Planned Parenthood should be defunded. Despite all its scandals over the years, the pro-abortion mainstream media has largely kept the evidence of this from taxpayers. Perhaps it’s because the media approves of Planned Parenthood’s agenda, and the agenda of the politicians<\/a> who defend the organization.<\/p>\n

The media manipulates the American public by refusing to tell the truth about\u00a0Planned Parenthood’s abuses<\/a>, a fact Live Action News previously\u00a0documented<\/a>. Instead, the media repeats Planned Parenthood’s PR-approved talking points while failing to\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0important\u00a0investigations<\/a>\u00a0exposing Planned Parenthood’s lies and deceptions.<\/p>\n

Here are some facts about Planned Parenthood that mainstream media has failed to report:<\/p>\n

Fact #1:<\/strong>\u00a0Planned Parenthood is a private corporation whose political action committee contributes heavily to the same politicians<\/a>\u00a0sending them millions of dollars each year — over half a billion annually.\u00a0PP is a master manipulator and marketer politically and this drives the dollars politicians send them. Planned Parenthood’s CEO, Cecile Richards, was not hired for her health care “experience” but for her political savvy, as\u00a0Live Action News’ Rebecca Downs has explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood may claim to be a health organization, but Richards herself has no health experience \u2014 her background is in politics, a background which even the Planned Parenthood website emphasizes. In addition to running Planned Parenthood, she also runs Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which is \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 a political organization. After Richards spoke before Congress in September 2015, the Oversight Committee expressed concerns that there was an overlap in where Planned Parenthood\u2019s taxpayer money was going. Are Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood Action Fund really so different?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
