The actual quotes, taken directly from your "Life News" article:

"There is huge unmet need across our country, and it is our moral imperative to provide care for all those who need us," Wen said. "I plan to expand our services, and expand our reach."

Later, she added: "We are probably the only healthcare organization that has a presence in all 50 states. [This, she said, is why she wants to expand.]"

"There is no question we are in a state of emergency for women’s health," she said. "[When a society] treats one type of healthcare differently than everyone else, that’s when we get to where we are, which is the biggest healthcare crisis of our time."

"I strongly believe that healthcare must be guaranteed to all regardless of our ability to pay," Wen told The Guardian. "… all people should be treated with compassion and high quality care – that’s what a society should guarantee."

Stating a fact about someone's background is racism?

Also, no matter what flowery language Wen may use to detail this expansion , the end result is always the deaths of more innocent, unborn children.

Out of curiosity, what do you think this woman's incentive is to cause the deaths of more innocent, unborn children?

I have to admit I don't trust Life News to report anything accurately.

It is the case however that PP shifted its focus more toward abortion and away from healthcare during Cecile Richards' term, and there's been no indication that Wen will do any different.

Abortion is a very lucrative business, money-wise. PP performs about 320,000 abortions every year, with each costing around $1000. That amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for PP every year, why wouldn't they want to expand (rights of the unborn be damned)?

Shhhh...we can’t be ruining the extreme right wing narrative.

I can understand concern for the unborn. Abortion and defining when life begins can be a tricky subject; does it begin at conception, when it could survive outside of the womb, or somewhere in between? It’s a tough call and science can’t provide us with the answers to moral questions such as that. So, I never fault anyone for embracing an approach to life that prioritizes protection of the innocent.

However, I do wish folks like TEC and you would show similar outrage and concern for innocent life when it comes to humans already born. Shouldn’t you be similarly determined to protect the innocent Yemeni children who’re literally starving to death and having bombs dropped on them by the Saudis who’re, with American assistance and support, conducting a horrific, human rights violating war against them? Or the children from Latin America who’re fleeing the violence in their homelands that stems, in large part, from the flow of American arms, drug money, and over a century of imperialistic intervention that has seen dictatorships propped up, violent groups supported, and democratic governments toppled? Or even here at home, when children are lacking access to healthcare, food, shelter, and other necessities because their parents have inadequate amounts of money to afford these things, yet continue to feel the sting of austerity, social stigma, and shame for the systemic failures of the American socioeconomic model that runs counter to a family-centered life (low and stagnant wages, long hours, lack of financial security, COL rapidly outpacing pay, lack of paid leave, lack of affordable healthcare, an economy that displaces communities, a socioeconomic system that reduces humans to mere individualist consumers)?

Everything else on your agenda besides anti-abortion seems to run contrary to a healthy, safe, happy life for the ordinary person - children included.

As Barney Frank said, for Republicans life begins at conception and ends at birth.

It costs taxpayers more if we don't have these abortions. Personally, a child born to a parent(s) that don't even want it is a bigger tragedy in my mind.

I certainly believe in healthcare for all.  I certainly believe that life begins at conception.  The folks who are tut-tutting pro-lifers here; would they agree to a compromise of Medicare for All tied to the Human Life Amendment?  I mean THAT would be Healthcare for All, including unborn humans.

The Democratic Party once had a number of folks in their ranks.  People like myself who were pro-life liberals.  People like former Rep. Tony Hall (D-Ohio).  We're persona non grata in the Democratic Party these days, and the abortion issue IS, indeed, an issue of humanity.  Today's Democratic Party wants no part of us; they're fine with someone advocating partial birth abortion (a truly barbaric procedure) but won't tolerate someone expressing disapproval with the recent redefinition of marriage by the Supreme Court, even as they accept it as a fait accompli.  Democrats today are not outraged by late term abortions of children that are at the same level of human development you and I once were, but they are outraged that I would seek to limit which bathroom one can use, based on genatalia and not on one's "self-identification". 

Abortion is the Power Issue of the Feminist Left.  These folks have no compassion for the unborn and don't view them as human beings.  They view them as something else, and the fact that some may agonize over the "choice" before having an abortion doesn't mitigate the act one iota.  People here would not think that the fact that parents "agonized" over the issue before disowning their LGBT child doesn't mitigate such an action, and they're right, so why then should I give people more slack on the abortion issue when the outcome is far more permanent?

By all means, let's have compassion for children already born.  And I'm certainly in favor of dialing back a number of our foreign involvements.  (The Iraq War did, however, liberate children in prison; was it as bad as its critics, including myself, made it out to be?)  But let's focus on our own; let's not make this issue of children already born a piggyback by which we have open borders and other unpalatable initiatives in the name of "the children".

You are aware planned parenthood offers more "services" than just abortion, right?
