He previously served as surgeon general from 2014 to 2017 during the Obama administration, and is also a vice admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, and received his MD from the Yale School of Medicine. But his distinguished background doesn&#8217;t make up for the pro-life movement&#8217;s concerns about his ties to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.<\/p>\n<p>Murthy, who was sworn in today by the similarly-controversial <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/senate-confirms-pro-abortion-becerra-hhs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Xavier Becerra<\/a>, has a long history with Planned Parenthood.

And the truth is, a lot of women around the country looked at Planned Parenthood as an important source of primary care services. The debate is focused a lot on a narrow spectrum of services, but the truth is, many women get their \u2014 they get basic health care and preventative care from Planned Parenthood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Murthy says we should set ideology aside and focus on the facts, his answer is actually nothing more than a common Planned Parenthood talking point. The idea of abortion being part of a &#8220;narrow spectrum of services&#8221; is commonly touted by Planned Parenthood, and just as commonly debunked \u2014\u00a0including by the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/washington-post-3-pinocchios-planned-parenthoods-3-percent-figure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Post<\/a>, which issued a &#8220;three Pinocchios&#8221; rating to the corporation&#8217;s frequently parroted claim that abortion comprised just &#8220;3% of [Planned Parenthood&#8217;s] services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-docs-abortion-healthcare\/\">Pro-life doctors take on pro-abortion medical org: \u2018Abortion is NOT healthcare\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reality is that Planned Parenthood is <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-actually-not-premier-health-care-provider-american-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not a widespread health care provider<\/a> upon which women rely; it serves\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/women-dont-need-planned-parenthood-abortion-giant-serves-small-percentage-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a small percentage of women<\/a>, has <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/mammosham-watch-the-viral-video-exposing-planned-parenthood-false-mammogram-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lied about the services it provides<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/new-video-debunks-planned-parenthoods-3-percent-abortion-myth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statistics show<\/a> it performs less than 2% of all cancer screenings, less than 1% of all pap exams, and less than 2% of all breast exams. This information can be easily found simply by looking at the abortion corporation&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-prenatal-care-plummeted-abortions-skyrocketed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">annual reports<\/a>, which show that <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/latest-planned-parenthood-report-abortions-dollars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">year<\/a> after <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-more-abortion-less-healthcare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">year<\/a>, the corporation&#8217;s health care services have been plummeting, while its abortion numbers are increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood even fired its previous president \u2014 Leana Wen, praised by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vivek_murthy\/status\/1151231963048624128?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Murthy himself<\/a> \u2014 for trying to make actual health care <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/former-planned-parenthood-prez-fired-make-health-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a higher priority<\/a>\u00a0there than abortion. This is not an organization dedicated to providing health care to the masses \u2014 and abortion, in which a human being is deliberately killed, is not health care. Yet Murthy was all too happy to echo the corporation&#8217;s false rhetorical claims while stating that public policy should be based on science instead of ideology. This is likely why Planned Parenthood <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/about-us\/newsroom\/press-releases\/planned-parenthood-federation-of-america-applauds-president-elect-bidens-choices-to-lead-hhs-amp-covid-19-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">publicly applauded<\/a> his nomination, noting, &#8220;He has proudly declared that access to abortion and birth control are essential components of health care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Vivek Murthy is, without a doubt, an intelligent man who has dedicated his life to public service, and may well be a fine doctor. But his statements on Planned Parenthood also make it clear that he is willing to ignore the facts if it interferes with ideology, and that is a dangerous trait in someone meant to be America&#8217;s doctor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more pro-life news and commentary!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivek Murthy, whose nomination for the office of surgeon general was just confirmed by the Senate, has an impressive background.
