In 2016,\u00a0The American Feminist<\/em> published an article profiling former abortion workers. One worker, named Rhyan, worked at Planned Parenthood for four months, but quit because she became disgusted with the constant pressure put on her to sell abortions. She also saw that patients at Planned Parenthood were treated differently depending on their race.<\/p>\n

Originally hired as an appointment scheduler, she quickly discovered her real job was talking as many women into abortions as possible.\u00a0The American Feminist <\/em>article states:<\/p>\n

The sales began with the automated answering system that picked up all calls first. The pleasant, recorded voice invited callers to press one number if they wanted birth control, another for a well woman exam, and another for abortion. All abortion calls were automatically jumped to the front of the calling queue. Rhyan added that \u201cIf you were calling for birth control, you could wait 20 minutes to get a phone operator.\u201d \u201cClosing the sale\u201d on abortions was also supported by Planned Parenthood\u2019s policy of requiring callers to set an appointment prior to discussing costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Abortions were more lucrative to Planned Parenthood than visits for birth control or Pap smears. Therefore, calls from women seeking abortions were more important to scheduled and were given top priority. Women seeking birth control or actual health care services were forced to wait, when abortion calls were immediately sent to the top of the queue.<\/p>\n

\"Requests<\/a>

Requests for this procedure at Planned Parenthood were sent to the top of the queue.<\/p><\/div>\n

Planned Parenthood\u2019s focus on abortion is apparent in the statistics revealed in the video below. Planned Parenthood only does 0.97% of the nation\u2019s Pap smears. They do only 1.8% of the nation\u2019s breast exams. But they do 30.6% of the nation\u2019s abortions. Planned Parenthood does not own a single mammogram machine, and does not do mammograms.<\/p>\n
