During his appearance on Leno this week, President Obama again pushed the lie that Planned Parenthood provides mammograms.
"That organization [Planned Parenthood] provides millions of women with cervical cancer screenings, mammograms."
The problem? They don't. Planned Parenthood admitted last week that they do not offer the procedure in their clinics.
The Planned Parenthood abortion business put out a statement in response to this week’s pushback against President Barack Obama for his misleading statement in the Tuesday night debate claiming it does mammograms.
“There are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings,” Obama claimed during the debate.
The statement goes on at length to talk about the referrals Planned Parenthood makes for women — referrals that women can obtain at any legitimate medical health provider that does not also destroy lives in abortions.
“Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses refer patients to other facilities for mammograms.”
LiveAction proved they don't provide mammograms at Planned Parenthood clinics months ago by making simple phone calls.
And finally, FactCheck.org classified Obama's statement about mammograms at the second debate, which is the same statement he made on Leno this week, as untrue.
At the second presidential debate, President Obama said that women “rely on” Planned Parenthood for mammograms. Actually, mammograms are not performed at the clinics; Planned Parenthood doctors and nurses conduct breast exams and refer patients to other facilities for mammograms.
Obama said: “When Governor Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, there are millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for not just contraceptive care. They rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings.”
Obama used a similar line again on Oct. 18, telling a Manchester, N.H., crowd: “Governor Romney said he’d end funding for Planned Parenthood, despite all the work it does to provide women with mammograms and breast cancer screenings.”
Women can’t walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics don’t have mammography equipment.
