Abortion and politics are\u00a0summed up by Kristof in that &#8220;Democrats proclaim a woman\u2019s right to choose, and Republicans thunder about the sanctity of human life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kristof gives a sort of disclaimer about him caring even though he&#8217;s a man. &#8220;It may seem, er, odd for a man to be raising the topic, but the lives of women shouldn\u2019t be a priority for women alone,&#8221; he writes.

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood remains the nation&#8217;s largest abortion provider and earns more taxpayer dollars. Besides this, as Live Action News&#8217;s Kristi Burton Brown <a href=\"\/news\/women-dont-need-planned-parenthood-abortion-giant-serves-small-percentage-women\/\">previously reported<\/a>, less than 1% of women get breast exams at Planned Parenthood (<a href=\"\/news\/mammosham-watch-the-viral-video-exposing-planned-parenthood-false-mammogram-claims\/\">zero get mammograms there<\/a>), and less than 2.4% get cervical cancer screenings (Pap smears) from the abortion giant. It seems to me that since approximately 98% of women are already going elsewhere for this type of care, there would be\u00a0no crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Speaking specifically of contraception, Kristof also notes this:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8230;Title X-supported clinics prevent three women a day from dying of cervical cancer \u2014 and also prevent one million unplanned pregnancies a year and 345,000 abortions. That makes Title X one of the most successful anti-abortion programs, yet Republicans regularly try to defund it. After inflation, Title X now has less than one-third as much money as in 1980.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">The only programs Republicans &#8220;regularly try to defund,&#8221; are programs that provide funding for abortion practitioners like\u00a0Planned Parenthood, the nation&#8217;s largest abortion provider. Kristof is not merely\u00a0misinformed or\u00a0ignorant when he makes these claims\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0he&#8217;s attempting to further\u00a0a political agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Kristof&#8217;s left out facts are killer ones&#8230; literally. Planned Parenthood not only performs the most abortions in the U.S. (323,999 of them, according to their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/files\/2114\/5089\/0863\/2014-2015_PPFA_Annual_Report_.pdf\">2014-2015 annual report<\/a>), but <a href=\"\/news\/united-states-planned-parenthood-world-leaders-performing-abortions\/\">in the world<\/a>.\u00a0Planned Parenthood may be <em>a<\/em> place where birth control can be accessed, but it is not <em>the<\/em> only place. The <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthoods-birth-control-figures-draw-scrutiny\/\">organization&#8217;s numbers and claims\u00a0about preventing unplanned pregnancies<\/a>\u00a0also don&#8217;t add up &#8211; certainly not when you consider that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/fact-sheet\/induced-abortion-united-states\">51% of women<\/a> having abortions were actually using birth control when they became pregnant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Both the <a href=\"\/news\/breaking-u-s-senate-votes-to-defund-planned-parenthood\/\">U.S. Senate<\/a> and the\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/breaking-congress-votes-defund-planned-parenthood\/\">House of Representatives<\/a> have both voted to defund Planned Parenthood. The money used to fund Planned Parenthood would have funded the FQHCs, which not only means there already are\u00a0&#8220;alternatives in place,&#8221; but there are\u00a0<em>improvements<\/em> in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\">Some states are currently defunding\u00a0Planned Parenthood, instead funneling that funding to FQHCs. A bill\u00a0was signed into law\u00a0<a href=\"\/news\/kansas-permanently-defunds-planned-parenthood-sends-money-to-health-clinics\/\">in Kansas<\/a> to do just that. And across the country, abortion businesses <a href=\"\/news\/abortion-centers-are-closing-because-women-dont-need-them\/\">are closing and staying closed<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; not because of restrictions, but because of lack of consumer demand.
