Planned parenthood does not do mammograms - StLucieBengal - 08-03-2015 Was watching cspan 2 and Senator Lankford shows where pp doesn't even do any mammograms. They refer people out. They don't even do what they claim they do... Just crazy.

They refer people out. Not sure where they claimed they do mammograms. But correct, they do not. The reason is because of the cost for the specialized equipment and technicians to perform them. It is cost prohibitive to them to maintain them at their clinics.

Matter of fact I think Obama claimed Abortion Centers do "millions" of mammograms.

They seem to have taken down their website, other than the donate buttons of course lol RE: Planned parenthood does not do mammograms - GMDino - 08-03-2015 (08-03-2015, 07:47 PM)bfine32 Wrote: I don't think PP claims to do this.

Yes doing the physical examinations and referring those who may need to it have a mammogram. Of course there are other kinds of cancer then can test for. But who cares when we can save some money? http://www.factcheck.org/2012/10/planned-parenthood-and-mammograms/ Quote:Women can’t walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics don’t have mammography equipment. Planned Parenthood performs gynecological exams, including breast exams, and refers women to other facilities to have mammograms performed, much like women are referred to radiological centers by their gynecologists or primary care physicians. But don't got there. They talk about abortion services and really that's the only reason you want them shut down. Doesn't matter what harm biting off your nose to spite your face will do. Right?

If you are above their income limits, which is not much here, then you are SOL. My wife was working, but was considered part time (adjunct faculty) and so uninsured, but she made too much to go to the clinic. She wasn't eligible for Medicaid or any other assistance in regards to health care, all of it had to be out of pocket.
