One of the reasons this website was started is the lack of thorough\u00a0investigating and reporting\u00a0of the relationship between Planned Parenthood in Arizona and local school districts who\u00a0consider allowing them in schools.\u00a0 Although there was an Arizona Republic\/azcentral.com reporter assigned to cover school issues during the Tempe Union High School decision<\/a>, she didn’t report the matter thoroughly despite indicating privately at school board meetings she wanted to.\u00a0 Perhaps her bosses at the newspaper put the brakes on her wishes.<\/p>\n

Because we need to keep Planned Parenthood and their politicians in check we must respond to a recent Op-Ed<\/a> on the azcentral.com website written by Jodi Liggett and Dr. William Richardson.\u00a0 Mrs. Liggett is\u00a0the vice-president of public affairs\u00a0for Planned Parenthood and Dr. Richardson is\u00a0their medical director.\u00a0 As with their non-medically accurate sex ed,\u00a0Planned Parenthood’s\u00a0written piece has many holes we must alert the public about.\u00a0 It is proper the piece is filed\u00a0as opinion.<\/p>\n

The title is strange in itself though: “Don’t Believe Alternative Facts About Planned Parenthood.”\u00a0 It seems Liggett and Williamson are admitting the anti-Planned Parenthood crowd is indeed using facts.\u00a0 We thank them for bringing these “alternative” facts to light–it gives us an opportunity to go into some detail about them.<\/p>\n

Liggett and Williamson start by saying birth control and abortion don’t cause cancer.\u00a0 Check out this article<\/a> from breastcancer.org explaining the birth control pill and breast cancer link in great detail.\u00a0 Does Planned Parenthood go over these possible risks with their clients, especially teenagers?<\/p>\n

Second, there is also research indicating a link between abortion and breast cancer.\u00a0 Sadly, this doesn’t make the news.\u00a0\u00a0Some studies indicate there is a link and other studies say there isn’t.\u00a0 This article sums<\/a> up the number of studies and how many are showing a link between breast cancer and abortion.\u00a0 It would be a loving gesture for Planned Parenthood, who calls itself a necessary source for womens’ healthcare, to at least talk about the possible links with their abortion-minded clients.\u00a0 It’s only fair their clients have the necessary information to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n

Third, Planned Parenthood argues that abortion is not reversible.\u00a0 Most abortions cannot be reversed.\u00a0\u00a0However, there is a way to reverse\u00a0one abortion procedure before it is complete.\u00a0 It’s called Abortion Pill Reversal<\/a>\u00a0(APR).\u00a0 It was recognized legally recently in Arizona but Planned Parenthood couldn’t face the truth and ran to the courts to get it, well….reversed<\/a>.\u00a0 Planned Parenthood has called APR junk science. The procedure is rather new, it’s not junk,\u00a0there is a difference. A woman who takes RU-486 or Mifepristone takes the dosage in two pills.\u00a0 Sometimes between the first and second pill, a woman has second thoughts.\u00a0 In the past, they may have called Planned Parenthood to ask them if the procedure can be stopped.\u00a0 They have been told no.<\/p>\n

Now these women have the option to call 877-558-0333 and talk to someone about whether the procedure can be reversed and how.\u00a0 There are several factors that contribute to APR’s success, and of course as with all medical procedures, nothing is 100%.\u00a0 However, the number of healthy babies born after an APR intervention is increasing.\u00a0 While Liggett and Williamson say it isn’t possible, we have met a healthy baby born after APR!<\/p>\n

As far as sex ed and the HPV vaccine increasing kids wanting to have sex, of course both of these will!\u00a0 Planned Parenthood explains it in an indirect way, they just don’t want kids or politicians to follow their trail.\u00a0 While they deny abortion is their number\u00a0one money-maker, when President Trump offered<\/a> to keep funding them if they dropped abortions, they denied the opportunity.\u00a0 Therefore, abortion must be a necessity for Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.\u00a0 How else can they get these girls in the door?\u00a0 Talk sex, demand sex in schools, normalize sex at any age, treat girls and boys as sex objects, train teens to talk to other teens about sex, and support politicians who carry the Planned Parenthood message along their campaign trail.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Liggett and Williamson may be sort of correct in that Planned Parenthood never offered mammograms and we shouldn’t be saying they ever advertised as such.\u00a0 But they advertise in a way to mislead women into thinking they do provide mammograms.\u00a0 Both sides may be at fault on this point.\u00a0 But even\u00a0President Barack Obama\u00a0thought they did.\u00a0 In the last several years, word has gotten out that Planned Parenthood simply does manual breast exams and refers patients somewhere else for a mammogram.\u00a0 (This is a medical need that can be done by most doctors, society doesn’t need Planned Parenthood for manual exams and referrals.)\u00a0 Click this link<\/a> and play the video with the former President, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards, and others.\u00a0 Has Planned Parenthood been confusing Americans through the years purposely to continue receiving federal tax dollars and donations?<\/p>\n

It is surprising Planned Parenthood’s op-ed writers would refer to their founder, Margaret Sanger, to strengthen their opinion piece.\u00a0 We have written<\/a> about Margaret Sanger’s goal of ridding\u00a0society of people with color.\u00a0 Here are some classic quotes<\/a> from Sanger–read these\u00a0to see how Planned Parenthood started.<\/p>\n

At the end of the piece, Mrs. Liggett and Dr. Williamson say they trust people to make good decisions.\u00a0 If Planned Parenthood really laid out the facts with each client, we would believe them.\u00a0 But by withholding information from the girls who come to their centers and from the general public, they are not medically accurate.\u00a0 Why not?<\/p>\n

To all the employees at Planned Parenthood, we do not hate you.\u00a0 We do not like what your organization is doing to our children, women,\u00a0and our culture.\u00a0 Tomorrow is a new day.\u00a0 There is life, freedom, and happiness\u00a0on the other side of Planned Parenthood.\u00a0 When you are ready, many on the pro-life\/anti-Planned Parenthood side will be there to help you without judgement.\u00a0 Many have walked in your shoes and will be happy to walk along side you in your journey out of Planned Parenthood.\u00a0 Please contact abortionworker.com<\/a> for help.\u00a0 You will\u00a0remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
