No matter what the nation’s number one abortion provider claims, Planned Parenthood is not wholeheartedly in the fight against cervical cancer. The abortion corporation<\/a>\u00a0continuously promotes its facilities as necessary health care centers for women, claiming that it provides cancer screenings that underprivileged women can’t get anywhere else. This, however, isn’t true. It’s a lie that has been spread to the public by mainstream media outlets — and unfortunately, it has been repeated so often that many Americans believe it. The truth, however, can be found in Planned Parenthood’s latest 2018-2019 annual report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the report,\u00a0the number of Pap tests Planned Parenthood provided to women declined nearly seven percent in 2018 from the previous year. Since 2004, the total number of Pap tests performed by Planned Parenthood has dropped an astounding 78.4 percent<\/strong>. In 2004, over 1,183,692 million Pap tests were done at Planned Parenthood locations nationwide, but by 2018, that number had dropped to just 255,682<\/em>. The overall national decline in Pap tests accounts for only a small fraction of this enormous decline throughout Planned Parenthood’s facilities. Previous Live Action News reports have noted that Planned Parenthood provides<\/a>\u00a0less than one percent of the nation\u2019s Pap tests and less than two percent of the nation\u2019s breast exams.<\/p>\n
