Planned Parenthood: Hospitals Are Dangerous

Swedish Health Services and Providence Health & Services, a Catholic healthcare organization, have tried over the last decade to find a way to join forces to provide the best possible medical services at Seattle’s Swedish Hospital. They’re poised to come to a historic agreement that would allow both organizations to do the most good for everyone, but controversy has crept in because, as part of the agreement, Swedish is committing to not perform elective abortions.

NOW is in an uproar that any hospital anywhere would dare to not provide abortions. But Planned Parenthood is actually excited about the move. Why? Why else: money.

Swedish is helping to underwrite the costs of a new Planned Parenthood facility in Seattle, supposedly built to handle the scads of women who will be turned away when the new policies are implemented. But in the face of such a gift at the hands of the hospital establishment, Planned Parenthood inexplicably lashes out at hospitals for infringing on their abortion turf.

They claim they’ve perfected the quick in-and-out abortion, but they also claim to give the most attentive and loving patient care. They claim that hospital abortions are somehow more dangerous than abortions at their facilities, but these hospitals are the very places to which Planned Parenthood regularly rushes their clients when they botch the procedure.
