Planned Parenthood Closings — “We Praise God”

Traci Coston Ministries comments: This number could rise to 200 clinics in the next 1-2 years nationwide if current federal defunding remain in effect! We praise God for working through politics and the lives that will be saved, but ultimately, only a change of heart in people is what creates lasting change.

I wouldn’t count too heavily on a “change of heart in people” with respect to Planned Parenthood; this organization is regarded quite highly outside of the realm of religious zealots.

Abortion services make up 4% of all the health services they provide, and federal funds rarely go toward abortion care (only in cases of rape, incest, and life-threatening situations).

This means that 96% of services are birth control and a wide variety of women’s health issues, e.g., cancer screening.
