Prager U: What You Need to Know About Planned Parenthood

A video from Prager U:

What does Planned Parenthood really do? What do they actually stand for? President and founder of Live Action, Lila Rose, lays out everything you need to know about Planned Parenthood.

Imagine there’s an organization that claims to stand for one thing, but actually stands for another.

Imagine this organization calls itself a “health care provider,” but it’s not involved in preserving life; it’s involved in ending it.

And imagine that you help finance this organization – whether you want to or not.

Well, you don’t have to imagine. This organization exists. And it has a name with which you are very familiar. It calls itself “Planned Parenthood,” and the deception begins right there. Planned Parenthood doesn’t help people plan for parenthood; it helps people escape it.

And that’s only the start of its deceptions.

Planned Parenthood tells you it’s one of the nation’s “leading women’s health care providers,” but it provides very little healthcare.

It tells you it provides adoption referrals, but the only adoption advice it is likely to offer is, “Google it.”

Most deceptive of all, Planned Parenthood tells you that abortions are a small part of what it does, but it performs more abortions than anyone else in America.

Here are the facts.

The folks who run Planned Parenthood boast that they provide life-saving cancer screenings. And they do. Just not that many of them – less than 2% of the nation’s screenings each year.

They talk about providing breast exams. They do, but just not that many of them—again, less 2% of the nation’s total.

They talk about providing ultrasounds, but the last thing they want to do is show a pregnant woman an image of her growing child. So, they don’t. The ultrasound is only for Planned Parenthood’s use—to better facilitate patients’ abortions.

In other words, abortion – not women’s health – is Planned Parenthood’s reason for being.
