<\/div>

Abortion facilities across the United States, including many Planned Parenthood<\/a> affiliates, are cashing in on the proliferation of transgender confusion resulting from the promotion of transgender ideology. Some abortion facilities do not even specify age limits on their website for transgender services, while others openly advertise the service to minors.<\/p>\n

While Planned Parenthood offers transgender services to adults, a small number of affiliates openly advertise that they also offer the body-altering drugs to minors (some promote<\/a> “puberty blockers” for children or provide<\/a> hormone injections to minors). And it is clear that Planned Parenthood has plans to expand its targeting of teens; a brochure<\/a> uploaded by the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood<\/a> affiliate claims to serve “patients 16 & older for HRT, with the hope to serve younger patients in the future<\/strong><\/em>.” (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

In addition, Planned Parenthood, a top provider<\/a> of so-called gender-affirming care, normalizes<\/a> changing gender anytime someone \u2018feels\u2019 like it \u2014 and\u00a0is always willing to refer minors<\/a> for life-altering drugs.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is not the only abortion business cashing in on the transgender agenda; Live Action News found multiple others.<\/p>\n

Abortion Facilities Offer Trans Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cedar River<\/strong>, an abortion business in Washington State, not only commits abortions up to 26 weeks, but also offers<\/a> transgender hormone services. The business will refer clients for “Gender Reassignment, Breast, and Cosmetic Surgeries,” and conduct “Postsurgical Follow Up: Genital Reassignment, Breast, and Cosmetic Surgeries.”<\/p>\n

The website acknowledges<\/a> that “Being on estrogen increases your risk of high blood pressure, liver problems, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and gall stones.” In addition, it advises<\/a> clients taking testosterone that “[i]t is important for you to know that the changes to your uterus and ovaries can make it difficult or impossible to have biological children. This reduced fertility can be permanent. There is no way to know for sure if you will regain full fertility, so you should plan ahead with the assumption that you won\u2019t<\/strong><\/em>….” (emphasis added)<\/p>\n

Cedar River Clinic documents identify other risks, writing, “There is very limited research on the long term effects of masculinizing hormone therapy but it\u2019s always likely that it may worsen cholesterol problems, obstructive sleep apnea (along with the snoring that comes with it!), obesity, and acne. It is also believed to increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, and diabetes to be more like that of a cisgender male. You will have a higher risk of stroke, as testosterone can cause your blood to become thicker. With smoking, that risk becomes even higher… There has been no research on the long-term impact of hormone therapy on fertility, so we do not know if your fertility would return to normal after stopping hormone therapy.”<\/p>\n

Choices Center for Reproductive Health<\/strong> abortion facilities offer “Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy,” in Memphis, Tennessee, and Carbondale, Illinois. Minor clients “under 18 years of age<\/a>” must go to the Carbondale, Illinois, facility to obtain the service.<\/p>\n

The Choices website<\/a> also promotes so-called “safe binding” and “safe tucking” resources to anyone online. According to the website transguys.com<\/a>, “Binding\u201d refers to flattening breast tissue to create a male-appearing chest using a variety of materials and methods.”<\/p>\n

FolxHealth.com defines<\/a> “tucking” as ” a practice that creates a visibly smooth crotch contour a.k.a. putting one\u2019s penis (or girldick, clit, ladybits, shenis, or whatever else you call your junk!) and\/or testicles between one\u2019s legs, so it’s not visible from the front.”<\/p>\n

In 2020<\/a>, Choices committed 2,399 abortions and 436 transgender services (GAC). By 2021,<\/a>\u00a0abortions increased to 3,893 while GAC services dropped slightly to 433.<\/p>\n

Boulder Valley Health Center<\/strong> in Colorado, which boasts a “teen clinic<\/a>,” not only commits abortion up to 16 weeks<\/a> but is also offering transgender services as well as “counseling on surgical treatments,” their website<\/a> states.<\/p>\n

In 2022<\/a>, the facility named<\/a> Dr. Savita Ginde, once exposed by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), as their Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n
