Abortion is Planned Parenthood\u2019s product. \u00a0Like other businesses, Planned Parenthood imposes sales quotas and uses sales techniques to maximize purchase of\u00a0their product.<\/p>\n

The abortion provider, which poses as a center for women\u2019s health, gives its clinics specific quotas for the numbers of abortions they must provide or refer. \u00a0 And employees learn sales pitches\u00a0to manipulate\u00a0women into getting abortions.<\/p>\n

This is documented in another video from Live Action<\/a>:<\/p>\n

And it was on this big grid, and if we hit our goal, then our line was green. If it was 5 percent under, we were yellow. If it was 10 percent under, it was red. That\u2019s when we needed to have a corrective action plan \u2014 why we didn\u2019t hit the goal, what we were going to do differently next time.\u201d<\/p>\nShe said employees were trained to manipulate women into choosing abortion by bringing up the costs associated with raising a family.<\/p>\n\u201cWe would say things like, \u2018Your pregnancy test, your visit today is X number of dollars. How much are you going to be able to pay toward that?\u2019\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/sue-thayer\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ms. Thayer<\/a> said. \u201cIf they say, \u2018I\u2019m not able to pay today,\u2019 then we would say something like, \u2018Well, if you can\u2019t pay $10 today, how are you going to take care of a baby? Have you priced diapers? Do you know how much it costs to buy a car seat?\u2019<\/p>\n\u201c\u2018So, really, don\u2019t you think your smartest choice is termination?\u2019\u201d the former clinic manager said. \u201c\u2018We can take care of that, set it up for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nMarianne Anderson, a former nurse at Planned Parenthood, said she sometimes felt more like an \u201cabortion salesman\u201d than a medical professional.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2017\/feb\/7\/ex-employee-planned-parenthood-has-abortion-quotas\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">[Keep reading. . .]<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abortion is Planned Parenthood\u2019s product. \u00a0Like other businesses, Planned Parenthood imposes sales quotas and uses sales techniques to maximize purchase of\u00a0their product.
