Planned Parenthood Annual Report 2005-2006

[PLAL]

On June 6, Planned Parenthood posted its 2005-06 annual report, complete with smiling babies and children it missed killing on the cover.

Yesterday morning, Jim Sedlak, VP of American Life League and an authority on PP, issued this analysis…
… [W]e find that 264,943 died by medical or surgical abortion in Planned Parenthood’s facilities during 2005. That’s 5,095 a week - as many each week as the highest estimates of allied forces deaths on D-Day…

PP reported a total income of $902.8 million dollars. That is a record number for the organization, but is a modest 2.4% increase from the year before. In contrast, PP reported total revenue increases of 10.7%, 5.7% and 8.9% in its previous three years…

PP… reported “excess of revenue of expenses” of $55.8 million for the fiscal year. This marks the 34th year in a row that PP has reported “excess revenue” - otherwise known as profit. Over the years, PP has reported total profits of over $700 million. It has amassed a treasure chest of assets worth $839.8 million.

Wow after reading your post I learned a lot about Planned Parenthood. I did not know 59% of their work involved cancer screening, disease treatments, and pregnancy testing. Did you know 97% of their work is not surgical abortions? Did you know they perform about 15% of all surgical abortions? I wonder who does the other 85%? Now I have a much better understand of them.

BTW I know you are quoting someone however the revenue in excess of expense is not profit. He was incorrect to refer to it in that way. It is Gross Margin which is considerable different than Profit.

They kill 264,943 people a year through abortion. Then they kill more through emergency contracedption and the pill. Not only kill the children but they help disease the mother.

Then they are clever and help diagnose all the diseases. It is a win-win financially for them. They try to show us how charitable they are by giving free EC pills away and sometimes even free abortions like in NY after 9/11.

I am just wondering if it is the same 264,943 women who abort who also have the pregnancy tests(1,040,803).

Maybe even an STD test, pap smear and breast exam while in the office followed by contraceptive counseling before/after the abortion or at a later date.

Are you trying, in a sick way, to praise or give credit to Planned Parenthood? Is the question “Did you know 97% of their work is not surgical abortions?” some way to deflect criticism of the fact that a quarter of a million babies were killed at their hands in a year?

Did you know that over 97% of the members of the Nazi party never personally killed a Jew or ordered others to do it? Does that change your perception of THEM?

Nope, not in the least, the statement is correct as written. Do you know that before the post?

Nope, still Catholic, actual Catholic, full Catholic. That means no misleading allowed when talking or writing about others.

I think we need to be accurate, but we also have to look critically at the numbers. They say that 3% of their patients were there for abortions. However, the abortions almost assuredly used more than 3% of their resources. What I found most striking was that their abortions were 25% of their pregnancy tests. Some of these tests may have been routine, and not because of a suspected pregnancy. Anyway, suppose that 50% of their pregnancy tests were positive, that would suggest half of their positive pregnancy tests resulting in an abortion.

I am just speculating here with the numbers, but if I am even close to right, it doesn’t look good.

And the point is?

No and it doesn’t matter - they could spend the other 97% of their resources providing tap dancing lessons to the poor and it in no way justifies the 3% used to perform abortions! I guess I just don’t understand where you were coming from with that paragraph whatsoever.

Actually I read it to claim about 8-9% of the clients chose surgical abortion? Public statistics ( all known sources) indicate abortions run 20-30% of pregnancies, so it appears there are less abortions being performed at these places than other places?

And the point is?

I was not making a point, only acknowledging the post was rather educational, at least to me.

ditto, If 97% of the resources were used to provide tap water to society would that be bad? Having never been in a Planned Parenthood establishment, combined with reading many posts on this forum I was lead to believe they were abortion clinics. Turns out these places are not abortion clinics. I’m glad I read the post, now I see much more clearly what Planned Parenthood is.

I thought PP was a not for profit?

When I was in youth group the leader put out a big platter of brownies. He then asked us, “if I were to tell you that these brownies are composed of 99% the best quality product. Made by a grandma who’s brownies just won the blue ribbon at the county fair. But that unfortunately the last 1% was actually poo. Would any of you eat them?”

His point was that we shouldn’t watch movies with nudity in them…but I think that Planned Parenthood is anoter good parallel. I certainly don’t think that they are 99% good, or 97% good, but even if I assumed they were - that 1% is totally unacceptable and reason enough for me to be against them in every way possible.

True, planned parenthood is not an abortion clinic. It is a death camp.

If it is not an abortion clinic (again, 250,000 abortions take place there), then please enlighten me as to what Planned Parenthood is then.

Planned Parenthood may not have the greater percentage of abortion clinics, however, in my area (where they don’t run the abortion clinics) they are the first organization to REFER pregnant women to the local, non-PP abortion clinics and their staff usually are the volunteer “deathscorts” at these clinics.

It is very clear-they are an abortion cilnic.

And did you know that the Hitler’s Nazi administration built over 500 new hospitals, the entire autobann and institituted a national health care system. Did you know that less than 17% of the Jews who died during WW-II were part of the Holocaust.

It’s really amazing how a few statistics can make an evil organizaiton look good, isn’t it

now I see much more clearly what Planned Parenthood is.

Do you have any better insights into what type of organization the German Nazi party was too?

If a bank employee diverted 3% of your direct deposit paycheck into his own account, would you call him a “bank employee” or a “thief”?

Perhaps you are trying to make the point that PP isn’t an organization of storm troopers lead by Darth Vader himself. I heartily agree with both that and the sentiment that we need to remind ourselves that reality isn’t like the movies.

Virtually NO person or group of persons is without any virtue or human decency. IMO, Hollywood has subtly lead us to believe that villains contain NO good and that anyone who displays ANY virtue must be given license for any flaws in their character. But in reality, everybody has redeeming characteristics. SOMEBODY loved Saddam, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, etc. Presumbaly they even loved somebody in return and displayed at least occasional signs of mercy, compassion and generosity. Again, unlike Hollywood, it is not necessary to first demonstrate that a person or group is utterly evil and without human virtue to conclude that that group is, on the whole, an evil organization.

Is PP a positive and constructive force in our society? Clear and simple answer is NO! In spite of providing some women some genuine medical assistance, the larger part of their purpose is to further the ‘Culture of Death’ as defined by John Paul II. Offer abortions at low cost, no judgement and no discussion of the downsides. Push contraception on the assumption that it will reduce unwanted pregnancy with no regard for the OBVIOUS outcome of the last 40 years of such a philosophy. Worst of all is the subtle remnants of its founder’s eugenic philosophy: locate clinics so as to ‘serve’ the poor and ‘feeble’ so that they won’t reproduce and burden us ‘superior’ humans.
