Planned Parenthood Report: $540 million, 327,000 abortions which are 93% of all pregnancy services
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) released its 2012-2013 annual report on Wednesday and critics were quick to point out the federal funding and the number of abortions connected to the organization.
The national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List has released a fact sheet on the information pointing out that Planned Parenthood’s abortion rate declined by 2 percent, but abortions still accounted for 93.8 percent of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services.
During fiscal year 2012-2013, Planned Parenthood reported receiving $540.6 million in taxpayer funding, or nearly $1.5 million per day.
In 2012, Planned Parenthood performed 327,166 abortions , a 2% drop from 2011. In 2002, Planned Parenthood performed 227,385 abortions, meaning they perform 100,000 more abortions than they did 10 years ago.
In 2012,abortions made up 93.8% of PlannedParenthood’s pregnancy services, while prenatal care and adoption referrals accounted for only 5.6% (19,506) and 0.6% (2,197), respectively. For every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed 149 abortions.
Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) President Marjorie Dannenfelser had the following comments:
“Business is booming for America’s largest abortion provider, which receives public funding at a rate of $1.5 million per day. Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report shows that they performed 100,000 more abortions in 2013 than ten years ago. Meanwhile, cancer screenings and prenatal services, including adoption referrals, continue to drop. Planned Parenthood claims to be a trusted health care provider to women and girls, but their numbers tell a different story. Planned Parenthood is a business whose entire mission is to profit off of abortion.”
