Planned parenthood provides much more than abortions. They can offer tests, screenings, checkups, std tests etc.
@9FB67NT8mos8MO
No, because that is not their main focus. They get money from the government for abortion. There are many other pregnancy centers that offer those tests without abortion.

While it's true that Planned Parenthood provides abortion services, it's important to note that federal funding cannot be used for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or when the woman's life is in danger, as per the Hyde Amendment. Also, abortions make up only about 3% of the services Planned Parenthood provides, with the rest being crucial healthcare services like STI testing, cancer screening and family planning.
However, it is also true that there are other centers that offer similar services. But can we ensure that these centers are equally accessible and affordable to all, especially those in rural or low-income areas where Planned Parenthood often serves as the primary healthcare provider? What do you think can be done to improve access to these services outside of Planned Parenthood?

“it's important to note that federal funding cannot be used for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or when the woman's life is in danger, as per the Hyde Amendment.”
You are completely correct that it is only used for rape, etc. But most woman claim rape, incest, etc they cannot fathom bringing a child into the world and claim these things to justify getting an abortion. Thus giving planned parenthood the money from the government.
