These services included birth control, pregnancy tests, urine testing, STD testing, and more. Instead of counting patient visits, the abortion corporation <em>unbundles its services<\/em>\u00a0per visit to make it appear that abortion is just <em>one<\/em> of its many services, when in reality, it is providing <em>multiple<\/em> services to each patient who visits primarily to obtain an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>McGill Johnson implied to The Washington Post that while abortion is a small part of the abortion giant&#8217;s business (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-abortion-4-percent-services-false\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it&#8217;s not<\/a>), it <em>is<\/em> a vital one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[I]t is still a critically important part of what we do,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So I think when we say, &#8216;It&#8217;s a small part of what we do,&#8217; what we&#8217;re doing is actually stigmatizing it. Like it&#8217;s really not a big deal that Planned Parenthood does this. We are a proud abortion provider. We believe that abortion is health care, and we believe, fundamentally, that self-determination begins with being able to control your own body and freedom begins with being able to control your own body. So I don&#8217;t like to marginalize it in that way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She explained that by attempting to exclude abortion as a &#8220;critical part&#8221; of its &#8220;health care&#8221; services, Planned Parenthood is failing to show its pride in committing abortions. Tragically, she is minimizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/post-abortion-trauma-real-researchers-denying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pain<\/a> of women who have taken their children&#8217;s lives in abortion, and the pain suffered in the loss of children to miscarriage and stillbirth. In stepping further away from the &#8220;safe, legal, and rare&#8221; mantra that helped to launch legalized abortion, McGill Johnson ends up\u00a0<em>marginalizing\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/former-pro-choice-woman-speaks-out-my-abortion-was-physically-traumatizing-and-emotionally-painful\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">women<\/a>\u00a0injured emotionally and physically by abortion<\/em>, and diminishing the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/65-million-bodies-industry-disposes-aborted-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body count<\/a> of babies and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/woman-dies-after-planned-parenthood-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">women<\/a> the abortion corporation has killed.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion\u00a0is the deliberate killing of innocent human beings, largely for reasons unrelated to health issues or rape. It is not health care because it is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-replies-abortion-never-medically-necessary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">never actually medically necessary<\/a>. It is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-nothing-control-body\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not about<\/a> having control of your own body. Pregnancy doesn&#8217;t just happen. Babies aren&#8217;t created out of thin air. Women don&#8217;t need abortion to be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-never-has-been-womens-equality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">equal<\/a> to men; they are already inherently equal because of their value as human beings. Their children are denied equality through abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion really is &#8220;a big deal,&#8221; because many women who undergo abortions \u2014 including Planned Parenthood&#8217;s former clients \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/woman-abortion-pill-depression-personal-hell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suffer<\/a> from an increased risk of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, depression, and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-suicide-depression-suffer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suicide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-abortionist-abortion-moral-valid\/\">Planned Parenthood abortionist: \u2018Abortion is moral. Every reason for one is valid.\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Roe v. Wade<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McGill Johnson also trotted out the old claim that 77% of Americans support <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. This is untrue.\u00a0According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/HHP_May19_vF.pdf\">Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll<\/a>, the majority of Americans want to see <em>Roe v.

Wade<\/em> should be completely overturned and 36% believe it should be modified.\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and its sister decision <em>Doe v. Bolton<\/em>\u00a0contain broad language which allows for abortion at any point in pregnancy for any reason. The <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/polls-roe-v-wade-inaccurate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">majority<\/a> of Americans don&#8217;t realize this, and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/who-where-why-answers-late-term-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">70%<\/a> want abortion limited to the first trimester (first three months) of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pregnancy Resource Centers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>McGill Johnson also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-abortion-naral-attacking-pregnancy-centers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacked<\/a>\u00a0pro-life pregnancy resource centers and made false claims about their work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I also think that there&#8217;s a lot of disinformation on the other side,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s kind of hard to have a conversation with someone who is antiabortion who is leveraging public dollars through crisis pregnancy centers who derail and impact someone who&#8217;s made a decision to access abortion. So I\u2019m open to having a conversation. I am not open to not allowing people the freedom they need to make their own decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are two lies here. The first is that pregnancy resource centers are publicly funded like Planned Parenthood is. A 2019 Pregnancy Center Study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Pregnancy-Center-Report-2020_FINAL.pdf\">found<\/a> that at least 90% of total funding for pregnancy resource centers is raised through private donations.\u00a0Of those that do receive public funding, they are required to use it for sexual risk avoidance education, STD testing, and STD treatment. According to the Lozier study, &#8220;In 2019, just 17 percent, or 340 pregnancy center organizations (main offices), received government monies at some level through federal or state funding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>The same cannot be said for Planned Parenthood, which receives <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-taxpayer-funding-answer\/\">over half a billion<\/a> in taxpayer dollars annually.<\/p>\n<p>The second lie is that pregnancy help centers &#8220;derail&#8221; someone&#8217;s decision to have an abortion. Women visit <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/5-reasons-pregnancy-resource-centers-amazing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pregnancy resource centers<\/a> to discuss the other options available to them, besides abortion. <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/report-pregnancy-centers-funding-communities-millions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nearly two million clients<\/a>\u00a0accessed the free assistance of pregnancy centers in 2019 alone, receiving pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, material assistance including baby gear and clothing, parenting classes, prenatal classes, and referrals for more services. When these women share why they believe they need abortion \u2014 in other words, feeling they <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> have another choice \u2014 pregnancy resource centers remind them they do have options and support from others. Pregnancy center volunteers help women find housing, access higher education and childcare, and access financial assistance. Women are then <em>free<\/em> to choose life, though some will still go on to choose abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood <em>only<\/em> offer women death. People like Alexis McGill Johnson aren&#8217;t actually pro-choice; they&#8217;re pro-abortion. They want women to turn to the multi-million dollar abortion industry as the first and only &#8220;solution&#8221; to unplanned pregnancy. Pregnancy resource centers, though they receive nowhere near the funding of the largest abortion provider in the nation, take &#8220;business&#8221; away from Planned Parenthood, and that&#8217;s the real issue for McGill-Johnson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/?ref=br_rs\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a> for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, Planned Parenthood has claimed that abortion accounts for &#8220;only 3% (or 4%)&#8220;of its services, despite multiple instances of debunking.
