Planned Parenthood postures for bigger place at the trough

A hog never backs away from the trough, and neither does Planned Parenthood. Raging like a boar in a perpetual feeding frenzy, the abortion giant obsessively gnashes, grunts, bullies, and pushes, caring not who it tramples to get a bigger share of the spoils.

Witness Planned Parenthood of the Heartland's latest ploy in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to add a few medical services in order to gain a bigger place at the government trough, via Obamacare and spin-off funding.

Tulsa World recently ran an article saying that PP in Tulsa is adding "family practice."

Planned Parenthood's website shows three Tulsa Planned Parenthood practices at the same address - Midtown Health Center: Family Planning, an abortion referral center; Midtown Health Center: Pediatrics, an abortion referral center; and Midtown Health Center: Prenatal, an abortion referral center. It also lists South Peoria Health Center, Tulsa, an abortion referral center; and Westside Health Center, Tulsa, an abortion referral center.

A look at the "services" at each Tulsa facility on the PP website shows a very limited amount of "general health care" available at the Midtown center and the Westside facility, including anemia testing, cholesterol screening, diabetes screening, flu vaccination, high blood pressure screening, and smoking cessation. Just enough, perhaps, to qualify it as a primary care facility in anticipation of more money from Obamacare.

The "pediatrics" center offers additional children's vaccines, sports and physical exams, thyroid screenings, in addition to "primary care" for routine, well-child checkups, and sick-child care. Then it warns that payment is expected at the time of service, unless prior arrangements have been made or one can qualify for a state-funded program.

By expanding into areas other than abortion and birth control, Planned Parenthood reaches to gain primary caregiver status, ensuring that individuals can choose the abortion giant as their primary care provider under Obamacare. It can utilize staff that is already on hand to do so, thus gaining millions of dollars in income with minimal outlay.

The abortion giant's share of taxpayer money and government-mandated private money continues to grow, even as public confidence in the abortion superstore wanes.

That means Planned Parenthood will be greatly assisted by Obamacare in its efforts at cultivating generations of sex addicts to fuel its business.

Never content with the alpha pig's share, PP then moans: "Unfortunately, the health care reform bill also included a renewal of $50 million per year funding of Title V abstinence-only education for states until 2014. Planned Parenthood is continuing our work with our supporters, youth activists, and policymakers to put an end to this ineffective program."

Not willing to wait at the trough, the big pig known as Planned Parenthood never takes a break. When it climbs in the mud, it is there to sling it on people of good will in order to increase its own girth.
