Planned Parenthood CEO’s False Mammogram Claim Exposed
By , Published March 30th, 2011

Contact: Kate Bryan, 323.454.3304, media@liveaction.org

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 30–A series of new undercover phone calls reveals that contrary to the claims of Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards and other supporters of the nation’s largest abortion chain, the organization does not provide mammograms for women.

In the tapes, a Live Action actor calls 30 Planned Parenthood clinics in 27 different states, inquiring about mammograms at Planned Parenthood. Every Planned Parenthood, without exception, tells her she will have to go elsewhere for a mammogram, and many clinics admit that no Planned Parenthood clinics provide this breast cancer screening procedure. “We don’t provide those services whatsoever,” admits a staffer at Planned Parenthood of Arizona. Planned Parenthood’s Comprehensive Health Center clinic in Overland Park, KS explains to the caller, “We actually don’t have a, um, mammogram machine, at our clinics.”

Opponents of defunding Planned Parenthood have argued in Congress and elsewhere that the organization provides many vital health care services other than abortion, such as mammograms. Most prominently, Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards recently appeared on The Joy Behar Show to oppose the Pence Amendment to end Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer subsidies, claiming, “If this bill ever becomes law, millions of women in this country are gonna lose their healthcare access–not to abortion services–to basic family planning, you know, mammograms.”

The calls were recorded by Live Action, the youth-led pro-life group responsible for recent undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood staff, from management on down, willing to aid and abet the sex trafficking of young girls at 7 clinics in 4 different states. Live Action president Lila Rose says the new recordings further confirm Planned Parenthood’s corruption: “Planned Parenthood is first and foremost an abortion business, but Planned Parenthood and its allies will say almost anything to try and cover up that fact and preserve its taxpayer funding. It’s not surprising that an organization found concealing statutory rape and helping child sex traffickers would misrepresent its own services so brazenly, playing on women’s fears in order to protect their tax dollars.”

Former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson notes that the recordings demonstrate Planned Parenthood is not a comprehensive health care provider. “For so long PP has touted that they are a provider of mammogram services.  This is just one of the lies that PP uses to draw people into their clinics.  PP is not able to provide quality services on their own, so they are forced to lie to the public about services they don’t provide–and mammograms are just one of those services.”

Both Rose and Johnson call on Congress to revoke all taxpayer subsidies from Planned Parenthood. In the last reported year, Planned Parenthood received $363 million in government money.

    WHile PP doesn’t perform MG screenings in-house, they do refer AND PAY for you do have a MG elsewhere.

      Mammogram referral isn’t the same as providing mammograms. Why didn’t she say that outright? “Intentional misleading” is included in “deceit.”

      ARE THEY PAYING YOU TO LIE TOO? THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ANYONE TO KILL AN UNBORN BABY…NO MATTER WHAT!!! YOU CAN GET A FREE MAMMOGRAM AT ANY WOMEN’S CLINIC BASED ON YOUR INCOME—-WITHOUT HAVING THE CLINIC MURDER INNOCENT BABIES!! IT SICKENS ME HOW THEY GO TO THEIR SO-CALLED JOB EACH DAY…KNOWING THEY ARE GOING TO COMMIT A LEGALIZED MURDER!!  OBAMA ENDORSES THIS AND SPENDS FEDERAL FUNDS TO TO THESE UNSPEAKABLE ACTS!! VOTE HIM OUT IN “2012″!! NO ONE SHOULD PLAY “GOD”!!! GOD IS OUR CREATOR…AND ONLY HE SHOULD DECIDE WHEN AN INNOCENT UNBORN SHOULD GO FROM THIS EARTH!!

        If a 12 year old girl is raped and becomes pregnant, her age puts her at high risk if she gives birth. No child should have to go through that kind of pain and danger. The fetus does not a have a central nervous system in the early stages, when abortions should be preformed, and therefore cannot endure pain or think or see. In other situations, sometimes a fetus can be found to have birth defects that will stop it from surviving after birth. To prevent a short and painful life after birth, the woman can choose to have an abortion.
        As for playing God, if you believe that a person should have no choice in the life of another person, then you should be equally outraged by medicine and life support, because they “play God” by extending someone’s life by unnatural means.
        Finally, PP is a service payed for by the government because it provides health services for poor people. While they may not have the actual mammograms, they do pay for it. Planned Parenthood is important for thousands of women who rely on it for health care because they cannot afford insurance.
        OPEN YOUR EYES. Stop living in a world where everything is black and white. Abortions are horrible, and should be a last option, but it is a choice that women in this country should be able to make for themselves if it’s needed. You don’t know every circumstance and clearly you also don’t understand how PP works or why thousands of women rely on it for health care and rarely rely on it for abortions.

