Planned Parenthood provides breast cancer screening services for poor women. By cutting off funds for Planned Parenthood, we increase the chance poor women will get breast cancer.New undercover work shows that this is not only a lie, but a damn lie.Cecile Richards, the current president of Planned Parenthood, has been all over TV talking about how Planned Parenthood provides mammograms for women and, therefore, we cannot cut off their funding. They are entitled!But a new undercover report from Live Action shows just how much of a damn lie this is.Live Action called around to Planned Parenthood offices all across the country asking if women could come in to get mammograms. All of the clinics they called, every single one, said they do not do mammograms. Not only that, they also didn&#8217;t offer to cover the cost of the mammograms. In fact, as you can see on the video, Planned Parenthood would frequently offer to refer the caller to a different entity altogether that may or may not provide mammograms.This was a widespread occurrence across the country.In other words, Congress is funding Planned Parenthood purportedly to provide mammograms and Planned Parenthood isn&#8217;t even doing that? What exactly is Planned Parenthood doing with the money other than lobbying for more money when not killing kids?You can see the video for yourself right here.]]>Wed, 30 Mar 2011 08:15:55 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2011/03/30/does-supporting-planned-parenthood-increase-the-risk-of-breast-cancer-n38479
