Planned Parenthood pushes unsafe contraceptive methods

“Planned Parenthood claims it’s about more than abortion and birth control. It promotes the organization as pro-women, safe and caring. This article exposes the unsavory side of Planned Parenthood and women’s health advocacy, while keeping abortion out of the discussion.
Planned Parenthood’s heavy promotion of the pill and IUDs, instead of safer methods of contraception, is a direct threat to girls’ and women’s safety. Planned Parenthood’s emphasis suggests a cozy relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, something investigative journalists should explore. If you “stand with Planned Parenthood,” do you really know all that you stand for?”
“Planned Parenthood promotes hormonal IUDs on their website, explaining their extraordinary effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Planned Parenthood’s marketing is clever, with convenience being one of the main selling points.
Instead of mentioning extreme side effects of hormonal IUDs, the PP website sums it up: “So if you can stick it out for a few months, there’s a good chance the side effects will ease up.” (Many women can attest that this description is not true.)
Today, Planned Parenthood promotes Mirena, Kyleena, Liletta, and Skyla, all of which are used for 3-7 years. …….. The copper IUD gets the biggest marketing plug from Planned Parenthood: It lasts for 12 years, but can be removed at any time.”
“On their website, Planned Parenthood mentions the cramping and pain with the copper IUD, but uses the same words for explaining hormonal IUDs: “Some people have side effects after getting their IUD. They usually go away in about 3–6 months, once your body gets used to the visitor in your uterus. So if you can stick it out for a few months, there’s a good chance the side effects will ease up.” This statement is an outright lie.”
