Yesterday the National Review<\/a> posted the following statement made by President Obama<\/a> during the debate on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

When Governor Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood<\/a>, 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<\/a>, for cervical-cancer screenings.\u00a0That\u2019s a pocketbook issue for women and families all across the country, and it makes a difference in terms of how well and effectively women are able to work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, there are some problems with that statement.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

But Planned Parenthood, with few exceptions, does not provide mammograms. To test the president\u2019s statement in the real world, I called several Planned Parenthood offices in the New York City area<\/a> today to ask about scheduling a mammogram. \u201cWe actually don\u2019t offer that here,\u201d one office told me. \u201cYou might want to call 311, they actually have lists of places you could go to.\u201d When I asked, \u201cYou don\u2019t provide them like the president said?,\u201d I was told \u201cNo.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article details the phone calls the author made to five offices of Planned Parenthood asking about mammograms, and the author includes tapes of those calls. The bottom lines here is simple–we are being lied to.<\/p>\n
