Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/u> made an impassioned case arguing those who truly value life must support Planned Parenthood, noting “how many babies have been born” because of prenatal services offered by the organization. <\/p>\n
The New York<\/u> Democrat also said that she was a “Planned Parenthood” baby, as her mother relied on prenatal services offered by Planned Parenthood before her birth. <\/p>\n
“If we want to talk about Planned Parenthood let\u2019s talk about how many lives Planned Parenthood has saved. And how many babies have been born because of the prenatal care provided by Planned Parenthood,” Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood\u2019s annual 2019-2020 report said it provided 354,871 abortion services and 8,626 prenatal services.<\/p>\n
She spoke during a House committee hearing titled Birthing While Black: Examining America\u2019s Black Maternal Health Crisis.<\/i><\/p>\n
“If we\u2019re concerned about life, we don\u2019t get to talk about anyone else \u2026 when we are upholding policies that kill people,” she continued. <\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want to hear a single person on this committee or outside of this committee talk about valuing life when they continue to uphold the death penalty, when they continue to support policies that disproportionately incarcerate and lead to the deaths of black men and people throughout this country and uphold an absolutely unjust medical system that exists for-profit that allows people to die because they can\u2019t afford to live,” Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n
“If we\u2019re concerned about life we don\u2019t get to talk about anyone else \u2026 when we are upholding policies that kill people,” she continued. <\/p>\n
