Editor’s Note: This article was first published by Alliance Defending Freedom<\/a> on March 20, 2013 and is reprinted with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood has been caught RED-HANDED denying millions of women access to contraception, refusing them permission to use birth control, and controlling their reproductive choices.<\/p>\n

What? You thought Planned Parenthood GAVE AWAY, rather than denied access to, abortion pills and birth control?\u00a0 You must not have heard Planned Parenthood\u2019s new definition of \u201cdenying access.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood rakes in over a billion dollars every year.\u00a0 It charges money for contraception\u2014big money\u2014pocketing hundreds of millions in contraception cash from women and taxpayers.<\/p>\n

But Planned Parenthood blasts PEOPLE OF FAITH WHO oppose ObamaCare\u2019s ABORTION PILL MANDATE.\u00a0 Those families have done nothing but ask courts for freedom from ObamaCare\u2019s coercive mandate which forces them to pay for other people\u2019s abortion-pills, sterilizations and birth control in violation of their religious beliefs. These people of faith do not want to be in the business of handing out free abortion pills and birth control.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood\u2019s recent Facebook ad insists that for that reason alone, these religious families are not EXERCISING THEIR FAITH BELIEFS, but rather are acting to \u201cblock\u201d women\u2019s \u201caccess to birth control coverage,\u201d refusing to give women \u201cpermission to use birth control,\u201d and \u201ccontrol[ling] the health care choices\u201d of women.<\/p>\n

All because religious families are asking that they not BE MANDATED to pay for these ABORTION-INDUCING DRUGS so that women will get such drugs from them for free.<\/p>\n

But Planned Parenthood doesn\u2019t hand out birth control or abortion inducing drugs for free either.\u00a0 Planned Parenthood ALWAYS COLLECTS COLD, HARD CASH from their CLIENTS and AMERICAN TAXPAYERS for the birth control it doles out.\u00a0 Planned Parenthood\u2019s websites show that it charges between $15 and $800 for hormonal birth control, up to $70 for early-abortion pills, and up to $1000 for IUDs.\u00a0 At the very minimum, it charged low-income women $90 million for contraceptives in fiscal year 2011, and collected more than half a billion dollars in taxpayer money in that same year.<\/p>\n

Since Planned Parenthood is not giving every woman (OR EVEN ANY WOMAN) abortion pills and birth control for free because its concern is its BOTTOM LINE, then by its own standard it is no better than religious families who, FOR CONSTITUTIONALLY-PROTECTED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REASONS, also don\u2019t want to provide these items for free.\u00a0 Yes, Planned Parenthood is blocking women\u2019s access to birth control.<\/p>\n

But wait. You might say that Planned Parenthood isn\u2019t actually making birth control illegal, isn\u2019t penalizing women for using it, isn\u2019t directly telling women not to use it. After all, women don\u2019t need Planned Parenthood\u2019s permission to use birth control, just like they don\u2019t need their boss\u2019s permission. But none of that matters to Planned Parenthood:\u00a0 religious families aren\u2019t doing any of this either. \u00a0PEOPLE OF FAITH just want to be free from ObamaCare forcing them to buy ABORTION PILLS for women.<\/p>\n

Yet according to Planned Parenthood, anyone who refuses to give women free abortion pills and contraception is \u201cblocking access\u201d to birth control.\u00a0 So, in fact, that makes Planned Parenthood the NUMBER ONE ENEMY OF ACCESS to women\u2019s birth control.\u00a0 They charge women and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars for it every year.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood, stop holding my health hostage! Planned Parenthood needs to put a stop to this attack on women\u2019s health by asking Congress to rid our country of Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n
