An Aug. 27 WorldNetDaily article by Bob Unruh repeatedly calls a proposed Planned Parenthood facility in Michigan an “abortion center” and “abortion business.” Unruh also states that “Planned Parenthood of Mid and South Michigan bought the location and announced it planned to establish an abortion business.”
Just one problem: Planned Parenthood has never stated that it plans to use the proposed facility to perform abortions.
The Oakland Press quoted a Planned Parenthood as saying in May that the organization has not decided what services will be provided in Auburn Hills yet: “We know our core services will be there, which is preventive health care like annual exams, cancer screenings and birth control. We don’t know what the other range of services will be yet.”
Unruh offers no evidence to back up his claim that Planned Parenthood intends to run an “abortion business” at the facility, nor does he mention the Planned Parenthood statement that it has not decided whether to offer abortions there. Indeed, Unruh makes no apparent effort to contact Planned Parenthood for their side of the story.
That’s just sloppy reporting, the kind we’ve seen over and over again from Unruh.
