The Inappropriately Named Planned "Parenthood"
#1
Here is a Democrat who gets it.  Margret Sanger, founder of PP, was a prolific racist and her STATED purpose for the organization was the extermination of the black race.  But y'all can defend it if you want....

Quote:5 Planned Parenthood services that aren't the least bit controversial

For some people, when they hear the name Planned Parenthood, the first thing that comes to mind is abortion. But that's not all Planned Parenthood does.


Every few years or so, in their fight against reproductive rights, activists refocus on Planned Parenthood as enemy #1. People who are against abortion hold it up as the representation of all that is wrong with America: "An entire medical practice set up to give women abortions! They must be stopped!" But what most of them don't admit is this really important fact:

Only a measly 3% of their Planned Parenthood services are actually abortion-related.

Do they know that? Did you know that? Well, in an effort to combat the "big bad abortion wolf" narrative, here are five facts you should know about what Planned Parenthood really does:

1. In 2013, Planned Parenthood performed half a million breast exams.

[Image: exam-743fc5e3d3940a1723762f332117bdc4.jpg]

Breast exams are crucial for early cancer detection. Not only does Planned Parenthood offer affordable exams, they make sure patients know how to do self-exams between screenings.

2. In 2013, Planned Parenthood performed 400,000 pap tests.

While the pap smear won't tell you if you have cervical cancer, it can detect pre-cancerous cells. Basically, if there's anything sketchy going on in your cervix, the pap smear tells your doctor so you can figure out the best way to handle it. For people who don't have insurance or need more affordable health care options, Planned Parenthood is their first stop for preventive and reproductive health care like pap smears.

3. Planned Parenthood helps prevent over half a million pregnancies every year.

If you're not ready for parenthood but abstinence isn't your style, safe sex is your best bet. Luckily, Planned Parenthood offers free and affordable birth-control options like the pill, the patch, IUDs, and condoms — in addition to emergency contraception like Plan B. And while some people have incorrectly dubbed Plan B an "abortion pill," it actually just prevents conception — it doesn't terminate pregnancy. Think of Plan B as as a soccer goalie who goes in and blocks the sperm from ever getting to the egg. Yay sports analogies!

No pregnancy for me, thank you!

4. In 2013, Planned Parenthood provided nearly 4.5 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

When we talk about safe sex, pregnancy prevention is often the main focus, as if that's the only consequence of doing the deed. But sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are something we all have to consider. Condoms are a great way to prevent STIs, but sadly they don't always get the job done. That's why it's great that Planned Parenthood offers affordable STI testing and treatment options. More people who are aware of their STI status and get treatment means more happy and healthy sexual partners to go around. That's pretty much a win for everyone.

5. Planned Parenthood encourages patients to explore all their options, not just abortion. That includes adoption and parenthood.

[Image: small-437722d5755c93402083af827143eba9.jpg]

While abortion is one way to deal with an unplanned pregnancy, that doesn't mean it's the right choice for everyone. Planned Parenthood is about helping teens and adults make smart and healthy choices, not forcing people into doing things they aren't comfortable with.

When it comes to dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, adoption and parenthood are worth considering too. Whether it's online or in person, Planned Parenthood helps women who are considering all options, including adoption or parenthood.

There are millions of people who rely on Planned Parenthood for all kinds of important health care services.
Whether you're pro-life or pro-choice, I hope we can all agree to be pro-health. Right now, anti-abortion activists are pushing to defund Planned Parenthood, which would keep people from accessing health care like cancer screenings, HIV tests, and more.

Some Republican can't deal with today's issues and or talk honestly about who supports what. That is why they reach into the past to try and discredit democrats. For example: Everyone knows that southern democrats more than half a century ago were extremely pro segregation. In fact, they were so pro segregation that when blacks started being treated better and the ideas of civil rights became popular, they left the democrat party and became Republicans. They are is still there today. Listen to today's Republicans. They are anti abortion, but as soon as some unwed woman has the baby they call her a welfare whore and want to cut off all aid go these moms. They are fucking scumbags and that is a fact.

