Obama: Women 'Rely' on Planned Parenthood for Mammograms; FDA: No They Don't

 During Tuesday's second presidential debate, President Barack Obama said that women "rely" on Planned Parenthood for mammograms, but, according to the Food and Drug Administration, no Planned Parenthood facility in the United States is licensed to do mammograms.
During Tuesday night’s debate against his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, Obama said, “When Gov. Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, 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, for cervical cancer screenings. That’s 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.”

It clearly shows that he has no clue. And the people who will vote for him are in the same boat.

This response not specifically related to mammograms but I DO WANT TO \KNOW WHY IT IS OK TO PROVIDE VIAGRA FOR MEN BUT NOT BIRTH CONTROL FOR THE WOMEN MEN USE VIAGRA ON??????

My Carefirst plan would pay for birth control 7:59 if I used it. I'm 49 yrs old and have had the plan for 30 yrs. It always did.

7:59 I first used Viagra while using Rogane for hair loss. The next morning I woke up and looked like the boxing promoter Don King. Any other comments?

I always had to pay for my own birth control. If insurance companies pay at least a portion, that's great, for those women desiring to use it. But federal $$ for Planned Parenthood is what's being questioned here. A majority of taxpayers do not want to support an organization that so readily encourages and makes money on performing abortions. If women had to get a sonogram as early as 12 weeks, they would see a tiny baby with a heart pumping blood into the brain. They would then probably change their minds about abortion.
