PP Slanders Pregnancy Care Clinics

Planned Parenthood’s website has a pages dedicated to slandering crisis pregnancy centers and pregnancy care clinics committed to offering women alternatives to abortion. The page is filled with outrageous lies aimed at some of the country’s most loving, caring, and sacrificial volunteers.

Ironically enough, the site accuses these non-profit charities of trying to frighten women with false information, exactly what PP is known for, and exactly what the webpage itself is doing!

PP tries to convince women that clinics offering alternatives to abortion may give them “incomplete or false information”, show “misleading films and pictures”, “may lie to you”, and even “may fool you into continuing your pregnancy” by telling “you that you are not pregnant even if you are.” It goes on to call them “fake clinics” and repeatedly accuses them of “tricking” women. It even includes a section called “How to avoid a crisis pregnancy center”!

Of course, not a single one of these slanderous and false accusations is backed up with any references or citations.

This kind of rhetoric is what fuels activities like the periodic protests by PP activists outside the clinics of Life Choices of King County in Seattle.

Many of us know individuals who work tirelessly on the selfless and loving front lines in these centers and clinics. Most work as volunteers. No-one makes any profit off of the decisions that their clients make. Medical care, including ultrasounds, is provided at no cost to clients. Compare that to Planned Parenthood, whose Washington State executives and abortionists pull down salaries of a quarter million dollars a year, as documented by this website, and whose revenues enable them to build brand new, shiny, expansive clinics for themselves in places like Yakima, Sunnyside, and Portland.

The ultimate evidence comes just by looking at the hope on the faces of the women leaving these clinics, and comparing that to the tears streaming down the faces of women leaving Planned Parenthood clinics.

Will Ms. Franks, executive director of PP of Central Washington, immediately remove these mean-spirited, hatemongering lies from her website and issue an unqualified apology for its having been posted in the first place?
