Why would Planned Parenthood promote an ad featuring a woman who kept her baby?

Planned Parenthood is facing the very real possibility of losing their taxpayer funding, with both the presidency and Congress currently held by pro-life politicians. So their marketing machine has gone into overdrive, as if they are anxious to prove their worth to the American public beyond being the nation’s largest abortion provider. Case in point: an ad released last week, featuring a woman, named Adeline, thanking Planned Parenthood for letting her keep her baby.

Considering that 9 out of 10 pregnant women who walk into Planned Parenthood get an abortion, it’s odd — to say the very least — that this is the story they wanted to feature. Unless, of course, they’re frantically trying to reassure people that abortion is not all they have to offer. Strangely, it’s actually the shorter version of an ad they ran last year, making it even stranger that they would suddenly reissue an edited version of the ad.

While it’s nice to hear that someone had such a positive experience at Planned Parenthood, as Live Action News pointed out when the original ad aired, not everyone can say the same:

Many women have reported that at Planned Parenthood they have been coerced and have received deceptive counseling. And as Live Action’s newest investigation shows, women who do choose to keep their babies can’t count on help from Planned Parenthood.

In the first undercover video of Abortion Corporation, investigators contacted 97 Planned Parenthood facilities around the country. Only five of them provided prenatal care. Several of the workers laughed about how their name is “deceptive.” Yet Planned Parenthood continually boasts about how prenatal care is one of the many vital services they provide to women in need.

The Prenatal Care Deception

It didn’t take long for Planned Parenthood to respond to the video. Planned Parenthood claims prenatal care is one of the vital health care services that American women “rely” on their organization for. But this is a lie. After the release of Live Action’s video, women around the country called their local Planned Parenthood facilities only to discover for themselves that the overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood facilities do not provide prenatal care.

That Adeline was able to keep her baby due to the kindness of one Planned Parenthood abortionist is a good thing. But for Planned Parenthood to use her story as some kind of tool to make themselves look better is distasteful, at the absolute least.

Planned Parenthood does not help women in crisis pregnancies who want to keep their babies, yet they’re happy to use a baby as a prop in their marketing blitz.