          It is a HUMAN LIFE from the moment of conception, with a complete set of human DNA. It is not our place to capriciously end that life. If abortion were limited to those cases when it is to save the life of the mother, the number performed would be but a tiny fraction of the slaughter that goes on daily, mostly for the sake of convenience. 

          Planned Parenthood kills 1000s more woman every day than breast cancer ever could.

        • http://twitter.com/LadyTraynor Angela Traynor

          The incidence of pregnancy from rape is minuscule.  Statistically, it is insignificant.  It is an idiotic argument.   In any case, it would never be justification for destroying the life of another human.   The “fetus” is a human fetus.  The odds of a young girl having life long guilt over having destroyed an unborn child are far greater than any risk in her carrying a child to term and letting someone adopt it.  

          What is this “central nervous system” crap?  That is even more insane than your pregnancy from rape scenario.  

        • Coo Per16

          do you realize that actual pro abortion groups gathered info about the reasons women get abortions (so obviously it wasnt biased by pro lifers) and less than 1% of all abortions were done because of rape or incest? and less than 3% because of medical problems. the rest? simply because women wanted it done.

    so u take part of a sentence and prove that wrong (so planned parenthod is the devil? really)..ok yes planned parenthood does not provide mammograms but it does provide pap smears, hiv/ std  testing, certain medications, they provide diabetes testing, the Gardisil vaccination, birth control…and yes abortions. You may argue why not go to another free health clinic easy i rather wait 2 hours to be seen then 2 months for my health. And they provide free health care.

      Before Roe v Wade, women didn’t have millions of abortions, and millions of  women didn’t use coat hangers to abort their unborn child. It was a rare occurrence even among hookers. Women exercised choice with birth control and abstinence. Since Roe v Wade millions of innocent children have been murdered. It is also a fact that Abortion clinics post a annual profits so why support them with tax dollars?

      • Anonymous

        Before Roe v. Wade, hundreds of women died annually from illegal (read- unsafe) abortions. They were almost always poorer women. Women who could afford it simply went to their regular doctor, who would perform the procedure and charge them accordingly. If you make abortion illegal, it will still happen, just in more dangerous ways.

        • Me

          So we should make murder legal so that it’ll be safer for the murderer?

  • Ronald Patrick McLaughlin

    How evil does mankind have to get? For all those who commit this crime, only God knows what justice is adequate. How someone who is alive, can permit or condone that someone else is denied life, is to me the ultimate evil action. How selfish also, is the actions of those who acquiese to such treatment of life and openly support it. For all those that do, just think how your parents did not abort you before you support the abortion of others. Heaven help those who agree with this evil. Deception is at the heart of it. Satan is at the heart of it. To deny a soul life under one’s own free will is to challenge creation itself. God bless all at Live Action for taking a stand against this evil.

    Not a surprise, Planned Parenthood is a business to absorb government dollars and spend it on death. They know Mammograms will waste time from death.   Abortions on the other hand, great profit margins too!  Freakin cowards, Planned Parenthood can go to hell!

    To kill a person is murder.  They all need to be shut down, arrested and sent to prison.  Not one person should be excused from this deed against God.

    I do not believe that abortion is the answer, but what is the answer to the rampant promiscuity the disintigration of the nuclear family the indifference of overburdened under employed uneducated hopeless poor who do not have the judgement to seek a more productive life? Is it the Martyerdom of thier children? I see stories every day about children that probebly wish they hadnt ever been born. that dosnt even include the more subtle torture inflicted through neglect.

    We have to confess that Ndamukong Suh
    is well-known around the league, and the Detroit
    Lions defensive tackle wears Custom NFL Jerseys
    and has been everywhere during the NFL lockout. Wearing nfl custom jerseys, Suh has ever been
    present in his summer camp, local Subway stores and racing cars in Europe. Of course, there is another place where Suh must
    appear website station,  Although not wearing
    customized nfl
    jerseys    , Suh didn’t take an interview atwebsite station.
    In Suh’s personal opinion, the biggest benefit the work stoppage has brought
    with is mental break. Wearing authentic NFL jerseys, Suh said, “I don’t think
    anything is more affected than our minds in the game of football. Obviously,
    we’re well-tuned athletes, or we wouldn’t be in the position that we are, but
    mentally, if you’re not into it and you can’t focus, there’s not way you can
    physically get it done.” Of course, it’s exactly right for Ndamukong Suh
    to take mental break during the lockout, so that he could keep mental spirit in
    shape for the upcoming season. So Suh wears Custom NFL Jerseys
    and will probably be a influence-maker.

