Former Chronicle publisher Richard J.V. Johnson is dead, but his enthusiasm for Planned Parenthood lives on in today’s Chron editorial:
Planned Parenthood of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle laid off eight staffers and shut down two clinics when its funding was diverted. Parkland closed three clinics. The El Paso County Hospital District clinic is still reeling after losing half its funds.
The new dollars are welcome and will help women get badly needed care. But the money won’t rebuild darkened clinics in small towns or rehire staffers fired because of the cutbacks.
Boo freakin’ hoo. I guess the folks at PP will be hitting up the Chron for an extra-large check this year.

Let me say righ off that I am pro-life. The killing of babies will only stop when the money is taking out of it. Make it FREE, pass laws to stop doctors from charging any “fee for services” and it will die. It is so simple..”NO MONEY, NO ABORTIONS” If PP is so concerned about “wemen’s health”, than let PP do them a real service,make if free.
The law of supply and demand is hell on some businesses, huh?
“Planned Parenthood of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle…..is still reeling after losing half its funds.”
If they are pro choice, and people have chosen not to give money to kill babies…. what’s the problem?
“The new dollars are welcome and will help women get badly needed care.”
Badly needed care. This makes it sound like they are curing cancer. They’re encouraging women to “off” their children. I fail to see the need for such a thing.
All, I just want to clear things up on one subject. PP is not ALL BAD. They do provide some services that are needed. One example when my wife and I were first married we ended up in a financial situation where my income was cut by 33% and she was still in school and working part time. PP provided here with her birth control medication at a significantly reduced price. With out that we might have been in even more of a money problem what with having to deal with a child when we did not have the resources to support ourselves nor the child. Now the problem is that PP has changed from an organization that provides pre-pregnancy planning, advice and medical support to an organization that provides abortions and other liberal activities and for that reason the conservatives have stopped supporting them.
PP, like the unions, used to be good and much needed organizations. Just because they “used to be” does not mean they are. It’s time to get over it.
I asked my daughter about this one as I knew she had just paid a docot 167.00 for a well care visit and an expensice prescription for birth control.
I asked why she did not go to planned parenthood as I thought it should be cheeper. She told me planned parenthood was not only higher in cost but they wanted to supply the BC pills not the once every 3 month shot she prefers.
She says PP is no longer cheeper they cost more than her own doctor charges and reduces her options on what BC can be used - So my memories of being a broke student going to PP have come to a halt as my daughter who today is a broke student found PP to cost more today than your own doctor
OOOH well - they never should have forced me or you to pay for abortions. That was the uproar that took thier funding!
When was it good? From its founding, PP was based on Margaret Sanger’s beliefs in eugenics. She wanted to keep those pesky undesirables from reproducing. You know, the disabled, mentally ill, and other products of “irresponsible and unintelligent breeding.”
No, from the beginning, PP has been an organization with a morally repulsive agenda.
