Senator Boxer
It seems that Senator Barbara Boxer is insisting that Planned Parenthood really, REALLY, performs mammograms, despite Live Action’s latest sting. Read about it here.
It’s an odd set of circumstances. On the one hand, we have Abby Johnson, former PP clinic director, who claims that no PP does mammograms. On the same hand we have the same story from PP clinics taped in the latest Live Action sting. All claim PP merely gives referrals for mammograms performed at real health centers.
On the other hand we have Susan G. Komen giving millions of dollars to PP for mammograms they insist PP performs. We also have PP president Cecile Richards and Senator Boxer insisting that PP performs mammograms.
At the least, Richards ought to inform her employees that the mammogram machines exist at Planned Parenthood so they know enough to schedule appointments. While she is at it, perhaps she could get together with Senator Boxer and furnish the American people with a list of PP centers that perform mammograms.
Perhaps Richards and Boxer are correct, and the people who actually staff the centers can’t see the elephant in the exam room. Perhaps Live Action managed to beat all odds and call every PP center without a machine. If so, that’s a statistical feat that will never be duplicated anytime soon.
They’d have to hire radiologists to read the mammograms and the machines are very expensive. One could ask ol’ lady Boxer if PP has radiologists on their payroll. Or ask if they are licensed and monitored by the feds to have radiation in their clinics. I would think this is public info–i.e., does PP have a certificate from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to have mammogram machines? (At least I think that’s who regulates radiographic medical interventions on the Federal Level.)
If there is any radiation above background in a Planned Parenthood clinic, they have probably figured a way to zap babies! 🙂
Thank you for those wonderful questions Snaul. yes, I would like Senator Boxer to ask those questions and give us the anwers.
Yes, that is a VERY good point. If Planned Parenthood ANYWHERE did mammographys on site, they MUST have a Mammogram cert in order to bill for them!
God knows, I did enough format modification on WebMD billing software to know THAT!
If babies weren’t being dismembered and burned alive at this very moment, I would be laughing. What do you expect? This is the same woman who said that a baby’s / fetus’s / born fetus’s [insert language of the day here] constitutional rights begin after “its” parents bring “it” home from the hospital. She’s downright comical. The voters who contunue to re-elect her, however…. they’re the ones who really frighten me.
Unicorns, fairies, PP mammogram machines and Bigfoot, what one is different from the rest?
Answer: There are actually photos of Bigfoot.
Planned Parenthood has nearly one billion dollars in net assets and launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign after recently dealing with a public relations nightmare brought on by Live Action who continues to expose. If Planned Parenthood has millions of dollars to spend on PR, they can do without taxpayer dollars. Especially if 1 in 395 pp clients are being referred toward adoption.
