From
PP’s own fact sheet, Planned Parenthood helped 7,021 patients with prenatal care and logged only 977 adoption referrals in 2009. Those combined services account for just 2% of their services to pregnant women.
So what accounts for the other 98%? You guessed it: Abortion. Planned Parenthood performed 332,278 abortions in 2009 — in fact, Planned Parenthood is America’s largest abortion provider.
So for every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performs 340 abortions. They don’t care about helping low-income pregnant women unless those low income women want an abortion!
Oh, and nearly 40% of those killed were African Americans. From
blackgenocide.org/black.html:
Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion.
On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.
This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated “Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America’s Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member.”
As Abby Johnson well knows, PP’s business model is
all about abortion:
Planned Parenthood’s claim that abortions make up just 3 percent of its services is also a gimmick.
That number is actually closer to 12 percent, but strategically skewed by unbundling family planning services so that each patient shows anywhere from five to 20 “visits” per appointment (i.e., 12 packs of birth control equals 12 visits) and doing the opposite with abortion visits, bundling them together so that each appointment equals one visit. The resulting difference between family planning and abortion “visits” is striking.
But that’s not the only deception Planned Parenthood is spreading.
It also claims to help reduce the number of abortions. Not only is this not what Planned Parenthood actually accomplishes, but its goal couldn’t be more opposite. As a Planned Parenthood clinic manager, I was directed to double the number of abortions our clinic performed in order to drive up revenue. In keeping, Planned Parenthood headquarters recently issued a directive mandating that
all of its affiliates provide abortions by 2013.
…
Planned Parenthood has found other ways to increase revenue at the expense of women’s safety. Abortion consultations are now often done
without a doctor in the room through online “telemedicine.” Abortion is a severely traumatic and potentially dangerous procedure. Even as Planned Parenthood’s 2008 Employee of the Year, I saw this aggressive push toward more “efficient” telemedicine as risky.
Another nuisance the organization is seeking to do away with is reporting sex abuse of minors. It has
sued to overturn a child abuse reporting law applying to minors under 14 on the grounds that it violated a girl’s “constitutional right to privacy.” Planned Parenthood called the bill unnecessary given that its medical personnel are already obliged to report such matters and that filing additional reports would only “overload” the government. Planned Parenthood doesn’t want to bother the government with protecting minors.
It also can’t be bothered to enable women to make informed decisions. Planned Parenthood has adamantly
opposed laws in nearly two dozen states that require clinic staff to show a woman a sonogram before an abortion. With all the supposed health services these clinics provide, why should they fear sonograms? Because they cut down on its biggest income source.
The ones doing the misrepresenting are Planned Parenthood themselves.
All you have to do is look at the numbers. Do us all a favor and post for everyone on this site how many abortions were performed last year…in the US and in Texas…and then tell us all whether you think that number is accurate or low based on the premise that Planned Parenthood stood to lose massive funding in a state that is largely Pro-Life.
