annual reports showed total funding from “government grants and contracts” (which were $363.2 million in 2009), while this year’s report also accounts for payments from Medicaid managed care plans among the payments the group receives from government .

Planned Parenthood’s Action Fund plans to spend more than $3 million in Ohio and Virginia against Mitt Romney in the wake of his pledge to “get rid” of the women’s health advocacy group.

The group is one of several liberal-leaning women’s organizations planning to spend millions of dollars in crucial election states to swing undecided female voters toward President Obama.

Still. 24 hours and counting. The asylum staff is threatening to quit.

My friend uses PP exclusively, and gets referred from there to have a mammogram.

So, in fact, the President is correct, many women do rely on PP for mammograms, even if it is the case that they don't perform those themselves.

There would be no purpose in doing so, other than to satisfy your partisan hackery.

The purpose would be no tax payer money to fund help them..or as Romney wants we should just cut off that money

Exactly as I said, no reason other than your partisan hackery.

If PP is so valuable, there is no reason why they cannot exist as a charity with all the liberals making generous donations to the cause.

They probably could live without government assistance.

They probably could live without government assistance.

They probably could, though on the other hand they would probably not be able to provide services to as many people. But that really doesn't address why they should stop providing abortion services and create a separate entity just for that purpose.

Oh, the whole "they should make a separate entity who only perform abortions" is just silly. Not really worth even mentioning.

I think it's mostly based on the false assumption that PP secretly spends tax dollars on abortions. The whole "PP is the devil" meme is a classic, always fun when KG brings it up.

As to the providing to less people. It might, though it might boost donations to the organization too.

If the Susan Komen fiasco earlier this year is any indication, you very well could be right.

The claim that PP provides certain services was shown to be a lie a few years ago. What amazes me is that they take millions of tax payer dollars each year, don't provide shit, they make millions each year and donate to the Dems. Sounds like a money laundering operation to me. It's also been shown, on video, that they facilitate abortions for minors, even victims of statutory rape. They assist prostitutes and pimps by giving suggestions how to run their business.

PP doesn't even do the actual abortions. What do they really do? And why are they worth a penny of our money?

Yes..if you trust Lila Rose and her cleverly edited videos.

Planned Parenthood provides breast cancer screenings and referrals for mammograms as well as assistance if finding funds and/or insurance assistance for mommograms. They play a vital role in women being able to get the mammograms so in a sense, yes they do provide mammograms.