    Just amazing how many layers exist within companies so that the average person really has no idea what might be behind a company.  Thank you for digging into this for us and exposing it.  I would have never had any idea that the Susan G. Komen Foundation had a relationship with Planned Parenthood.

  • Anonymous

    Here’s my thought..if Susan G. Komen is giving them so much money and our government is giving them so much money, then how come they don’t use that money to BUY the mammogram machines and to pay technicians to read them….do you want to know why??  Because Planned Parenthood uses the money to get rich ( a billion dollar non profit?) and they make more money doing abortions (hear that lady say “no we are just a “surgical facility” ..surgical facility means abortions..and they contract out the doctors and all women pay by cash or credit card…(no checks!) the services they do give you are their way of getting you IN THEIR BUILDING and to GAIN YOUR TRUST! Planned Parenthood is all about abortion! and…..the money SKG and the US Government has given them is enough to help them do mammograms..but they do not..in any Planned Parenthood facility anywhere! Abortion is death to a baby and makes PP rich…is it pure and simple greed and nothing more!

    • Bannon

      Because USING the machine is expensive and a procedure costs more than a poor woman can afford to pay. PP does the responsible thing and, rather than owning expensive equipment that is redundant in their communities, they PAY FOR THE SERVICE for poor women.

      You chumps can see all of PP’s books on line, just as you can for any other 501(c)3. If you really cared about this question, you would have learned this and looked up those books by now. 

      But no. All you want is an excuse to hate women. Especially poor women.

      Your hating Jesus is really Satan, you gruesome Satanists. 

      • Anonymous

        Planned Parenthood makes hundreds of millions of dollars in “PROFIT each year…yes, profit! Their CEO gets paid 250K a year..they can afford to have mammogram machines in their bigger facilities for what they make women pay for abortions (468+ for each abortion with At least 20 abortions a day!) Good grief! We don’t hate women…there are thousands of other medicaid facilties that serve poor needy women in every single state! LOTS OF THEM..so they are not being let out to dry! The problemm with PP is that they are the ones who got mad over all this! Komen tried to severe the ties quietly but it was PP who went to the press and made the squeal! If PP cared about women, they would offer mammograms (of course, they’d have to pay the technologists) but this is Komen’s money that is paying for this and PP was funneling the money through their doors to OTHER facilities to do the mammograms..If THEY would do them, the probably wouldn’t have lost the funds. As for the federal investigation, it is well know that PP books their books by bundling services and overbills medicaid for services so they can get more money. It is also well know by women who have had abortions with them, that they rarely offer the woman a chance to see an ultrasound and they rarely tell a woman she doesn’t have to get an abortion..All Planned Parenthood directors have been told to up their abortion numbers. Komen cares about this because medical studies have linked abortion to breast cancer incidence. Sorry, We are not Satanists. We are the ones who help the women get over their ‘fear” of handling her crisis and give her other options besides abortion and whenever a woman chooses life for her child, she eliminates the lifetime of regret of killing her child…and..that added bonus, she reduces her chance of getting breast cancer! Komen did the right thing..I stand by their decision 100% and all of us who support women’s right to choose life, have let Komen know we are proud of them. They have gotten 100% increase in donations in 24 hours AND they have our admiration. PP has done themselves in by their own doing. The more they bully other organizations who don’t agree with their abortion increases and lack of total care for women (no they don’t give counseling AFTER the abortion…they just tell the woman to go see her doctor after she’s injured or crying b/c she made a mistake) PP is all about money…and now they have turned this into an “emergency fundraiser”…..their true colors are showing. They are the bullies that use women to make money! I got one thing to say, “Planned Parenthood…cry me a river!”

        • Bannon

          You repeat so many silly lies. Shame on you. And yes, you serve Satan, whether you are aware of it or not, so long as you dismiss a woman’s ability and RIGHT to decide for herself. Who are you to decide for her? No one, as you well know.

             I find it fascinating that name calling and making people out to be something they are not, on both sides of this issue,  is supposed to get us at the truth.  If there were facts presented here in a rational reasonable discussion, it would be hugely helpful.

