In January Planned Parenthood released their annual report for
2011-2012 and while they reported performing a record number of abortions they
also reported receiving almost a half a BILLION yep that's right billion with a B of our tax dollars from the government while
doing it!
It amazes me that even while Planned Parenthood openly
releases their own numbers showing their millions upon millions of dollars
received both in tax dollars and in sheer profit, that many on the pro-choice
side still try to argue that Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization
and makes absolutely no money from the services that they provide. Really???
Well let's just get it from the horse's mouth then shall we? Here are their
numbers reported via their own annual report...
They proudly show that they performed a record number of abortions 333,964. That brings the total number
of babies Planned Parenthood has killed since it began keeping records to
almost 6 million. That's roughly 2/3 of the population of New York City , and over two times the population of Chicago
And all the while they were busy doing that they received a
record $542 million dollars in taxpayer funding from the U.S. Government.
That's up 11% from the previous year and now roughly 45% of their
financing comes from our federal government. Think about that for just a
moment! While we are in the middle of the worst debt crisis this country has
ever seen and while there is still not even a HINT of a balanced budget
anywhere on the horizon from our leaders in Washington
By simply defunding this one organization they could cut almost
half a billion dollars in spending right there! That money could be going to
actually HELP American citizens instead of killing them!
While their abortion numbers and their profit numbers increased
dramatically their numbers for actual health care services once again decreased!
This again calculated via their own numbers... In 2011, abortions made up
92% of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services, while prenatal care and
adoption referrals accounted for only 7% that's 28,674 prenatal care
services and 0.6% or 2,300 adoption referrals. So do the math that's
145 abortions per 1 adoption referral made.
Cancer screening and preventative services and
contraceptive services provided by Planned Parenthood continued to drop as
well. Contraceptive services have dropped by 12% since 2009, and cancer
screening and prevention services dropped by 29%.
I hasten to point out again that every single service that PP
provides can and is provided by other local health departments and other health
care providers (that by the way can also perform mammograms which PP can not)
and that do NOT perform abortions! Plus they do not have to outsource any other
medical care needed because unlike Planned Parenthood they are legitimate and
authorized healthcare providers!
The Heritage Foundation had some
wonderful points on this in one of their blog posts that I wanted to share with you...
"Despite
the half-truths spread by leaders and supporters of Planned
Parenthood—including President Obama during last year’s election—the
organization does not and cannot provide mammograms. (It was
over this fact, among other considerations, that leaders of the Susan G. Komen
Foundation originally pulled grant funding from
Planned Parenthood—before they were bullied back into
supporting the abortion provider.)
Women
can receive clinical breast exams at some Planned Parenthood affiliates, but
women are referred to local health care providers for more comprehensive
mammogram services. Planned Parenthood can use funds obtained from grant
sources to pay for the referrals, but it acts merely as a go-between for
women in need of screening. Moreover, as Alliance Defending Freedom’s (ADF)
Casey Mattox explained following an
ADF Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
request, no Planned Parenthood affiliate even holds the licenses necessary
under federal law to perform mammograms.
If
Planned Parenthood’s lackluster offering of breast health support and
single-minded provision of abortion services isn’t enough to question the
continual stream of federal tax dollars, accusations of fraud and the
group’s apparent willingness to abet the sex trafficking of minor girls should at least
raise scrutiny of the organization’s federal funding."
I ask you again WHY
with all of the illegal activity that Planned Parenthood has been caught red
handed in over and over, do they still continue to receive millions or our hard
earned tax dollars to do their dirty work? No other organization has been nor
ever would be allowed to stay open having been found doing what this
organization has done!
And last but certainly not least for the poor liberal bleeding hearts that still want to proclaim that Planned Parenthood is a none profit and gets no profit for the services that they provide. Read it from them... they reported $87.4 million in profit, and more than $1.2 billion in net assets.

That's not enough
evidence for you? PP's top execs in this supposed "nonprofit"
organization made over $2 million dollars in 2010. Cecile Richards,
President makes a whopping $353,819 per year. Maryana Iskander,
CEO made $288,886. Maria Acosta, the CFO made $263,443. In fact not one of the
top 8 officers in PP made less than $245,000.
Now you tell me people
does this sound like they are not making any money on their
"services"???
Before I close this
post I wanted to share this video from Fox News about the subject
featuring Marjorie Dannenfelser from the Susan
B. Anthony List.
