What do you mean by ‘screen’ women?It is a half-truth to say PP does not provide mammograms because PP screens women for mammgorams, refers women that need mammograms to providers and then pays for the mammogram. It is an untruth to say that PP grants do not pay for mammograms because they do.
I would like to see another organization be used in place of PP to do the same women’s health functions - such as screening women for mammograms, making referrals and paying for them. But it is hard to convince others to make that change with half-truths and un-truths.
I do not see why anybody would want a middle man, like Planned Parenthood, when you could go to a community health center directly and get a mammogram. You do not need to go Planned Parenthood even just to get a grant, because there are many community health centers that offer free or low cost mamograms directly.
