Your county health department is already overburdened and now you would like to see them have to help even more people than they are trying to help already. Your county health department gets federal funds as well as other grants and funding, and they will have to scramble to pay for the additional work you are trying to lay on them. Or turn people away, possibly. I'm sure they and their patients will thank you for the extra burden of time and money that you are wishing upon them.
This is about trying to close down what folks like you consider to be an "abortion mill". Speaking as someone who used Planned Parenthood back when I was a starving art student in the middle of a city, I can assure you that they provide a slew of medical services for women. Perhaps Obama, a man in case you didn't notice, is wrong about actually getting a mammogram AT PP. But he isn't wrong about women "relying on" them to help them get a mammogram.
PS: I notice that "Live Action", a virulently anti-abortion group, keeps cutting Obama off before the part where he says "cervical cancer screenings". Because they know that those are done in Planned Parenthood and they don't want to admit that such a thing goes on there.
