The new president of Planned Parenthood spent her first official day on the job touting her organization’s delivery of “life-saving healthcare,” but failing to mention its primary service and biggest moneymaker is abortion.

In a friendly interview with CBS This Morning hosts, Dr. Leana Wen said Monday Planned Parenthood has been “saving people’s lives” for “over 100 years.”
By way of example, Wen said she once treated a woman “who waited more than a year before she had a lump in her breast examined.”
“And by the time she got treated, it was too late,” she continued. “She had metastatic cancer and she died not long after I saw her, leaving behind three young children.”
“For me, that’s what it’s about,” she said. “It’s about saving people’s lives.”
The same woman, if she truly wanted treatment, however, could have gone to any number of federally qualified community health centers– which do not provide abortions – to have more comprehensive health care services than those offered by Planned Parenthood. These health centers outnumber Planned Parenthood clinics 20 to 1.

Planned Parenthood’s healthcare services, in fact, have been declining in number over the past several years as the group has placed politics above health care delivery.
The organization’s most recent annual report for 2016-2017 shows Planned Parenthood continues to perform over 320,000 abortions per year while offering minimal services, such as ultrasounds during pregnancy, and other necessary services needed by low-income pregnant women who want to have a healthy baby.
The number of prenatal services during 2016-2017 dropped to 7,762 – a 17 percent decline from the 9,419 performed during 2015-2016. In 2014-2015, Planned Parenthood claimed 17,419 prenatal services.
The organization, however, boosted its profits in 2016-2017 by $21 million – 27 percent – from the previous year as Planned Parenthood also took in nearly $544 million in taxpayer funding.
Planned Parenthood has also touted its “innovations” in health care in its latest annual report. The group includes in this category a “gender neutral” app that helps individuals keep track of their menstrual periods and birth control, and the fact that its affiliates in 17 states now offer hormone treatments for individuals who are uncomfortable with their biological sex and claim to be transgender.
CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King asked Wen if she had been “encouraged after the [midterm] elections.”
“Yes and no,” Wen replied. “On the one hand, we saw people – women, people of color – rise up to speak in favor of reproductive rights and access to health care.”
“But on the other hand, less than 24 hours after the election, the Trump administration came out with new rules that would allow employers to deny women birth control coverage,” she added. “I can’t believe it’s 2018 and we’re still debating birth control. Imagine if we’re having the same conversation about vasectomies or about insulin. Women’s health care is health care, and health care shouldn’t be political.”

Tracking Trump

Birth control, however, can be obtained by most Americans for a minimal cost. Wen and her organization celebrated Obamacare because the reform declared birth control an “essential preventive service,” rather than a lifestyle choice for people who choose to have sex.
Last week, the Trump administration released a final rule that protects religious and moral objectors to Obamacare’s contraceptive mandate that required most employers to provide free birth control, abortion-inducing drugs, and sterilization procedures to employees in health insurance plans.
The Trump Department of Health and Human Services also released a second rule that directs those who sell Obamacare health insurance plans that provide coverage for elective abortions to collect a separate payment from enrollees for that coverage, as is already required by law. The Obama administration failed to enforce the law and allowed collection of abortion coverage together with regular premiums.
Though, in a fundraising email to Planned Parenthood supporters made available to Breitbart News, Wen continued the narrative that “health care shouldn’t be political,” the new president showed she is in political lobbying mode for abortion rights and free birth control:
Right now, the attacks we’re seeing on reproductive rights — like restrictions on birth control access, abortion bans, and the Trump-Pence administration’s “gag rule” attempt to stop providers from even referring their patients for abortion care — are threatening the health of tens of millions of people.
“Even with a host of diverse, inspiring leaders taking office in Congress next year, we are still in a state of emergency for reproductive health care in this country,” she insisted. “More and more, where you live and how much money you make determine whether you can access birth control, abortion, and other essential care.”

Every now and then the pundits predict correctly. This time around Democrats didn't win the House as much as the Republicans lost it.
In an election that should have favored the Republicans — with a booming economy and low unemployment — the party of Reagan failed to define itself successfully or accomplish much with their majority. Republican leadership’s will to fight, in both chambers, has been sporadic for years. They have risen to the occasion on occasion, such as confirming two Supreme Court Justices and passing the first large tax cut bills in over a decade. Yet a lack of cohesive leadership has led to noticeable letdowns such as the failure to repeal ObamaCare as well as defund abortion-giant Planned Parenthood.  
Republican leadership was so focused on highlighting what they accomplished that they missed the growing frustration of the electorate at opportunities squandered. 
Donald Trump won the Republican nomination and presidency because of his willingness to fight for his constituents’ objectives even if it meant upsetting the status quo — this is the type of leadership the Republicans need to dig themselves out of the hole they are in right now. 
No pro-life protection will be safe with the Democrats now in control of the House and the Republicans will need to play constant defense. The administration will constantly be defending itself against subpoenas and impeachment threats. And all the great things this administration has done for the cause of life, from reducing the U.S. taxpayer dollars going to foreign abortion entities to proposing new Title X rules protecting the unborn, will be under fire.
The likely new chairs of House committees will be the most radically pro-abortion rights in our country’s history. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), who is a sponsor of the Medicare for All Act, may well head the Judiciary Committee where a number of pro-life concerns are addressed. The Medicare for All Act would eliminate private insurance (resulting in 153 million Americans losing coverage according to Vox) as well as eliminate the remaining protections that keep taxpayers from paying directly for abortions. 
Prospective Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called campaign finance one of the Democrats’ top priorities. In the past Democrats put forth a bill dealing with "campaign finance" that was nothing more than an attempt to silence conservative activists. Going forward, any bill dealing with campaign finance would originate in the House Finance Committee, now likely to be headed up by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). Considering that Rep. Waters — no stranger to campaign finance violation investigations — has called for the public harassment of supporters of President Donald Trump, it is likely any legislation would target conservative non-profits and leave unions protected.
But most of the assaults on the pro-life cause will originate within the powerful House Appropriations Committee. The likely new chair, Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) is a sponsor of the radical Medicare for All Act and has long been an opponent of protections for the unborn. We can expect many of the pro-life protections found in Appropriation bills, as well as pro-life administration policies, to be in jeopardy.
On the Senate side, leadership should speed up the pace on judicial and executive branch nominations. Instead of trumpeting how many nominees have been already confirmed, imagine how many more confirmations would have occurred had they worked Mondays and Fridays, like most Americans.
President Trump should follow the lead of two of his predecessors, Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and immediately issue a veto threat should any standing pro-life policies be stripped from legislation. The Trump administration could also fill out appointments in the various departments to accomplish more of the president’s agenda. Health and Human Services needs to finalize the numerous conscience regulations dealing with abortifacients as well as health-care worker rights and finalize the rules to protect tax dollars from going to abortion providers through the Title X family planning program. 
But make no mistake, incoming Speaker Pelosi’s priority will be to repay favors now owed to special interest groups on the left who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into this election to achieve a Democrat victory. Now is the time for pro-life members in both chambers to shrug off their innate wariness of actual engagement and stand up for the issues they have always run on. Historically, being in the minority is when you see champions arise and the Republicans are in dire need of such leaders.
Tom McClusky is the president of March for Life Action, which is a pro-life organization.

“I Cut the Vocal Cord So The Baby Can't Scream.”


Dr. Leah Torres, an OB/GYN in Salt Lake City, Utah, said that when she performs certain abortions she cuts the vocal cord of the baby so "there's really no opportunity" for the child to scream. She also described herself as a "uterus ripper outer" because she performs hysterectomies.
