Predatory Planned Parenthood

U.S. taxpayers are being forced to help sustain the nation's leading provider of abortions—Planned Parenthood.

The 2002-2003 Annual Report for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) reveals that the abortion provider performed a staggering 227,385 surgical abortions, while only 1,963 pregnant women were referred to adoption agencies—a staggering 115 abortions for each adoption referral. Incredibly, in the same time period this pillar of the abortion industry collected $254.4 million from the federal government—our tax dollars!

Planned Parenthood clinics have displayed a distinct trend toward death.

Since 1997, adoption referrals are down (79%); annual breast exams have declined (5.26%); midlife services are down (54%); infertility clients have declined (52% since 1995); and the number of prenatal clients has fallen (8%).

Meanwhile, they have spent more than $200 million pushing their irresponsible version of “sex ed” in our classrooms. Consequently, the number of annual abortions has risen 37% and annual pregnancy tests are up 29%. The federal government’s reward? A more than 54% increase in federal funding. In fact, over the past 14 years, the federal government has provided Planned Parenthood with roughly $2.5 billion. Enough is enough—Death and taxes do not mix!

The time has come for taxpayers to demand an end to the government funding of Planned Parenthood.
