The Progressive Murdering of unborn Negro's by Planned Parenthood and the selling of human being body parts is illegal. Here are just a few more facts that Boehner (and all of
Congress) should consider before continuing to send the hard-earned dollars of
American taxpayers to the nation’s largest abortion provider:
Fact #1: Planned Parenthood Has Become a Billion-Dollar
Organization on the Backs of Taxpayers
Planned Parenthood has ridden the waves of taxpayer funding to
millions of dollars in annual surpluses. During its last reporting year, like
many before it, the organization reported revenues
over expenses exceeding $127 million and net assets of more than $1.4 billion.
During that same year, Planned Parenthood received over $528 million in
taxpayer-funded grants and reimbursements from federal and state coffers – 41
percent of the organization’s total revenue. As a Government Accountability
Office report released
this past March demonstrates, a large portion of that taxpayer money comes from
a variety of federal sources, including Title X and Medicaid.
Fact #2: Planned Parenthood Performs 1 in 3 Abortions in the
U.S.
In the 2013-2014 reporting year
alone, Planned Parenthood reported performing 327,653 abortions- and
nearly 1 million abortions over the pastthree years.
There have even been allegations from former employees of mandatory “abortion quotas”
that affiliates must meet and the national organization recently announced that
all affiliates would have to begin providing abortion services.
Fact #3: Planned Parenthood has Decreased Preventive Care, While
Increasing Abortions
While, according to the organization’s most recent report,
Planned Parenthood affiliates performed 327,653 abortions during the last
reporting year, they made only 1,880 adoption referrals and provided just
18,684 prenatal services. Indeed, abortion accounted for 94 percent of
the organization’s pregnancy-related services (abortion, adoption referral,
prenatal services). According toanalysis by
Americans United for Life, even cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood have
decreased 50 percent since 2004, while the number of abortion procedures has
increased by about 70,000 each year during the same time period. And despite
some supporters’ statements to the contrary, Planned Parenthood does not and
cannot provide mammograms.
Fact #4: Planned Parenthood Has Been Accused of Financial Fraud
with Taxpayer Dollars
Planned Parenthood affiliates have been accused of potential
fraud when it comes to government reimbursements for services. In 2013, Planned
Parenthood Gulf Coast agreed to pay an over $4 million
settlement for Medicaid fraud according to the Texas Attorney
General. Summaries of state audits of family planning programs
have indicated similar abuse
and fraudulent practices by Planned Parenthood
affiliates to the tune of over $8 million across 9 states.
Fact #5: Planned Parenthood Fights Commonsense Laws that Protect
Women and Children
Along with its many challenges to
commonsense state laws regulating abortion doctors and clinics
and fighting a bill in Congress to limit dangerous
and gruesome late-term abortions, Planned Parenthood has even opposed
legislation that would protect infants born alive after failed
abortions. More recently, Planned Parenthood was involved in attempts to derail an
anti-human trafficking bill in Congress because the legislation
included a longstanding and widely-supported policy against taxpayer funding of
abortion.
Fact #6: Planned Parenthood Stands Accused of Jeopardizing the
Safety and Health of Women and Girls
While claiming to support the interests of women, Planned
Parenthood has also been accused by
pro-life advocacy groups of abetting the sex
trafficking of minor girls and at least four affiliates in
Delaware, Virginia, Colorado and Illinois have been similarly accused of neglecting the
health and safety of patients.
Fact #7: Women Can Receive Wider Range of Care at Other Centers
Health care services are already being provided for those who
need them without unethical practices or entanglement in abortion. More than
2,000 pregnancy centers provide medical testing, prenatal care, ultrasounds and
child-birth classes, among other services to women facing unplanned
pregnancies, empowering them with life-affirming options.
In addition to those resources specifically for pregnant women,
the federal government funds roughly 1,200
federally qualified health clinics across the country that
served 21 million
people in 2012 alone and often provide birth control options,
cancer screenings and women’s health exams, not to mention a wide-range of primary health services for
women, children and men.
Fact #8: Planned Parenthood Advances a Culture that Devalues
Life
Planned Parenthood is the leader of a gruesome and ruthless
industry, which daily adds to the 56 million
unborn children and countless women harmed by abortion.
The videos released over the last week have merely shown the
nation where the logic of abortion-on-demand inevitably leads: to where tiny
livers and lungs are useful for harvesting, but the nameless baby they come
from is too small, dependent, disabled, or simply too inconvenient to be
allowed to continue living. The value of a life within Planned Parenthood’s
walls is measured by its utility and convenience – rather than the inherent
dignity of every human being.
Congress Must Stop Funding Planned Parenthood
Regardless of the outcome of the very necessary congressional
inquiry, there is no reason to continue entangling federal money with an
organization nearly allof
whose pregnancy-related services are abortion procedures.
There is nothing stopping individuals, organizations and
businesses from continuing to fund Planned Parenthood with private dollars
(although, requests by Coca-Cola, Ford and Xerox to remove their
names from Planned Parenthood’s corporate donors list may be
indication that even the private sector isn’t too happy with the latest,
horrific revelations about the non-profit).
Policymakers looking to put limited taxpayer funds to more
efficient and effective use should redirect those dollars to centers and
clinics that can provide more comprehensive care for women. All women – but
especially those facing difficult circumstances – deserve better care for their
health and more options than the cold doors of an abortion facility.
No society that is truly committed to protecting basic human
rights can continue funding an industry that harms women, takes the lives of
the most vulnerable children and cheapens our respect for life – especially
when its leader allegedly harvests and sells tiny organs for profit.
Those should be all the facts Congress needs to end funding of
Planned Parenthood.
