<\/div>

This week, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri announced their plans to merge with the Oklahoma affiliate<\/a> in July. This will create a new, larger, affiliate, called Planned Parenthood Great Plains… and will mean that every single Planned Parenthood affiliate in the United States will commit\u00a0abortions.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, in 2011, Planned Parenthood issued a mandate requiring every affiliate to provide abortions by 2013. Since then, the number of affiliates has been steadily declining<\/a>. Some affiliates merged in order to keep up with the mandate; others left the national abortion giant<\/a>\u00a0because they wanted to continue focusing on health care, and not abortion.<\/p>\n

\"DefundAd-400b\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each affiliate is required to have at least one abortion facility, and any facilities that do not commit\u00a0abortions must be able to refer women to a Planned Parenthood clinic within the same affiliate that does.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood has continued to promote the myth\u00a0that it is\u00a0a health care organization, where the focus is on helping low-income women get services they cannot obtain anywhere else. The truth is, the abortion corporation lies about the services it\u00a0provides.<\/p>\n

In addition, Planned Parenthood has falsely\u00a0stated that it\u00a0provides services, such as\u00a0mammograms, and lies about the number of abortions <\/a>it commits. The simple fact is that Planned Parenthood’s business is abortion, not health care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
