Noting a 2.4 percent profit increase from the previous year, Planned Parenthood’s annual report reveals an excess of revenue of $55.8 million for this past fiscal year. Interestingly, this profit comes when private donations are on the decline and our tax dollars towards Planned Parenthood keep increasing. In fact, Planned Parenthood’s report shows taxpayer funds were received at a 12 percent increased rate from the previous year and as such, taxpayer money now accounts for 34 percent of Planned Parenthood’s income.

While the number of abortions performed in Planned Parenthood facilities across the country continues to grow, prenatal services for women declined from the previous year and the number of adoption referrals was void. Unfortunately, information on adoption services or referrals was missing from Planned Parenthood’s annual report.

Besides being the nation’s top provider of abortions, Planned Parenthood makes no apologies for its position that abortion should be considered part of comprehensive family planning services. For them, abortion is considered a method of birth control. And unfortunately, some of the additional health services their centers provide are overshadowed by the fact that a good portion of their income and efforts are generated from abortion. It is imperative we work together to redirect our tax dollars towards health care providers who are not abortion advocates.
