The Charlotte Lozier Institute recently analyzed the number of Planned Parenthood centers compared to the number of community health centers that provide care for women in the US. Researchers found that for every Planned Parenthood center there are fifteen alternative community health centers serving similar demographics and providing real healthcare for women. As Congress considers a budget proposal that would cut federal funding to all centers that provide abortion, including Planned Parenthood, this research is especially important.
For years Planned Parenthood has claimed to provide a variety of care for women, while almost exclusively providing abortions. Critics of defunding the abortion giant argue women won’t have access to healthcare, but the Institute’s analysis proves that’s not the case. Wisconsin has one hundred fifty-eight community health centers and just twenty-one Planned Parenthood locations.
