Fact-Check

Taxpayer funded falsehoods

Thanks to an open records request by Pro-Life Wisconsin, we now have an idea about some of the taxpayer money Planned Parenthood is using.

…in 2008, five Wisconsin counties wrote checks to Planned Parenthood. Among those counties is Outagamie County, where the Appleton Planned Parenthood is located. Outagamie County paid Planned Parenthood a total of $10,872.59 in 2008.

In addition to these county funds, the Appleton Planned Parenthood received $429,462.88 in 2007 under Wisconsin’s Family Planning Waiver Program. In total, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin received $15.82 million. Through this federal/state program, minors as young as 15 receive free birth control, without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

LifeNews has also reported on this today: Govt Funds Wisconsin Planned Parenthood That Misled Women on Abortion

Here is the video that captures the misleading abortion counseling by Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin:

    I find it comical that you portray Planned Parenthood as liars and concealers of the truth. What have you done to create your new videos? Have you not edited, removed messages that don't support your mission, and inserted messages that you would like your supporters to hear? To promote your cause, which is not necessarily a bad one, you cannot attack an organization for the very same tactics that you yourself use. How ridiculous the notion of Planned Parenthood wanting to increase the number of abortions. Abortions comprise about 2% of the organization's services, and they have the same goal as pro-lifers: to reduce the need for abortions. That is why 98% of its services focus on education and prevention.

    It always makes me laugh when I hear Planned Parenthood as "hiding the truth" from women. Live Action and other extreme anti-choicers most definitely hide more truth from women than Planned Parenthood.

    Choose a different method. Attacking Planned Parenthood does no one any good.
