Undercover Video Exposes Deep Contradiction at the Heart of Planned Parenthood
22nd May 2017
When Live Action called Planned Parenthood clinics asking for other services ranging from prenatal care to adoption to parenting resources, staff at seven of the clinics said to “just go online” or “just Google” those services.
In two especially chilling moments in the video, Planned Parenthood staffers tell women who are looking for an ultrasound that they don’t actually provide ultrasounds—not unless the plan is to take the baby’s life through abortion, that is.
“We don’t do any ultrasounds for prenatal care,” a staff member at a Council Bluffs, Iowa, Planned Parenthood tells a caller. “We do them when we’re doing abortions, but not for any other reason.”
Then they ought to call themselves ‘Planned Non-Parenthood’. Margaret Sanger’s dream of eliminating the Undesirables proceeds apace.
A graphic at the end of Live Action’s video shows that the corporation “performs” nearly 35 percent of all abortions in the U.S. compared with less than 2 percent of breast exams, less than 1 percent of pap smears, and less than two percent of cancer screenings.
I’ll bet they’re focusing on their ‘core competency’. They’ll probably win some sort of business award for that.

They’re following the Invisible Hand: they’ve identified a market, and they’re supplying it.
Markets work even when you don’t want them to.
And, just like the so-called “drug war”, if abortion was made illegal the demand would still be there, and there would still be “entrepreneurs” willing to service it. Just as there existed before Roe vs. Wade. Illegality has not stopped drugs and will not(despite the current AG’s misbegotten return to Draconianism). And destroying Planned Parenthood will not stop abortions, irrespective of the wishful thinking of the “pro-life” movement.
