Media Hides Fact: Planned Parenthood Does 40% of Abortions | LifeNews.com


The fact of the matter is that 51 percent of Planned Parenthood’s yearly clinic income – their only self-sustaining revenue source – comes from abortion, 329,445 abortions.

40 percent of all reported abortions committed in the United States occur at a Planned Parenthood clinic, making it by far the largest abortion provider in America. (Editor’s note: When using the national abortion numbers from the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood does 27.5 percent of all abortions in the United States,)
This is a fairly staggering statistic hidden behind the media’s willful blindness to the truth behind the leader of the abortion industry.

Planned Parenthood claims to provide 11 million “services” in America each year. From this overly inflated number, they calculate that the 329,445 abortions they committed in their last reported year amounts to only 3 percent of their services.

Planned Parenthood’s 3 percent figure has been bought hook, line, and sinker by the mainstream media as proof positive that Planned Parenthood isn’t really about abortion. But if you take even a cursory look at Planned Parenthood’s own data, that claim begins to unravel and quickly.

And this is a problem because?

Abortion is a legal procedure and while it something that nobody wants to go through it, it is still often the best option for somone not in a position to have a child.

It is illegal to use tax payer money for abortions that aren't life threatening. If planned parenthood takes private money and uses that for abortion, its nine of your damned business.

Murder is everyone's business, no matter who "funds" it.

It's not murder by any legal definition, and abortion is still legal... if you want to debate the issue, try using facts and logic instead of emotions. Just a suggestion.

And Janelle, do you get all your "facts" from pro-life sites? At least you tried to include some neutral sources this time, but unfortunately they nor your article really prove anything. But like the first response above said, what's the problem? It's a legal procedure paid for by the patient - not your body nor your money, thus none of your business. Do you really think posting thread after thread on a forum will change the laws?

When 40% of fertilized eggs, dividing after sperm has entered one, pass through a woman's normal cycle every day, all over the world, I think you should redefine what life is, in your opinion. Most rational thinking people realize that a division of cells is not human. Possibility of becoming human, but it isn't there yet.

And I don't support abortion for a simple birth control measure. I think it should be legal though, because government should stay out of personal lives. These, "life begins at conception" laws ignore basic human reproductive knowledge

Only Fed money. Several states now cover abortion with medicaid using the state's money.

The problem seems to be that it's not fully segregated funds and that's where the debate comes in.

Texas cut off PP and operates their own women's clinic to take its place and does all the services PP did with the exception of abortion. So we know for sure that no taxpayer money (state or Fed) is going for abortions. PP in Texas can still operate on donations and none of us here care about them because none of our tax dollars goes to them.

Remove the government money and PP and abortions become a non issue to taxpayers.

Just because you use accounting tricks doesn't mean that you are being truthful either... I think it is odd that you say that public money cannot be used, but it is EXACTLY how it is being funded...

That is where fund accounting comes in. It is pretty easy to segregate funds and most universities perform that function quite well. Some alumnus give money specifically for the athletic department and some give money specifically for the math program. Whether PP actually segregates the funds is a question for their auuditor, but it is not difficult to do.
