Planned Parenthood Peeps like to crow about how little abortion services account for the greater good these clinics allegedly provide. Was it three percent?
It was. I remember asking a similar question when Planned Parenthood lost a court case and stopped applying for Title X funding for abortions (sorry, women’s health care services). To get money for family planning, they had to separate that from abortions, but abortions were so much more than 3% of their business it would (likely) cost more to do the separating than the family planning reimbursements were worth.
They never said it. They just stopped trying because Planned Parenthood doesn’t do a lot of family planning; they are in the family prevention business. Dr. Leana Wen let that dead cat out of the bag back in 2019 when she publicly admitted, as part of her brief tenure running that operation, that abortion was their core business because it was.
She was too honest, so they had to abort her “occupationally,” but not before she confirmed what everyone knew. These clinics end babies’ lives, and that’s how they make money. If that were not the case returning the question of abortion to the states would not have resulted in hundreds (perhaps thousands) of abortion clinics (doing business as women’s health centers) closing their doors.
There’s no other explanation.
There is no shortage of women, and the Abortion-Left culture war has been adding to their numbers. Something with which Planned Parenthood is helping. They are making more “women” that will need prostate cancer screenings – referred by “women’s health care clinics” that care about the health of “women” and not just making money by performing abortions – because the new women won’t need that service.
And clinics keep closing, which is odd, and not just despite the more “women” math. The COVID-19 vaccines had a significant impact on reproductive freedom. Abortificents doing business as flu vaccines will do that. It was so bad I once jested that Planned Parenthood should sue Pfizer.
One of the if not early, then alarming reports to surface after the Jabbernauts began the ‘needle-in-every-arm’ crusade was a rise in miscarriages. Pregnant women were losing babies almost as fast as if they’d taken that horse medicine (Misoprostol) feminists ranted about after SCOTUS un-penumbra’d Roe. v. Wade.
It’s a public health crisis. I’m surprised we’ve not heard more about it.
