The biggest winner in the defunding of Planned Parenthood? Yet to be born black babies.

The biggest winner in the defunding of Planned Parenthood? Yet to be born black babies.

Well, at least it’s not all bad news for Conservatives this week. At least not here in Texas (and no, I’m not just talking about Kay Bailey Hutchison casting her final RINO vote ever in the US Senate).

Judge allows Texas to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

Of course, the ruling is not specific to Planned Parenthood, despite what the media headlines scream. Rather, the ruling prohibits any abortion providers and their affiliates from receiving taxpayer dollars through Texas’ Women’s Health Program. The money isn’t going away, and poor women will still be able to get receive preventive care treatment from other doctors and facilities that do not provide abortion services.

And let’s face it, Planned Parenthood is little more than an abortion factory, with abortion services comprising the majority of their  ”services.”

Linda Edwards Gockel, a spokesman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, said Monday that the new state program will launch as planned on Tuesday.

“We have more than 3,500 doctors, clinics and other providers in the program and will be able to continue to provide women with family planning services while fully complying with state law,” she said. “We welcome Planned Parenthood’s help in referring patients to providers in the new program.”

There are ~300 million guns in this country, which were responsible for ~10K gun-related deaths in the US in 2011. There are only about ~1800 abortion doctors in the country, but they are responsible for about the deaths of about 1.2 million unborn babies in the same year.

But Progressives want to have a conversation on guns?

  1. I understand that you prefer the truth, even when it hurts. So I have to ask, with you stating that “abortion services comprising the majority of their services.”, how does 3% in any way/shape/form comprise “a majority”?

    http://www.factcheck.org/2011/04/planned-parenthood/

    • Really? You cited Factcheck.org as your source? The same Factcheck that is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center?

      Annenberg…Annenberg? Now, where have we heard that name before?

      Ah, that’s right. Unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers (and Obama’s BFF, who also happened to ghost write Dreams of My Father for Obama) once appointed a young Barry Obama to chair the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

      For fuck’s sake, Evan, why not just cite Media Matters for America or Talking Points Memo?

      The fact is that PP performs 300,000-plus abortions every year (making it the largest abortion provider in the country).

      But I’ll play along, and also cite a far-left wing source, the NY Times:

      Planned Parenthood likes to claim that abortion accounts for just 3 percent of its services, for instance, and this statistic has been endlessly recycled in the press. But the percentage of the group’s clients who received an abortion is probably closer to 1 in 10, and Planned Parenthood’s critics have estimated, plausibly, that between 30 and 40 percent of its health center revenue is from abortion.

      By way of comparison, the organization also refers pregnant women for adoption. In 2010, this happened 841 times, against 329,445 abortions.

      I’d say the “Abortion Factory” description is spot on.

    • Oh, and 92% of all pregnant women at Planned Parenthood get Abortions.

      Again: Abortion factory. Fact.
