Planned Parenthood to Spend $200k for Ads Promoting Planned & Wanted Funding
**Written by Doug Powers
For those of you keeping score at home, this amount of money is the equivalent of about 1.2 million packages of Ramen noodles.
Jim Geraghty at NRO:
In Mike Allen’s morning newsletter, we learn Planned Parenthood will spend $200,000 on television ads, urging Congress to not cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
You know, folks, if you can afford to spend $200,000 on television ads, maybe you don’t need all of that federal funding.
By way of Weasel Zippers, here’s the ad. They fail to mention one of their primary services though. See if you can guess which one:
“If it weren’t for Planned Parenthood, I wouldn’t be here today.”
Conversely, how many would be here today?
As with most stories about Planned Parenthood activities, I’m required to add the obligatory “poor and minority unborn hardest hit” tag at the end.

50 million aborted babies silently scream defund!
Amen RC!
I’m guessing that the 200k is coming out of the current cut of taxpayer “contributions”.
And you’re right, that’s a lot of Ramen Noodles for hungry children.
Excellent points Doug ! That`s a bunch of Ramen Noodles !
Maybe the lady wouldn`t be here without the services of Planned Parenthood, but many tens of millions of other folks would be and you just know that, since abortions have been performed on mostly minorities and minorities have a long history of dem support, the dems, who also provide the greatest support for PP, are paying all that ad money to continue the decline in dem voter numbers !
There`s just nothing like creating your own quandary !!
I would hope that NONE of that $200,000, in any way, came from taxpayers.
Very profound, very chilling.

Planned Parenthood:
I used to work at a lab, and I had several PP clinics as stops over the years.
To say it was disgusting is an understatement: almost always, it was UNDERAGE GIRLS in the waiting rooms, many times alone, sometimes with female friends, a couple with male friends/boyfriends. By their body language and conversations, you knew they weren’t there for cancer screenings. Pregnancy tests, STDs tests, and abortions. Never saw a parent there with them. What does it tell you about PP?
Unfortunately, I could never say anything about it or to them: I was only there to pick up specimens(they are a big client.) I’m so glad I don’t have to go there anymore!
Remember, PP was started by people who believed in eugenics. The packaging may have changed over the years but I believe that that premise has always been the foundation of this group.
Doug that’s also about 200,000 condoms.
I don’t care how much money pp spends on ads, I want the whole blooming thing de-funded, period! And I do not want anything like this in bhocare bill either taxpayes are paying for.

The antiabortion billboard above Watts Street and Sixth Avenue read: ‘The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb. ’http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2011/02/25/antiabortion-billboard-in-soho-to-be-removed/?mod=google_news_blog
I wonder if Planned Parenthood offer help with IVF or fertility drugs, because their name implies assistance to those who want to plan their parenthood.
With Obamacare, Planned Parenthood isn’t required, right?
Carolyn looks like Hillary Clinton. Hmm…
Maybe that’s just another part of the bill we could find out about AFTER it was passed. Small print is a b*tch to the willfully blind.

At this point in time, Planned Parenthood stops more illegal aliens than the Border Patrol.

