(CHRISTIAN NEWS) – “We are a proud abortion provider,” Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson told the Washington Post in explaining that she doesn’t like when people say that abortion is only a small part of their services. She opined that doing so “stigmatizes” and lessens the abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood as being “not a big deal.”
“I think abortion is health care. And so, if the first thing they think about is health care when they think about Planned Parenthood, I think that’s fine,” McGill Johnson told the outlet when asked how she feels about Planned Parenthood being considered synonymous with abortion.
“Planned Parenthood proudly serves all forms of sexual and reproductive health care, including abortion, and I think when we try to exclude it, we’re excluding a critical part of and a critical option for health care,” she said.
