Too many Americans remain in the dark about Planned Parenthood, and the media is fine with it

A New Hampshire woman who happens to share the name of the current Vice President — Kamala Harris — spoke to reporters last week about the election and why she had yet to decide whether to vote for the Vice President or Donald Trump. The one issue VP Harris and her namesake appeared to agree on is abortion, including the idea that Planned Parenthood should remain open.

“I think it would be really really silly just to vote for somebody just because they have my name without doing any research, or knowing what they stand for,” Kamala Harris, a mother of three, told CBS. “Kamala supports abortion which I really like. Trump says that he supports weed which I really like.”

Yes, to some, the idea of abortion is very “likeable” — until perhaps they actually see it and learn the truth about what it is and what it does:

What seemed important for Ms. Harris was that she wanted to see politicians support Planned Parenthood.

“A lot of people don’t know Planned Parenthood, that they help low-income people with birth control, Pap smears, and mammograms,” she said. “It’s all free if you are broke, and I happened to be broke. You can’t close it down, and get rid of all the other things that it helps with, because you don’t like one thing it does.”

But when the “one thing it does” that people “don’t like” is the literal killing of innocent human beings before birth, the effort to shut it down makes perfect ethical and logical sense.

And in reality, only 2% of women of reproductive age use Planned Parenthood’s services. As Live Action News previously reported:

According to the National Vital Statics at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), just over 3.6 million women began receiving prenatal care in 2022. And less than 1% of those women received those prenatal services from Planned Parenthood. With Pap tests, the picture is the same: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 66% of women aged 18 and over had a Pap test within the past three years, and less than 1% of women received theirs at Planned Parenthood.

Pro-abortion politicians mislead women about Planned Parenthood

In addition, Planned Parenthood doesn’t provide any mammograms. However, it is the number one abortion provider in the nation — committing approximately 40% of all abortions. According to its most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood increased its abortions in 2022-2023 by 5% to 392,715 a year. That’s up 100% from its total abortions in 2000.

However, its STI testing and treatment services are down 15% since 2019, its overall cancer screenings continue to decline with Pap smears down 13.5% in a year, and preventative care visits as well as contraceptive services (including counseling and care) are down.

And the reason a lot of those services are “free,” as Harris claims, is because Planned Parenthood has received $10.7 billion from taxpayers since 2000 while it committed 7.1 million abortions.

If Planned Parenthood exists to help low-income women as Harris and others claim it does, it seems little is being done to help them diagnose or treat cancer or STDs. Instead, much of its “help” for low-income women seems to be right in line with its founder, Margaret Sanger, and her eugenic goals — hoping to curb the existence of those she considered “undesirable.”