I was in Sam’s Club Saturday and had an urge to buy some Top Ramen noodles and decided I shouldn’t. I just KNEW there were families in deeper dire straits than I am.
I did my civic duty and left them for the more needy in society. If I had been the government, I would have purchased the whole stash they had there and sent it to the projects.
Unfortunately, I’m not the government and I don’t get subsidies from socialist union organizations.
Bust the unions…. starve the democrats!
Who is Barry Soetero?
Kinda creepy, I noticed that too.
One wonders then, why is there a flap over anchor babies? Is PP laying down on the job or just overwhelmed?
Ah, cool it Rogue! They’re not about to kill off 50 million American taxpaying slaves to the maw of the almighty Entitlement State without a plan to replace them. The Dems have that covered with 50 million illegals awaiting their amnesty. Babies may be unwanted but that tax boodle they represent is quite significant.
Ah, the old “bait and switch” ruse.
Can’t do any better than that, worth repeating
One of those could have been a doctor who discovers a cure for cancer, or autism.
Possibly, the next Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton.
The next Ronald Reagan.
Maybe the scientist who perfects cold fusion.
We’ll never know, now.
I’d rather they spend the last of their ill-gotten cash on advertising than their usual vocation. Now if we can just keep Congress on course to defund.
Shut ‘em down.
conservative hispanic
So, if the services they provide to these young people are so great and healthy, why not advertise that in their ads?
Just like the teachers unions spending money on how they need more money.
If progressives actually advertised what they have done, what they are doing, and what they want to do
forto us, they’d be out of business really fast and rightly so.How many more would they kill to prevent that? Yes, I went there.
Who is Barry Soetero?
How about using that $200K to promote planned and wanted babies, PP?
What does “parenthood” have to do with cancer? Breast exams and cancer treatment is very laudable and necessary. Defund Planned Parenthood and direct the money so designated to doctors to provide the critical services.
I find this meme repulsive. It’s like Hitler saying, “Well, I gave you the Volkswagen.”
Errah, Planned diversion and wanting the taxpayers teat!
Who is Barry Soetero?
I can say that PP probably has much to do with cancer:
Advocates for continued tax-payer funding for PP keep citing “vital health services” provided by PP – often alluding to mammogram screening, like this ad apparently does.
But according to Family Research Council, the whole argument is a sham. And they coined it “Mammosham”
Apparently they could not locate a single PP clinic that offered mammogram screening, only advice to go see another health care provider for one.
I guess this advice is considered a ‘vital’ service ?
Here’s the thing….I do not want one single penny, not one, of taxpayer money going to support this murderous organization. One of my life’s goals is to shout from the rooftops who these despicable people are. I often ask people I know who are Christians how they can justify voting for any pro-abortion Democrat, and they never have an answer!
Errah, Is it me or is Chelsea starting to look like her mother?
I saw a poll recently that stated most women believe the #1 killer of women in America is breast cancer. Many believe the breast cancer is #1 because of the millions spent in public service announcements, marches, pink ribbons, etc.
The actual #1 killer for American women is heart disease, followed by colo-rectal cancer.
Why does Planned Parenthood do breast cancer screening and not heart and colon screening? Breasts are not necessary for reproduction, but a working heart and colon helps significantly.
Males and females both have mammary glands. Give a guy estrogen, and he will develop a rack. Does Planned Parenthood do breast cancer screening for men? (More women develop breast cancer than men, but the fatality rates are higher for men because they don’t get screening.)
My recommendation is that Planned Parenthood change it’s name to The Feminist Embassy.
Errah, “Mammosham” Isn’t that what Michael Jackson muttered in one of his songs?
Worse.
Chelsea looks like a Windsor. Princess Margaret, especially.
“Planned Parenthood” is the most horrific example of doublespeak I can summon, grisly in its true meaning, that is, the exact opposite of the claim in every part of its name. It feels like filth, a lie, just to use the name in referring to the organization. Wonder what I could call it that would be truthful, and still refer to them.
Sorry, Hangfire, I was still typing when you posted your name suggestion. Good one.
Yep, just like “Women’s Clinic”
You never see a sign on a store window saying “ABORTIONS INSIDE.” It is usually clouded in “Women’s Clinic” or “Women’s Health Center” or “Women’s Reproductive Health Agency.”
Abortion is the crown jewel in the Feminist Movement.
I’ve often heard “Planned Barrenhood.” A more fitting name but not nearly as marketable.
And let’s face it – it’s all about marketing their butchering service.
