FWIW all of those "services" they offer are available at the county health department AND many crises pregnancy centers (which generally get no government funding).
Alternative Fact. Abortion makes up 3% of the total of business the PP provides. It is also impossible to say what every County Health Department provides in 50 states.
So defund PP (a private corporation) and move the money to county services to bring them up to snuff. Easy peasy!
If it provides as much support to poor women, I'm all in favor for doing it!
Many crisis pregnancy centers provide the same services but they cannot get public funding because they have "politicized" abortion or they have a religious message and motive. PP is a political organization first and they have a message and motive as well. Additionally, crises pregnancy centers offer assistance for the mother through the pregnancy and beyond. If you want to keep your baby PP has nothing or you. On the local PP website these are the offered services:
Abortion Referral
Birth Control
General Health Care
HIV Testing
LGBT Services
Men's Health Care
Morning-After Pill (Emergency Contraception)
Pregnancy Testing & Services
STD Testing, Treatment & Vaccines
Women's Health Care
They aren't in favor of planned parenthood, they aren't even in favor of parenthood. Their goal and mission is parenthood prevention.
