No, I do not.Planned Parenthood traces its founding back to 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened up the country’s first birth control clinic.[1][1][1][1]Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist.[2][2][2][2]Eugenics was a movement started in the mid 1800s by John Galton, a relative of Charles Darwin. Eugenicists argued that there were certain desirable and undesirable traits in humans that were biologically hardwired. Among the undesirable traits were poverty, promiscuity, dwarfism, and criminality.[3][3][3][3]While the British eugenicists focused on selectively breeding in desirable traits (like we do with dogs), American eugenicists cared more about breeding out undesirable ones. These traits were more commonly found in poor, under educated, and minority communities. Laws were passed that forced the sterilization of the mentally disabled, and policies were enacted to prevent these undesirables from reproducing.[4][4][4][4]Sanger argued, in a paper written for Birth Control Review in 1921, that many of societies racial and social problems could be solved through eugenics. Most importantly, she wrote this statement in that paper:[5][5][5][5]In the limited space of the present paper, I have time only to touch upon some of the fundamental convictions that form the basis of our Birth Control propaganda, and which, as I think you must agree, indicate that the campaign for Birth Control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal, with the final aims of Eugenics.In other words, birth control is the best way to perfect the human race.Later on, we see this paragraph (emphasis mine):[6][6][6][6]As an advocate of Birth Control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the "unfit" and the "fit", admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and physically fit though less fertile parents of the educated and well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.I believe these statements are morally repugnant.What Sanger essentially argues is that we need to use her invention to get rid of those who we deem “unfit” for society. And while Planned Parenthood has a document where they attempt to debunk the claims that she is racist, they interestingly include a quote where she seemingly defends the use of abortion for racist means (emphasis mine):[7][7][7][7]Eugenists [sic] imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother. … Only upon a free, self-determining motherhood can rest any unshakable structure of racial betterment (Sanger, 1919a).If Margaret Sanger wasn’t a racist, as Planned Parenthood and their defenders claim, then she would have never even mentioned that we can use her work as a way to achieve racial betterment. Racial betterment would not be important to a non-racist.Even if we take the claim that Sanger wasn’t racist on its face, there is no evidence to counter her apparent targeting of the disabled.Not only has Sanger made countless morally questionable statements regarding the disabled, but Planned Parenthood and their defenders readily admit that Sanger held unsavory views regarding the “unfit” members of society.[8][8][8][8][9][9][9][9]Planned Parenthood, in their document defending Sanger, claim that, even though Sanger was at best an ableist and at worst a racist, Planned Parenthood does not hold those values today.[10][10][10][10] I answer that it is the very people who work for and defend Planned Parenthood who use the statements of a group's founder to point to the irredeemable racism, sexism, ableism, etc. of a particular group.[11][11][11][11][12][12][12][12][13][13][13][13][14][14][14][14][15][15][15][15][16][16][16][16][17][17][17][17] If all of the footnoted articles are correct that the things they talk about are irredeemably racist and sexist, then Planned Parenthood should be treated the same way.Even if we take the most generous route here and say that Planned Parenthood can change, it is clear that they haven’t.We have incontrovertible proof of Planned Parenthood’s bias towards the disabled, so let’s analyze that.There are large numbers of women who would abort their child if that child were diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome solely because that child has Down’s Syndrome.[18][18][18][18] Planned Parenthood also takes this view.[19][19][19][19] If Planned Parenthood didn't target the disabled, then they wouldn’t openly oppose a policy designed to save the disabled unborn.My opponents usually argue that Planned Parenthood offers wonderful services to the poor that don’t involve abortion.They don’t. Planned Parenthood provides abortions more than 3% of the time, as their supporters claim. While patients who go to a Planned Parenthood don’t exclusively receive abortions, it is an integral part of what they do. Furthermore, patients at Planned Parenthood receive multiple “services” at once, just so Planned Parenthood can claim that they do good work.[20][20][20][20]And when patients do receive the other “services,” it is usually substandard due to their need to be politically correct.Steven Crowder dressed as a woman and went to a Planned Parenthood, where he brought a positive pregnancy test. Crowder claimed to have been “misgendered at birth.”