          • Anonymous

            name calling will get you nowhere.. no where in the constitution does it say that a woman as a right to kill her child. period. The Constitution says all human being have the right to life “endowed by our Creator” God gives life no matter how that baby is conceived it has the right to live.  the human being in the womb is a separate human being and a person in development, not a tumor and certainly NOT a blob of tissue. As a result of ultrasound, we know that it is a living being and no person should have the right to kill it…So don’t give me that crap..as for working for Satan, that’s Planned Parenthood’s job. Satan adesires to kill all human being because he knows they are created in God’s image! Satan hates to see a baby live…and women who get abortions rarely “decide for themselves”..the boyfriend, the father, the doctor and PP counselors often coerce her into doing it.(yes, some women “choose” but  it’s usually the boyfriend screaming about how the baby is going to ruin his life and puts pressure on the female to abort!) Get off it, Abortion is a “choice to kill a child”. tell it like it is! And obviously, you know little about Satan or you wouldn’t be telling us we serve him. Go to a Satanic worship service were they “sacrifice animals and sometimes innocent children” sorry, not much interested in serving him. The child in the womb who is killed dies in the name of “choice” …what about the child’s choice to live his/her life???? Sad indeed. God help us when killing the innocent unborn children is okay.

            Actually, every woman I know who got pregnant at a young age was pressured to have her child. Most of the women I know dropped out of the school and never went back. None of them are still with the fathers of their children.
            On the other hand, the women I know who have chosen not to have their children have gone on to be educated or to work a decent job, and most have had children that they can actually support some time later, unlike my friends who went ahead with unplanned pregnancies due to pressure from family, friends, or churches. 
            While its true that the constitution does not give anyone the right to kill, it also doesn’t define life, so while you have the right to decide to go through with every pregnancy you will ever have, the rest of use do not have to, and we do not have to consider it murder because the constitution also gives us the right to any beliefs we desire.
            It is murder by religion (and really only yours), but not my science or law.

            It is people like you that believe a live baby is not a person with no right to life.. tell me, at what age should it be legal to kill a child? How is “after birth abortion” an abortion? It is not.. It is murder just like the dispicable practice that came before it.

          • breandyn

            Who performs after birth abortions? Where? What on earth are you talking about? So few abortions are performed after 20 weeks gestation that they are, if performed, just about 100% due to the pregnancy threatening the life of the woman and the child.

            Check your facts. Don’t just throw percentages out there like you know what you’re talking about. 1% of abortions are a result of the Mothers Health OR rape. And so what? Because they are less than 20 weeks they aren’t human yet? Where you not a human in your mama’s belly? You are foolish to think that at any point in the womb you aren’t human….what were you? A parasite? A tumor? You ask your doctor sugar.

          • Anne

            Where have you been lately??? READ THE NEWS!!! After-birth abortions are happening every minute of every day! Your facts are so completely WRONG!! Less than 1 percent of pregnancies are conceived in rape, incest OR considered threatening to the life of a woman, so that means 99 percent of the abortions that are happening are for other reasons. President Obama AND Prime Minister Stephen Harper both voted NO to laws banning live-birth abortions – they are happening – always.

            What you are really saying…is that you want mothers to have the right to kill their own children. Plain and simple. It doesn’t matter the circumstances, if it’s about school (how ridiculous), or career, or if the child is deformed or not perfect, the list goes on and on. It doesn’t change the fact that SCIENCE has proven that this is a life. This “clump of cells” is a human, you are a walking clump of cells, if you go into a coma or are physically deformed, should we kill you?

          • Libilicious_07

            1.-please dont place a satanic label on people, thats not your job, it’s Gods’. dont talk about judging when thats what you’re doing right there. 
            2.- the bible says plain as day, “thou shalt not kill, whomever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement”there is NO denying that abortion is the death of a lifeform that would eventually become a person. Ergo, killing a baby.3.-babies are a BLESSING, no matter how they came to be! I got pregnant with my daughter two months after i turned 18, I had just graduated high school, and had only been with my boyfriend for a few months, but that baby is now a five year old about to go into kindergarden, and my boyfriend has been my husband for four years this october. I could not imagine life without my little girl.4.-a pregnancy caused by a rape is horrible, i agree, but “losing your body” is a small price to pay in exchange for someone’s LIFE. If your mother had aborted you, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation, now would we?Trust me, I know all about unplanned pregnancies being “inconvenient” , alot of the women in my family had pregnancies that werent convenient, but if they hadnt kept those babies, i wouldnt be alive! Its simply not worth the cost. If you dont want the baby, give it up, it’s as simple as that, at least give it the courtesy of living.No human being has any right to deny life to another, regardless of any surrounding circumstances.