Quote:It is true in a literal sense that Planned Parenthood health centers do not themselves conduct mammograms (a procedure which requires specialized equipment and expertise to use it). Planned Parenthood offers comprehensive breast health care management, which includes manual breast exams as well as patient education on breast health. That care management program includes providing women with information about mammograms, referring them to health centers where they can obtain mammograms, and assisting them in covering the costs of the procedure by referring them to government programs that provide free mammograms or by using grant funds to reimburse the medical providers who perform the mammograms.

Your post, #1, verbatim, 1. In 2013, Planned Parenthood performed half a million breast exams.


Is a LIE.  NOT ONE PERSON AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD PERFORMED A SINGLE BREAST EXAM.  Not one.








They WILL however, perform abortions ALL DAY LONG.

About the percentage of black or white women in ANY given county, there are far too many variables to suggest it is a race issue, especially the ludicrous charge that it's an attempt to reduce the black population. 

There is some question about Margaret Sanger's views about race. We have to remember the age in which she lived and her social standing in seeing the less educated as far less accountable for the responsiblities of restricting the size of families and the difficulty of supporting them. 

But her life and background has little to do with the issue of using body parts of a fetus not yet matured to a human being. 

From Wiki:

  Sanger's writings echoed her ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races. In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she references popular opinion that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."[80] Elsewhere she bemoaned that traditional sexual ethics "... have in the past revealed their woeful inability to prevent the sexual and racial chaos into which the world has today drifted."[104]

Such attitudes did not keep her from collaborating with African-American leaders and professionals who saw a need for birth control in their communities. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[107] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with black doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of black doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and in black churches, and it received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP.[108] Sanger did not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor would she tolerate any refusal to work within interracial projects.[109] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[110]
From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role—alongside Mary Laskerand Clarence Gamble—in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor black people.[111] Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." While New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project, argues that in writing that letter, "Sanger recognized that elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow South;"[112] Angela Davis uses the quote to support claims that Sanger intended to exterminate the black population.[113]


                                        ***********************************************************************************

We can agree to disagree about Margaret Sanger's racial views, but looking back at her history and her dedication to the rights of women to control the size of their families (and in doing so control the condition of the families better living conditions) it's hard to understand why we could possible condemn her vision and influence in making millions of lives better. Birth control is fast becoming a world wide practice and can only be seen as a positive thing.

I was there on two different occasions, and not once did they even mention adoption. I ended up taking the young ladies to Birthright afterwards. Luckily, I was there to help. Two families that were unable to conceive now have children, no thanks to PP.

The Jesus referred to was our RVF Jesus. You can read his posts as Yeshuah Hamashiach 
 but He [Image: icon_rvf_biggrin.gif]  also used the moniker Jesus and Pastor Clyde here also.

Is there a chance you may be missing the point?

It's wonderful that two babies born because of failed planning and maybe irresponsible behavior have homes. Bless those who are willing to take these young lives and guide them through the years until adulthood. 

But wouldn't it be better to have prevented the unwanted births? And for many, the option of aborting the fetus early on is a solution many find acceptable and does not place a burden on those who agree to guide those lives for the many years necessary.

Is there a chance you are missing my point? I was pointing out that the #5 statement was untrue, and backed it up with two personal experiences. I spoke nothing about birth control as a whole...birth control, when used responsibly, is a wonderful thing.

Yes, PLANNED PARENTHOOD would by it's very definition not be an "adoption agency". There are plenty of them scattered across the country for those who believe it's best to bring an unwanted person into the world than to terminate the growth of a fetus not yet a person. 
So, why would a pregnent woman want the council of Planned Parenthood if she is certain she wants to allow the fetus to grow to full term and give birth? 
The Catholic Church (for instance) can help with adoptions. No need for PP to offer this service. Women DO have the choice. And, they have the choice of which agency or facility they want to assist them.

You backed it up with your own anecdotal evidence of what one planned parenthood worker didn't say in one city in one state in our country.
From that we are to believe out of all the other states and tens of thousands of cities that PPH NEVER encourages Patients to explore other options other than divorce?
