Planned Parenthood: We will only give you an ultrasound if you want an abortion

Planned Parenthood continues to perpetuate the myth that it offers the comprehensive healthcare women need, not simply abortions. A new Live Action video, released in the Planned Parenthood: The Abortion Corporation investigation, further proves that the abortion chain exists primarily to commit abortions — not to care for women in their pregnancies.

In the new video, “Ultrasounds Only for Abortions at Planned Parenthood,” women trying to schedule ultrasounds at various Planned Parenthood facilities nationwide are told repeatedly that the only way they are getting an ultrasound from the abortion corporation is if they are doing as as part of the abortion procedure.

Ultrasounds for Killing, Not Care, at Planned Parenthood

Of the 68 Planned Parenthood facilities either called or visited, only three were able to provide diagnostic ultrasounds for pregnant women. The other 65 Planned Parenthood centers said, in no uncertain terms, that if a woman was getting an ultrasound from Planned Parenthood, it was only if the woman was terminating her pregnancy:

As with the recently released Prenatal Care Deception video, Planned Parenthood once again shows that its claims about being a necessary healthcare provider for women are false claims. The chief “service” that the abortion corporation cares about is its abortion business.

Planned Parenthood’s own website explains that ultrasounds are part of routine prenatal care — care that women need. Its website, however, doesn’t tell women that they will need to go elsewhere to receive that necessary care. The facilities featured in Live Action’s new investigative video again show the real mission of Planned Parenthood: abortion. As Live Action notes:

Once again, Planned Parenthood shows that abortion is why the corporation exists. The latest video in this series only hammers home the reality of the abortion focus. Live Action’s investigation continues to present a clear case for defunding the abortion corporation. In releasing that taxpayer money to other government-funded healthcare centers, women who need actual prenatal care will then be able to receive it. Currently, Planned Parenthood’s place on the government tab is only allowing the abortion provider greater revenue to continue its abortion business, while keeping women with genuine healthcare needs from receiving care not associated with abortion.

Planned Parenthood’s tagline is “Care. No matter what.” But if that line continued, it would have to say, “unless you plan to continue your pregnancy and need prenatal care, including diagnostic ultrasounds. Then we don’t care. No matter what.”
