Reeling from backlash over recent scandal, Planned Parenthood is trying its very best to convince America that women need Planned Parenthood, and that without continued taxpayer funding to the organization, women will have nowhere to turn.<\/p>\n

The problem is, that’s simply untrue, and Planned Parenthood knows it. As the American public has become aware of Planned Parenthood’s illegal sale of human body parts, possible infanticide and partial-birth abortions, the abortion giant has engaged in an intense damage control campaign, with a focus on reminding the American public – over and over again – of the women’s health services they offer. Many of Planned Parenthood’s recent statements are quick to point out “cancer screenings,” – after all, everyone supports that, right?<\/p>\n

As we all know, mammograms are an essential service for women’s health, and apparently\u00a0many consider that reason enough to continue funding Planned Parenthood. In 2012, President Obama proclaimed that millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood for mammograms. In this year’s Miss America pageant, Miss Tennessee stated<\/a> that federal funding for Planned Parenthood should continue, because “it goes for mammograms.”<\/p>\n

The problem is, Planned Parenthood doesn’t\u00a0provide mammograms. Live Action uncovered this fact through a nationwide investigation<\/a>, and Planned Parenthood President, Cecile Richards, should finally be forced to admit the truth.<\/p>\n
