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, just to put it in perspective for you a little, and that in under a decade. That comes down to PP performing an abortion approximately every 94 seconds. 

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. Our nation debt is at $16.4 TRILLION dollars and rising by the hour and yet they continually poor money into the death trap that is Planned Parenthood to the tune of almost $1 million per day. That is completely insane!

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.

You can download a great one page report breakdown of PP's annual report the Susan B. Anthony List website below. It's a great resource and it also contains a link directly to Planned Parenthood's annual report as well... http://www.sba-list.org/sites/default/files/content/shared/pp_fact_sheet_2011_2012_annual_report.pdf

It is time to put a STOP to this utter madness! Please call or write to your elected representatives and urge them to Defund Planned Parenthood and to support the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act (H.R. 217).  H.R.217 was reintroduced this session by congressman Diane Black (God bless her for it!) The bill would ensure that Title X federal grant funds are used for their intended purpose of strengthening families and providing critical women’s health services, and barring those taxpayer dollars from going to organizations that provide abortions like Planned Parenthood. Please share this article with others and help educate others about the real danger of Planned Parenthood and how it is literally killing our country more and more every day.

I posted yesterday about GMC showing October Baby for what was it's premiere on TV. I was so excited to hear this because October Baby is such a great movie and I believe that it will save countless lives through it's wonderful message. It is arguably the best pro-life movie ever made, it changes peoples lives and changes how people see abortion. 
I was very shocked and extremely disappointed to hear today that GMC cut out one of the most important scenes of the whole movie where Jasmine Guy's character who was the nurse when Hannah's mother had the abortion is telling Hannah about what happened. Now what makes this one of the most important scenes in the movie is where Guy's character tells Hannah that at the clinic they tell you that "it's tissue that's what they told us, it was tissue that couldn't survive, nonviable tissue. " She then tells her more of what happened when Hannah was born (I won't write any more on that because I don't want to ruin the movie for those that haven't seen it yet.) But she tells her that "I saw the pain, and I didn't see no tissue. I just saw the face of a child." and that is what changed her and opened her eyes and she quits working at the abortion clinic. 
This is one of the strongest messages in the entire movie and gmc edited it out when it aired last night according to many viewers, LifeNews.com, and LifeSiteNews.com . I didn't get to personally watch it myself last night but I was shocked and very disappointed when I read about this today and I wanted to post about it here on the blog since I posted yesterday about it and encouraged everyone to watch it on GMC. Now I wish that was the only thing that they had done but gmc is also showing the little breast cancer awareness pink ribbon on the bottom corner of their screens this month and that lead some viewers to look up more about it on gmc's website and they found out that gmc is linking to a Susan G Komen Foundation video. Komen as has come out in the news gives money to Planned Parenthood who is the largest abortion provider in the U.S.  You can read more about that part it here...http://www.lifesitenews.com/blog/tv-station-cuts-pivotal-pro-life-scene-from-pro-life-movie-october-baby .
Now don't get me wrong I'm a huge supporter of breast cancer awareness and research. I'm always glad to see how much support that breast cancer research is getting. My mother and several of her sisters have fought breast cancer and several of them died from it. So I want to see breast cancer research and awareness furthered to where a cure can be found as soon as possible. But people need to give to and promote one of the other breast cancer organizations and NOT Susan G. Komen who gives money to Planned Parenthood. Please be careful and research about charities and organizations before you donate to them and before you advertise and post about them on your Facebook, Twitter, etc. as well. Because you don't want to promote or give your money to anyone helping to fund abortions. 
It is unbelievable to me that gmc would do these two things while giving the impression that they are a station that stands for Christian values and have the word Gospel in their name. Maybe they didn't know about the Komen and Planned Parenthood connection when they posted the video on their site, but if they don't they should now as several viewers (including myself) have posted about it on their Facebook page along with our comments on them editing the scenes of October Baby last night. GMC has posted the same statement to each of us that have commented on their Facebook page about these issues...
"Thank you for your feedback regarding our airing of October Baby this Sunday. Everything we do here at gmc is for our viewers and we greatly value your opinions.
We understand the importance of this film to our viewers and it was not our intent to alter or dilute the impact of October Baby in any way. All movies on gmc are edited for length and for various types of content (graphic violence, sex, language, etc.). We always aim to ensure that the essence of the story is not altered by the editing process. Upon further reflection in light of your comments, we agree that some of these edits were not necessary. We will be re-editing the film to re-introduce these portions in all future airings.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us."
God willing this is sincere and they mean what they say about re-editing the film and putting the scenes back in that they left out in all the future airings. But they never mentioned anything about the connection to Komen in any of the responses at least that I saw when I was on their Facebook page earlier today. I hope that they will take down that link as well and instead support breast cancer awareness through one of the many other great breast cancer organizations that does not give money to Planned Parenthood. 
Please buy the October Baby DVD and see the entire movie and all of the powerful message that the movie tells. And if you have the time please contact GMC and tell them they need to put all of October Baby on in the future without cutting the important scenes and mention they need to take down the links to Susan G Komen. You can contact them via their website or Facebook page. God willing they mean what they say and will do what is right.