I wonder how many young women go to Planned Parenthood to obtain “the pill” because it’s free, and their parents won’t find out about it, then fail to tell their family physician that they are taking “the Pill?” The regular physician can possibly prescribe all sorts of medications to the women without taking contraindications into consideration. Many medicines should not be taken if you are taking hormonal birth control.
True words. I’ve known several women who were unable to have any more children after an abortion.
I gotta think a bunch of selfish, irresponsible, shallow young men will disagree with you, but then that’s a libturd thought process all over.
Hangfire…do you have man boobs? I have acquired another fact for the “things I would rather not know” file.
Excellent–
Now we have the Wild Life Fund (frat partys?) running ads to have our CongressCritters to come up with some more walking around money. The blood suckers are fearful aren’t they? Good.
===
Cut the budget:
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
should be a convenience store,
NOT a government agency.
No, but I have been called one on several occasions.
I can relate.
Saving Liberals? Just another reason to defund.
Kinda reminds me of the “Brown 25” ads in the movie “The Groove Tube.”
Ask Rogue Cheddar……..
To:Hangfire #43, Zest et al:
Let me reiterate my earlier post. The main function that I observed at PP “clinics” was to provide contraceptives, STD testing and abortions to UNDERAGE GIRLS APPARENTLY WITHOUT THE PARENTS KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. I NEVER saw a parent there.
Besides, like my spouse says:
.
And mammograms don’t have to do squat with “planned parenthood”.
Hangfire said:
“Males and females both have mammary glands. Give a guy estrogen, and he will develop a rack.”
Kind of reminds me of a response my 15 year old said to his Mother, yes my wife, when she was what iffing him to death about a subject:
“Well if my Aunt had a package, she’d be my Uncle. What if?”
I was deathly afraid to laugh so I just left the house instead.
“If it weren’t for Planned Parenthood, I wouldn’t be here today.”
Newsflash: The only people who support abortions are the ones who had the privilege of being born – Ronald Reagan.
Slim, meet None
Well Put, deserves repeating!!!!
I know a couple of great Oncologists who would argue that Cancer has nothing to do with Planned Parenthood. They give free Mammography screenings as well.
Left alone, the Civil Society will self-correct and fend for itself.
Who is Barry Soetero?
We are John Galt!
How about we take the money from Planned Parenthood and send it to community pregnancy centers instead? They do all the same services without the whole killing people part.
We don’t disagree. Far from it.
Just adding to your post, not detracting.
Conservative hispanic, ditto what Hangfire said.
Hangfire:
Thanks for your support. Planned Parenthood should be given a full RICO anal probe,its leaders jailed and the organization disbanded. They aid and abet child sex abuse, and physically and psychologically scar the victims of their child-killing procedures.
And have you noticed how THE WON doesn’t say a word about this criminals?
Maybe it’s because abortion is about the only thing PBHO is passionate about and didn’t vote “present” in Illinois and D.C.
You ask “Who is Barry Soetoro?”, at least I can say: He loves dead children.
Any of you who support the Susan G. Komen Foundation should take a look at this:
http://www.lifenews.com/2010/05/24/nat-6360/
I WILL NOT be supporting them this year!
Thanks for the head’s up.
My pleasure, pass it on!
Well said. The truth. Say it loud and often – and do something toward this end. If you haven’t been hounding your reps on this do it now.
I highly doubt that this woman’s only choice in dealing with her cancer was P.P.
After reading about the butchers who pretty much forced teens to have (botched) abortions, (that their parents may not have known about), I can’t imagine that there would have been anyone qualified to treat cancer at those clinics. As far as i am concerned they deal w/ death, not life.
The other thing I find suspect is the fact that they had to make a 200G ‘commercial’ to get their message to Congress. They know the P.P. agenda.
The word is frequently used too loosely, but that organization is evil.
$200k would buy a lot of aspirins…
And instructions on how to hold one between your knees would take 10 seconds and be free…
What’s up in OKC?
Uhm… not a lot, it’s the middle of the night.
Hm.. it’s been St David’s Day for a couple hours now… went to the grocery store and forgot to get a leek for my cap
Happy St. David’s to ya.
St David’s Day today.
@02:57, Fluellen speaks of St David’s Day
I celebrate St David’s Day as a reminder to myself and the nation that there are cultures other than “Native American” or “Mexican” with traditions worth learning and respecting.
(And I like to celebrate April 30th, Camarone Day, just to annoy the Mexican nationalists who wish to impose their culture on my nation…)
Go to Braums and celebrate!
No cawl or rarebit at Braums, but have a milkshake.
Adding my wishes for a Happy St. David’s Day to all
Merchants of Death.