[21][21][21][21]If the nurse practitioner had been treating Crowder responsibly, she would have probed harder to figure out what Crowder was actually born as (male or female) and then refer him to get testicular cancer screening. This is because some men with testicular cancer will test positive on a pregnancy test.[22][22][22][22]This didn’t happen.[23][23][23][23]Snopes writes that not all men with testicular cancer test positive, and positive results can indicate other conditions.[24][24][24][24] Even though this is the case, it is still medically advisable to refer out a patient like Crowder because there are several conditions that can be spotted this way. It’s also better to get checked and be healthy than ignore a problem and have cancer.You can easily write that off as just one bad experience, but that wouldn’t be true.This is a policy of Planned Parenthood.[25][25][25][25] That nurse practitioner followed Planned Parenthood protocol by doing what she did. If that is the case, then you can’t write it off as a one off incident. Instead, you have to view this as an example of a systemic problem.Furthermore, Planned Parenthood has made it clear that it only cares about providing abortions.The federal government issued a new rule that family planning clinics are not allowed to use federal funds to provide abortion-related services. Planned Parenthood dropped the federal funding solely because of the abortion rules.[26][26][26][26]Federal funding is huge for an organization like Planned Parenthood. The millions of dollars they receive a year can pay for a lot of mammograms and STI testing. Instead of using the money for all of its other services, they stopped using the funding altogether.[27][27][27][27] It would rather go broke than not provide abortions.Planned Parenthood is a group who's primary mission is to expand the practice of abortion, and provides substandard healthcare.I disagree with a group who has that as its primary mission.Protecting the Defenseless - The Lifeguard InitiativeRelaxed.

No, not at every Planned Parenthood. Only at the ones they think they will get news coverage for.I have been going to Planned Parenthood for my yearly exams for over 3 decades. The only Planned Parenthood that is regularly picketed is the one by the college campus.I use it as a landmark for my shopping. Using landmarks as directions. And that is a fucking shame.Yes, they are out there every weekend while college is in session, blocking access to the entire shopping center with their offensive posters.I have no idea if they assault the women going to that center. That’s not the one I go to because they don’t have my records and they fucked up my prescription the one time I visited them.But I kinda want to visit them on a weekend (apparently that’s the only time all these protesters have free as they are not there during the regular work week).Only because I’m not pregnant and don’t need an abortion. Which this location does not do (protesters don’t seem to do their homework). However, every location I have visited has bullet-proof glass and requires ID to even sign in for your scheduled appointment.So yes, there are protesters that fuck with all businesses located remotely close to a Planned Parenthood, even if that location does not provide abortions.And yes, they offend all passersby with their propaganda. Even if the passersby aren’t going to that location.So while you think the movies and TV exaggerate what happens, I can testify that it really does happen. So often that I can plan my trips around the corner where there are protesters.EDIT: I stand corrected. The continually picketed location does provide abortion services. So yes, sometimes even people who defend Planned Parenthood don’t do their homework before shooting off their mouths. However, I still stand behind the idea that it is wrong to block or intimidate someone who is trying to do something that is legal.

It’s an absolute and total lie people use to defame medical providers and incite violence against them.“Post-term abortion” is a nonsense word. People mean infanticide, which is very illegal in all 50 states. When someone says “post-term abortion,” they are trying to make you believe that the parents who have decided to carry a healthy child to full term, the doctor who has delivered this health baby, and the nurses and other medical professionals caring for this child all regularly decide they are just fine casually killing infants. This is a crude propaganda effort intended to make you equate “abortion” with child homicide.Try this: ask someone who uses this term to provide evidence of such a “procedure” happening. Hospitals have a lot of paperwork, this should be easy. I’ll vote Republican if anyone can find a piece of paperwork from Planned Parenthood that says “post-term abortion.”People who use this term are lying to you and aren’t that good at it. If they are unable to provide any proof (which, surprise, they will not be able to), you can safely ignore them.
