Pressure is on in Congress to approve what is being called the "Pence Amendment" -- legislation that calls for defunding the nation's largest abortion-provider. Planned Parenthood executive director Cecile Richards made the following statement recently on Joy Behar's television program:
Richards: "What's going to happen as a result of this, if this bill ever becomes law, millions of women in this country are going to lose their healthcare access, not to abortion services [but] to basic family planning -- you know, mammograms."
Mammograms? Live Action, which has done numerous undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood, called 30 of their clinics. Here are some samples of the results:
Call #1
Planned Parenthood: Thank you for calling Planned Parenthood. How can I help you?
Live Action: Does Planned Parenthood provide mammograms of some sort?
Planned Parenthood: We do not.
Call #2
LA: And I'm hoping I can come in to get a mammogram. Does Planned Parenthood provide those?
PP: We don't.
Call #3
PP: We don't do mammograms here though.
Call #4
LA: Do you offer mammograms?
PP: No.
Call #5
LA: Do you provide mammograms?
PP: No, I'm sorry we don't.
Call #6
PP: No ma'm, we sure don't.
Planned Parenthood has issued a clarification, saying that they offer breast exams but actually refer clients to outside sources for mammograms -- which means that if Congress defunds Planned Parenthood, mammograms will still be available at those other sources.
