(LifeSiteNews) Several Planned Parenthood facilities across Pennsylvania advertise pregnancy services online that they do not actually provide, according to a new report.

On July 30, the Pennsylvania Family Institute published its findings from a review of Planned Parenthood locations across the Commonwealth. It found the websites of eight locations specifically advertised as “Prenatal and Postpartum Services.” But the call centers for Planned Parenthood Keystone and Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania confirmed none of the locations in question offer any such prenatal care.

“We called their facilities directly. Contrary to their advertising, not one Planned Parenthood in PA offers prenatal services. Zero,” PA Family chief strategist Dan Bartkowiak said.

“This isn’t the first time Planned Parenthood has been caught misleading the public in this way,” PA Family said. “In 2017, Pennsylvania Family Institute exposed that all 27 Planned Parenthood locations in the state were listing prenatal care as a service online despite none actually offering it. Following the exposure and media attention in 2017, Planned Parenthood quietly removed the listings from their appointment pages. However, now eight years later, they appear to be back.”

The misrepresentation echoes false claims Pennsylvania Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro has made in defense of the abortion giant, which is currently in court to try to stop the federal government from cutting off its federal funding.

Last year, Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report revealed that its affiliates across the nation took in $699.3 million in government “health services” reimbursements and grants, accounting for 39 percent of its total revenue during that period. At the same time, the abortion chain committed 392,715 abortions – yet non-abortion procedures, such as pap tests and cancer screenings continued to decline as percentages of its overall business.

Evidence indicates that so-called “telehealth” abortions have helped sustain the industry after Roe v. Wade by mailing abortion pills across state lines to be taken in private, but they cannot fully cancel out the deterrent effect of making surgical abortions harder to obtain.
