Is Planned Parenthood's Really In The Prenatal Care Business?

They don't do mammograms either..

Correct. They offer breast exams. They offer referrals for mammograms.

I'm going to ask the same question here that I asked in my thread in the politics forum.

 

If abortion is what makes PP objectionable to people, and if abortion is just a small percentage of services they provide why can't they stop doing them and just provide their other services? Then everybody's happy.

Because abortion service is nearly the only service they offer. No postpartum depression counseling. No prenatal services, no pap tests ,no mammograms -just referrals. Maybe they should consider a name change.

Actually, you are incorrect. I'd provide links and other info, but you wouldn't bother to read. I personally have used PP services that were NOT abortion services, over the course of my lifetime.

So why would they offer abortions and not mammograms or prenatal services?

 

Seems they may be interested in only one outcome for pregnancy and not really interested in helping women with breast cancer.

My current gynecologist does not do mammograms in their office. I go to thr hospital radiology department to have that done. My current gynecologist as does not do obstetrics. I would be referred to an OB for such services.

 

Planned Parenthood offers most of the same services one would find in a private gynecologist's office and refers patients to other services they don't provide. You can get a pregnancy test, pap smear, STD tests, birth control counseling and prescription, vaccinations....get treatment for UTIs, yeast infections, menopause, endometriosis, PCOS,

 

Do people really believe women's health care is only breast cancer and pregnancy?

 

And, PP also provides some services to men.

Not at all.

 

By not providing prenatal care, it really does appear they are only interested in one outcome for pregnancy.

 

My wife's gyno office has OB services.

 

As the husband of a 26 year RN and myself a retired Paramedic (25 years). I am very familiar with healthcare issues that face women and men both.

Some offices do, and some don't. And Planned Parenthood is women's health care and reproductive planning. As your experience must surely have taught you, it is very expensive, obstetrics as a practice. Once one becomes pregnant, it is a different care that is needed than basic woman's health and birth control. The point of PP's inception was to provide women with the ability to plan their pregnancies by providing them access to birth control options. They've never purported to be in the business of obstetrics.

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that PP is only interested in one outcome for pregnancies, that being abortion?
