|    Planned Parenthood - doling out the horm    |
|    04 Oct 23 20:55:07    |
      From: ScottW48@hotmail.com              Planned Parenthood is one of the largest providers of cross-sex hormones in       the United States, and one of the fastest growing. Affiliates in the greater       Portland area saw a nearly 400 percent increase in “gender-affirming care       visits” between 2021        and 2022, according to their annual reports, while those in Ohio saw a 544       percent increase over the same period. Hormones now appear to be in higher       demand than abortion at some branches: A Planned Parenthood in Knoxville,       Tenn., told NPR that nearly a        fifth of its patients sought hormone therapy in 2021, whereas abortion makes       up just 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services nationally.              Planned Parenthood has thrown safeguards out the window and now diagnoses and       provides hormone blockers to people after a 30-minute consultation.              “I have always been a very strong supporter of Planned Parenthood and am       pro-choice,” said Laura Edwards-Leeper, who co-founded the nation’s first       pediatric gender clinic, at Boston Children’s Hospital, in 2007. “But they       have taken on        something that they are not equipped to handle.”              The lack of oversight is so bad, Dr. Edwards-Leeper added, that some of her       patients received hormones from Planned Parenthood even before coming to see       her.              They're just in it for the money. If you're willing the crush the skull of a       preborn infant for money....what else won't you do?              ScottW              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
