Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading provider of surgical abortions, registered the largest number of abortions on record last year, according to its latest report.
According to figures, the pro-choice organization registered the largest percentage increase in abortions in over a decade. During the 2006-2007 period, 289,570 abortions were performed throughout its 860 locations, an increase of nearly 25,000.
Although independent studies reveal that the number of abortions throughout the country decreased overall last year, Planned Parenthood records show it was little affected by recent declining trends.
Last year, Planned Parenthood serviced record numbers of patients and earned over $1 billion in profits.
“If Planned Parenthood were a publicly traded company, they’d be celebrating,” said Jim Sedlack, vice president of the American Life League, according to Cybercast News Service. “The stockholders would be screaming, ‘Wow, what a good year we had!’”
According to the American Life League, Planned Parenthood now performs one of out every four abortions in the country.
While most companies have started to feel the squeeze of our sagging economy, business has never been better for Planned Parenthood.
Even worse, according to pro-life groups, was the increase in tax payer funding that Planned Parenthood received last year, serving to both bolster its abortion rate and help aid its agenda by helping elect pro-choice candidates.
According to Perkins, Planned Parenthood would spend nearly $10 million this year to help elect pro-choice candidates.
Last year, Planned Parenthood received over $300 million in tax payer funding – an increase of nearly 11 percent.
We must stop the flow of government money into the hands of this baby-killing business.
Founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood operates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, describing itself as “the nation’s leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider.”
Why women have abortions
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
Likelihood of abortion:
An estimated 43% of all women will have at least 1 abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one previous abortion.
Now Nearly a Billion Dollar Corporation
Planned Parenthood’s 2005-2006 Annual Report not only confirms the nationwide abortion chain’s latest abortion carnage, but establishes quite plainly that the abortion giant stands on the verge of becoming a billion dollar corporation.
Side note…. The leading cause of mothers aborting their babies? Failed birth control pills.
Wake up people, an unborn baby is a baby. The slaughter of the innocent is alive and well in America.
