Hundreds of women call Planned Parenthood to expose the mammogram lie
On Monday, September 21, hundreds of women from across the United States called their local Planned Parenthood locations in an attempt to schedule mammograms. Not a single appointment was made because, despite popular belief, Planned Parenthood does not provide mammograms.
And Then There Were None, the pro-life organization founded by former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, organized the event in order to shed light on the misconception.
A preliminary report from the event was posted to the And Then There Were None website and stated:
An investigation by Live Action revealed that Planned Parenthood does not offer mammogram services for women.
In fact, everyone from President Obama to a Miss America contestant has repeated the lie that women need Planned Parenthood in order to receive mammograms.
And just this month Miss Tennessee, Hannah Robison feed the lie to viewers of the Miss America pageant when she said:
In reality, when a woman goes to Planned Parenthood for a cancer screening, she is referred to a different local health care clinic . There are over 8,700 licensed facilities that provide mammograms in the United States. Not a single one is a Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood does, however, provide 300,000 abortions each year and has been caught trafficking the body parts of countless aborted babies. The tax money that is giving to Planned Parenthood each year could easily be given to true health care clinics that focus on providing comprehensive women’s health care.
Exposing the truth wasn’t the only positive result from the event. The next day, Johnson posted on Facebook:
Throughout the day Monday, women who called Planned Parenthood shared their results via social media.
