How 'bout a reality check, hm? Fact #1: Planned Parenthood is currently under investigation by Congress over their use of all those federal dollars we taxpayers are obligated to provide them. And let's not be obtuse here, folks - funds are fungible. Funds that pay the electric bill for the abortion mill are funding abortion. Planned Parenthood EXISTS to do abortions. Period. If they had to cease killing babies tomorrow, they'd close up shop the day after that. They are not a benevolent medical organization interested in women's health. They are not philanthropists. They are interested only in profits, and abortion means BIG profits. Those "blobs of tissue" may be small, but getting rid of them is a multi-million dollar industry. Breast cancer screenings? Not a money-maker. (Hence the cry for grants from generous folks like Komen.)
Fact #2: Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms. There is not a single PP clinic in the U.S. that can give a woman a mammogram. Planned Parenthood does not offer any direct cancer treatment services. PP does a physical breast exam, and then they are merely a referral center. They send women to hospitals and health care facilities that do provide mammograms. And for this, they demand the generous support of charitable contributions.
Fact #3: Planned Parenthood performed less than 5% of the breast examsthat Komen grants funded in 2011. Clearly, Komen has not abandoned women to suffer without needed care. Quite the contrary. Brinker explained that Komen's goal is to direct their funding toward providers who - imagine this now - actually provide mammograms and cancer treatment!!
And last but certainly not least: It was not the Komen Foundation that issued a statement about their decision to discontinue funding PP, butPlanned Parenthood who leaked the news to the media first in order to stir up the necessary outrage toward Komen. And the mainstream media was only too eager to oblige. Poor, poor Planned Parenthood! One ABC News story set it up this way: "Witch Hunt or Policy Shift?" With "reporting" like that, how can anyone question the allegiance of the media to PP?
So began the smear campaign against Komen, accusing them of politicizing women's health. Have you noticed that a decision to not fund Planned Parenthood is always about politicizing women's health, but mandated funding of PP is never political, just noble and necessary? In the world where Planned Parenthood is sainted and adored, any citizen who doesn't ...
bow and pay homage (literally, pay) is punished and if necessary, crushed for their transgression.
That's the lesson of this Komen story: Planned Parenthood has friends in high and useful places, and if you dare cross them, you.will.be.destroyed.
In the most ironic statement of the month, Cecile Richards griped that Komen's decision was the result of bullying by the pro-life community:
"It's hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women's lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying," Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, told the Associated Press.
