No person, no business should view a woman’s body as a profit center, yet that is exactly what Planned Parenthood does. As the former director of two Planned Parenthood clinics in Iowa, I know first-hand how massive are the profits and how terrible are the costs generated by their predatory practices on women and girls.

But the videos are only the latest reason people should support an end to funding for Planned Parenthood.
