Here’s more from Media Matters:

Neither Walgreens, nor its in-store healthcare clinics, Take Care Clinics, offer pap smears or breast exams,” Take Care Clinic spokeswoman Lauren Nestler told Media Matters after being emailed the segment.

Fox & Friends’ false claim about pap smears is the latest in a series of attempts by conservatives to dismiss the importance of Planned Parenthood for women’s health services.

Except, that’s ridiculous, Fox News lying about it, ironically, only helps underscore the value of Planned Parenthood clinics.”

I’m all for women’s health. Yes, a doctor should peer into your ladyhole with an extremely cold instrument, but for Christmas? Really? When I think “holiday cheer,” the term “feet in stirrups” does not come to mind. But maybe that’s just me…
