Oh the Tangled Web You Weave Planned Parenthood

February 21, 2011 Planned Parenthood CEO, Cecile Richards, stopped by the morning talk show The View to talk with pro-abortion Joy Behar, a pro-abortion supporter, and her talk show correspondents. During this interview they discussed the possible defunding of Planned Parenthood.  Cecile stated, “If this bill ever becomes law, millions of women in this country are going to lose their health care access, not to abortion services, to basic family planning – you know, mammograms, cancer screenings, cervical cancer.”

Unfortunately, Cecile Richards mislead the viewers when she said that women would lose access to mammograms if Planned Parenthood was defunded, because Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms on women.  No mammograms are performed as a service to women in any Planned Parenthood facility across the country.  Planned Parenthood gives referrals to other medical institutions to provide mammograms.  Therefore, a woman's primary care physician could refer a woman to get a mammogram.  This however,  is not the first time that Planned Parenthood has stretched the truth.  In 2006, a Susan G. Komen affiliate gave Planned Parenthood a $12,000 grant for breast exams.  Why would Planned Parenthood accept a $12,000 grant for breast exams if they don't perform mammograms?  That $12,000 grant should have been used in breast cancer research and reserved for post-abortive women who now have breast cancer, because there is a link between abortion and breast cancer.

If Planned Parenthood is lying in the media and to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, what else are they lying about?
