A) Gemmini is a Subisidary of Planned Parenthood which the city knew.
B) The news claims Planned Parenthood is out to make money, and charege everyone for everything full price inlcuding pregancy tests. The truth is that Planned Parenthood works on a sliding scale to give women health care. You pay what you can afford, and if that is nothing you pay nothing. It is more important to screen for cancer and prevent STI's and unwanted preganancies. In fact all HIV testing is free and anoymous.
C) They claim Planned Parenthood made almost $305 million dollars last year off imppresionable teenage girls they lured in. The figure is clolser $30.5 million from women and men of all ages who can't afford health insurance.
There are several other small lies in there as well. Basically Fox is promoting the relgious right's propoganda and scaring away women from getting health care they need.

I saw that contention saying that it was a Non-profit that claimed 60 million in profits, and that there's something wrong with that - and the 305mill of it's funding was from tax dollars (not revenue sources) that was from the 2:30 from the end time marker. What time marker was talking about the 'taking advantage of impressionable teenage girls?' - if anything it seemed that the news clip was specificially mentioning that PP was overly protective and secretive (to the dismay of parents).
Planned Parenthood is protective when it comes to their workers. They build clinics under subsidary names because the opostion has a history of violence and harrasment towards employee's and contractors. They are protective of their patients because they have had problems with the opostion's side blocking people's entrance into the building (not an issue as much here because of the private drive). However if they wanted to be secretive about what they did they wouldn't advertise that they provide health care and coprehensive services of all options on local TV.
As a side note if this were a casino or school building under a subisdary company %99 of the public probably wouldn't care. I also don't care if FOX wants to take a side, all news stations do, but I do ask they get their facts correct and present the news as it is, and then state their OPINIONS later.
It's one thing for Fox to have a negative opinion of Planned Parenthood, but putting out false information like this is slander. What really gets me is that they don't take the time to ask why Planned Parenthood needs to put in bullet-proof glass. How can anyone claim to be pro-life and go around shooting patients and doctors?
What are Hannity and Ainsley trying to say with there questions/claims about nine and ten year olds getting abortions? What I want to know is why would kids young get pregnant in the first place and what kind of parent would want a nine or ten year old taking a pregnancy to term--possibly killing the pegnant mother?
I agree with you completely, which is why I posted this in an unlocked entry in my normally locked blog. I was one of the people fighting for the Aurora clinic, and with Eric Schilder leading the charge it is truly scary! None of us could walk to our card by ourself, I got berated for speaking about the health care side of Planned Parenthood on the news, and I am pretty sure I was followed home a few times. I know why the need bulletproof glass, because those people will kill a life to save a fetus!!
I honestly don't care on abortion one way or another, but really curious where the deception is?
Does Gemini do anything other than PP facilities?
