CMV: Planned Parenthood should spin off it's abortion business and then re-brand it's health services business lines

Planned Parenthood is a non-profit, but it is still a business.  Businesses spin off business lines all the time for any variety of reasons.

Since their abortion business line receives no taxpayer funds, there shouldn't be any financial loss from spinning it off into a new business.  Then all the other health services that Planned Parenthood provides could be conducted free from the stigma of being provided by "America's largest abortion provider".

Such a move would direct any criticism and protests to the new "abortion only" business and away from the health services businesses.  They would no longer face threats of cuts to their federal funding.  I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually able to increase their funding with such a move.

The biggest challenge I can think of that would be faced would be the need for additional locations since all existing locations would have to be designated as either "abortion services" or "health services" locations.  But I don't think that would be a HUGE obstacle.

Many of the existing locations could likely be split into two separate, but side-by-side, facilities.  Many are in buildings that could easily be divided for multiple tenants already, so that's exactly what would be happening.  Opening new "free health clinics" should be fairly easy from a local regulatory standpoint.  Who wouldn't want more free health clinics in their neighborhood?  

And if the total square footage needed for both abortion and healthcare services shouldn't change much (maybe a little more space for 2 reception desks and waiting rooms), so the long-term increase in rental or real estate costs shouldn't be significant.  I think it would more than offset by increased revenue from greater public support, and reduced costs related to security and dealing with protests.

The only other caveat of this view is that I'm taking Planned Parenthood's contention that no federal funds are used in the abortion business at face value.  I have no reason not to believe that.  But if that isn't true, it would present additional challenges to any spinoff.

Not only are you duplicating facilities, but you duplicate fundraising efforts, HR and administrative positions, and all the other savings you have from being a single institution. It would not be cost-effective.

If you maintain any type of relationship where you can combine resources, then you will not remove the stigma of providing abortions.