            Every abortion involves stopping a heart from beating.  You can deny it, rely on the rhetoric of the fanatical or admit it and decide if that is OK with you.

        • DianneR

          If Planned Parenthood made hundreds of millions of dollars a year in profit, they would no longer exist as a non profit. The CEO of such a huge operation deserves that kind of salary as much as the CEO of a for profit organization does. Just because an organization is a not for profit does not mean they shouldn’t pay their employees. People need to do some research before they repeat the untruths that are rampant on both sides out there.

        Bannon, Jesus was accussed of being possessed by the devil.  People who did not understand him thought this way.  I think you haven’t read what Jesus did for the poor and outcasts and especially for women, otherwise you would not have made the last two comments.

        THEY ARE LYING! Isn’t that the biggest point here? Yes using the machine is expensive, blah blah, but they are lying about it, saying THEY offer mammograms to women and protect women and save them from cancer, but they don’t! If they lie about this, what else are they lying about?

      Do you think that Susan G. Korman is not a billion dollar non profit?

      • Anne

        But case after case is showing Planned Parenthood taking money out for their own purposes, not just as a living expense…but millions! If they are so much about “helping women” and protecting women – why would they use that second mansion they live in and instead buy mammogram machines? Or help MORE women? Because they are about money.

    Liars, liar, shame on you. Those of you out there who are still deceived; Planned Parenthood  is about abortion. Hear, listen, understand.

    • Republicanistan

      so so sad you are that you refuse to think.

      • Me

        Since when are you capable of thinking in the first place?

    • Leaeblack

      Planned Parenthood is the largest supporter of abortions in the US.  Perhaps before you call people liars you should do some research of your own!

    No, not all PP have mammography on site, but all DO have referral services and PAY for mammograms. This move by the Susan G Komen foundation is going to backfire badly. They’ll have to change their motto to “Mammograms for only those who can afford to pay for one”.

    • Agrunk

      I think you’ll find local clinics, espcially low income clinics, can find way to help people and still can receive grants and funding or do referrals that would still be covered under different types of funding.  It isn’t like the buck stops here with Planned Parenthood.  Besides, it’s often that groups stop associating themselves with organizations in question- in investigations.  This money will go somewhere else but still help people. Since Planned Parenthood has already raised money to cover this, why is anyone worried.  They obviously got different funding for there referral service.  It think the abortion and breast cancer link is also a good reason for the two organizations to not be connected. 

    • Leaeblack

      This is an old boring argument.  Rape and incest are less than 3% of abortions.  The number 1 reason for abortion is the inconvenience and financial impact of having a child.  Mr. Bob, have you had a vasectomy in order to protect women from having an unwanted child in their body?  If not, why do you see yourself not liable for the consequences of pregnancy?  Men always weigh in on this issue as if they are supporting  women’s health.  If you really care, be responsible yourself!

    This doesn’t address where a poor woman gets a breast exam or a mammogram for that matter. It says that Planned Parenthood doesn’t offer mammograms. Most gynecologist don’t have mammogram machine in their offices. They send patients to a radiologist to get them. Mammograms aren’t part of a woman’s yearly check up where a breast exam and pap smear is done by a doctor to catch and prevent cancer. It’s usually done after a lump is found to help diagnose. Now if Susan Koman is offering to FUND mammograms at Planned Parenthood, I’m sure they’d take the offer. After all, some local governments are taking away funding from Planned Parenthood.

    Oh my!  Come on America wake up!  Is there really any surprise that the organization that leads a modern day holocaust of slaughtering precious, innocent, defenseless babies would lie to the Komen foundation??  You don’t say.

    • Elaine Spencer

      Planned Parenthood did not lie.  This article is a lie!

      • Bruno

        How did this article lie? Please enlighten me

        • Republicanistan

          Planned Parenthood pays for the referral. They do not have radiological services at all of their clinics. PP never said they do the procedure, just that they provide the ability for their patients to get one as part of their care.

          • Me

            In other words, it’s a waste of taxpayer money to give to Planned Parenthood.

          • don

            That is not what the president said last night

          • Jennie

            Actually Planned Parenthood constantly says, “we protect our women and save women by offering them mammograms.”

      • Angela

        Prove it, Elaine!
