Ep. 20: Sales Over Services: Breaking Down Planned Parenthood’s Annual Report

Tessa Cox, Senior Research Associate at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, joins host Eva Cooley on "Exposed: Abortion in America" to discuss her research on abortion trends and Planned Parenthood’s operations. She critiques Planned Parenthood’s heavy focus on abortion, reliance on taxpayer funding, and declining non-abortion services, while highlighting the comprehensive, free support offered by pregnancy resource centers and federally qualified health centers as life-affirming alternatives. Cox emphasizes the importance of exposing Planned Parenthood’s priorities, drawing from her extensive work analyzing abortion data and women’s experiences. She also underscores the pro-life movement’s progress since the Dobbs decision, reflecting on her time at CLI during this pivotal shift. Her insights aim to equip listeners with facts to counter emotional narratives surrounding abortion and women’s healthcare options.
