ORIGINAL: Lucylastic prove it fido, go ahead, prove it, you cant, and havent, ever. Planned Parenthood Federation of America claims that the 665 clinics run by its affiliates[1] provide a “wide range” of health care as justification for taxpayers providing more than 40 percent of their funding, and that abortion is a small proportion of their services.[2] Yet, data show that Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the country’s largest abortion provider with affiliates performing more than 300,000 abortions per year, which amounts to approximately one out of every three in the country.[3] Data may show that it is the biggest abortion provider...that doesnt mean anything beyond the fact that abortion has been banned from most other providers It certainly doesnt mean that PP only does abortion, 300,000 compared to 10 million other services in a year it provides... How Does Planned Parenthood Calculate Its Claims About Its Abortion Services? Although Planned Parenthood Federation of America reportedly requires all affiliates to have at least one clinic that performs abortions,[4] Planned Parenthood’s annual report does not identify the number of affiliated clinics that provide abortion services or how much of Planned Parenthood’s total revenue results from abortions. Instead, the report claims that abortions account for only 3 percent of the medical services Planned Parenthood affiliates provide.[5] Then the rules about their annual report should be changed? Plus...medicaid reimbursements for PP cover a multitude of sins. How does the Planned Parenthood annual report arrive at the 3 percent figure? The calculation counts each “discrete clinical interaction” as a separate “medical service,” meaning simple tests or routine provision of birth control are given the same weight as surgical or chemical abortions.[6] For example, if a woman in the course of a year receives a free condom, a pregnancy test, a sexually transmitted infection (STI) test, and an abortion, Planned Parenthood would say abortion was only 25 percent of the services provided. Chemical abortions are done with medication called methotrexate and misoprostol., it comes in tablet form, Not surgical, and it is not available to women over seven weeks. It doesnt need a surgical unit, it can be done in a docs office. Doctors routinely use multiple tests for patients. They still perform more services of other kinds. Even with Planned Parenthood’s broad definition of “medical service,” data reported in the organization’s annual report suggest that roughly 12 percent of people who received a service from Planned Parenthood affiliates received an abortion during the reporting year.[7] Despite a nearly 20 percent decline in the number of abortions in the country between 2000 and 2011,[8] the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performed during that time increased from 197,070 to 333,964, thereby more than doubling its share of the abortion market from 15 percent in 2000 to 32 percent in 2011,[9] the latest year for which national data are available. Planned Parenthood affiliates perform about 20 abortions for every prenatal care visit and about 200 abortions for every adoption referral based on the approximately 300,000 abortions they perform each year.[10] Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Government Subsidies Combined federal, state, and local government funding has increased from $203 million (30 percent of Planned Parenthood’s consolidated revenue) during its fiscal year 2000–2001 to $528 million (41 percent of revenue) during 2013–2014.[11] Planned Parenthood’s annual report does not provide a breakdown of federal versus state funding or the exact government grants, contracts, and reimbursements it receives. A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis released in September 2015, however, shows that the organization’s affiliates received approximately $60 million of taxpayer money under Title X of the Public Health Services Act, and $390 million through federal payments under Medicaid in 2013.[12] The federal government generally provides reimbursement for 90 percent of the cost of “family planning services” and products covered under Medicaid, while states provide the remaining 10 percent.[13] I notice there is no link in there, now, are you going to show it, and the backup info, or are you simply trying to prove that Brent is right, cos you did neither. question how many clinics have shut since 2010??? not just PP but other healthcare providers?? shutting clinics, is not stopping women getting pregnant. OR stopping the options a women has.
