[PJ] Planned Parenthood has seeded more than 300 American college campuses with student groups to fight "abortion stigma" and to promote "reproductive justice."Founded in 2014, the Planned Parenthood Generation Action (PPGA) group recruits college students to launch clubs in support of Planned Parenthood’s mission, and in turn, recruit their peers and friends to join.
Key priorities of the program include "inclusivity, abortion stigma, trans inclusion, elections, and movement/power building," according to PPGA’s website. "We advocate for our health centers to provide crucial health services, including abortion care," it adds.
Once a student chapter is launched ‐ often under covert names like the Salem Sisters or The Feminist Collective of Point Park ‐ the chapter hosts events in hopes of swaying peers’ opinions to support "reproductive justice" and, more bluntly: abortion.
Despite insistence that it is a health care organization, Planned Parenthood is also the nation’s single largest abortion provider. According to a report the nonprofit released over the New Year’s Eve weekend, more than 320,000 abortions were performed last year.
As PJ Media reporter Tyler O’Neil has illustrated, Planned Parenthood’s abortion services have held steady while provision of other services ‐ such as prenatal care, pap tests, and cancer screenings ‐ have dropped precipitously in the last few years.
