<\/div>

With a new president at the helm, Planned Parenthood \u2013 the largest abortion corporation in the United States \u2013 is sticking to its old talking points. Unfortunately for American women and American families, these talking points are still just as deceiving as ever. Let\u2019s contrast a handful of Dr. Leana Wen\u2019s convenient statements during her recent interview with CBS<\/a> with the facts. Women deserve the whole story.<\/p>\n

Wen\u2019s Claim:<\/b> \u201cWe deliver life-saving care to 2.5 million people every year.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

FACTS: <\/b>Wen can hardly be genuine in her claim that all 2.5 million of Planned Parenthood\u2019s annual patients get \u201clife-saving\u201d care. A look at the abortion corporation\u2019s own reports shows that a good number of the 2.5 million people come in for birth control, condoms, and pregnancy tests \u2013 none of which qualify as \u201clife-saving care.\u201d That\u2019s more in the vein of operations and emergency room work. Cancer screenings (which, under the organization’s previous president, plummeted)? Sure. Even STD tests could qualify. But the fact that Wen greatly stretches the facts here, claiming that every single person who comes to Planned Parenthood is given \u201clife-saving care\u201d is flatly wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n

She also fails painfully here as she skips over the 320,000<\/a> children who are dismembered and poisoned annually at the organization’s facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n
