Salon is absurd, choosing to blame the rise of STDs on the financial pressures put on Planned Parenthood.
Here’s a concept! Why doesn’t Planned Parenthood do the things they claim they were doing – disease screenings – without the abortions?
Dumb question. The answer is because they sell baby parts.
Titled “Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report”, the report noted that in 2018, there were more than 2.4 million syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia infections combined — an increase of more than 100,000 from the previous year.
There was also a 71 percent increase in syphilis cases since 2014, along with a 22 percent increase from 2017 in the number of newborn deaths related to congenital syphilis.
The CDC said the rise in newborn deaths caused by congenital syphilis, which is passed from mother to child during pregnancy, is connected to rising syphilis rates among women having children. In a media statement, the CDC encouraged women to get tested for STDs by their health care providers and use protection.
“STDs can come at a high cost for babies and other vulnerable populations,” Jonathan Mermin, M.D., M.P.H., director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, said. “Curbing STDs will improve the overall health of the nation and prevent infertility, HIV, and infant deaths.”
While the CDC did not explicitly state it, STI testing is becoming harder to come by for vulnerable populations because free test clinics — including some Planned Parenthood clinics — are being defunded by Trump administration policies. Ironically, the Trump administration’s pro-life policies have put newborn babies at a higher risk for death. Indeed, the Trump administration’s policy decision to cut off Title X funding to health care centers that provide abortion care is resulting in the closing of clinics that don’t offer abortion services, but do offer STD testing.
How does the rise in leprosy, or every other 3rd world disease, get explained away as Trump’s fault?
And here I was thinking that the rise in STDs was being caused by people in the LBGT communities, due to the numbers coming from the CDC.
They keep digging deeper. What pathetic bunch of sick people.
They’re trying to blame Trump ‘cause he’s always phucking with them.
Maybe if we stop the sugar-coating bullshit and call it V.D. people would rightly be a little less comfortable screwing like feral dogs in heat!
I’m guessing that the leftist ideal of “stick whatever you want wherever you want in whomever you want” has more to with the disease spreading than Trump does.
The rise in rates likely trace a parallel chart with illegal immigration.
They used to do screening at the border but I guess that was “offensive”
Blaming Trump is just more misdirection hoping people won’t recognize it’s the dems idiotic policies that are at the heart of the problem.
No mention of the cause of the increases.
Or that the cure for it is a moral one.
Can’t have that sort of thinking, now can we.
In their relentless, never ending Crusade of Trump Hatred, nothing is too preposterous!
It’s like a childhood pissing contest to see who can pee the highest or a farting contest to see who can out-fart who and in the process pass something unexpected… thus the expression: “Do me a solid”
“No problem, I just had lunch at the food truck”
So now Trump’s responsible for the Clap…not irresponsible PP clients who choose to forgo free birth control as preventative methods against unwanted pregnancies, instead using abortion as the solution, or prophylactics against diseases.
My lord, this man is more powerful than I thought!
Engelburka – My lord, this man is more powerful than I thought!
Not only that, but he is singularly responsible for the biggest disaster of all:
A booming economy!
The last friggin thing democRATs ever wanted to see!!
Pulling stories out of your ass can’t be good for preventing STDs
In other words, Planned Parenthood is nothing more than a unscrupulous junkyard for baby parts using the Earl Scheib school of marketing: Any part, any color! $29.95 plus shipping.

So in 2018 PP donated $30 million to democrat politicians. Maybe some of that money would have been better spent “saving babies”?
Planned parenthood had killed more babies than the Chinese government, so excuse me if I’m not moved by their sudden concern for the lives of newborns.
