Planned Parenthood reports record number of abortions

[Acid Trip]

Twenty 1st graders are murdered and it's a national tragedy that sparks a gun control discussion. Planned Parenthood aborts 333,964 in the same year and nobody blinks an eye. We don't take life seriously in this country.

In its latest annual report for fiscal year 2011 to 2012, Planned Parenthood reveals that it performed 333,964 abortions in 2011 – a record year for the organization.

According to annual reports, the organization performed 332,278 abortions in 2009, 329,445 in 2010, making the total number of abortions in three years to 995,687.

Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer funding, according to a Susan B. Anthony List analysis of the report, in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. The amount is 45 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue.

“While government subsidies to Planned Parenthood have reached an all time high, so too has the number of lives ended by this profit-driven abortion business,” SBA List’s President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. “Destroying nearly one million children in three years is not health care and does not reflect a concern for vulnerable women and girls.”

Contraceptive services at Planned Parenthood have dropped by 12 percent since 2009, and cancer screening & prevention services have dropped by 29 percent.

You're ok with the tax funding also?

Look at the budget, the amount of money given to PP is miniscule compared to other things in the budget. Trying to make this a HUGE campaign issue was yet another reason why the republicans lost the election in all phases.

It depends on how you define life?

Also to bring $ into it - of those aborted pregnancies - how many would be born to a parent that didn't want them that could leading to abuse (cost tax payers money) - how many would be born into a family that couldn't afford them (again more tax dollars) - How many would have been born with a birth defect or other issue? (again more tax money).

[Muddy]

We have a population explosion that is out of control.. Whilst I would never want to see someone necessarily aborted. Given our over population crisis, I reluctantly understand the necessity of the service.

I'm going to look at this from a purely financial point of view, and ignore the entire religous aspect of it.


For three years, if I had to choose between giving planned parenthood 1.5 billion in funding, or adding 1 million more mouths to feed to the welfare budget...

Guess which one I'd choose ;)

[Lambchop]

Who will fund the lives of the 7 babies a teen gangbanger has if they can't abort?

[RBP]

Wait now we're using government money to control population? that's what this is? What are we, China?

Pretty sure we aren't forcing people to get abortions here :roll:

Well, an egg is alive the moment it becomes fertilized and implants in the uterus. From that point on the egg cells are dividing and creating the baby. Dead cells do not multiply. If you aren't dead you are alive.

Seems pretty straight forward to me :shrug:

The argument was made that we need to pay to cull the unborn... what's the difference?

Well, they are trying to force employers to offer morning after pills in their health care coverage.

Would effectively kill planned parenthood.

For the most part it's to supply birth control to those that can't afford it in an attempt to reduce the amount of unwanted children and abortions.

[Muddy]

Every sprem is a missed opportunity for a child to be born. We must outlaw masturdbation.

But the article in the OP says those programs have been reduced while abortion services have increased?

Meh.

Likely due to cuts in funding.

I still have yet to grasp the reasoning people use to feel the need to stick their nose into other people's private business and how it affects them one way or the other.

We stick our noses into everyone's business all the time; they are called laws and community standards. You post lots of articles about child abuse as an example.

It's also not private when they get $500 Million in public funding.

You said it was a billion a few posts back.. Which is it?

it's both

$542 million public money is 45% of their revenue, so their total revenue is $1.2 billion using those numbers.

[Southern Belle]

The point is that the same people who are raising hell about gun control because all the little children got killed think it's ok to rip them out of the womb and throw them in the trash. Can anybody spell H Y P O C R I T E ?

Maybe when they get old and it COSTS too much to support them, it will be ok to just let them die.

[Muddy]

You know, a lot of what planned parent hood does is prevention.. Like education programs and birth control for lower income/ college kids..

I was thinking the same thing about your post..:razz:

I'm wondering if they have figured out a way to speed up the process from organic material => petroleum.

330,000 foetuses could provide quite a bit of energy. srs

[RBP]

I have been getting pissed off lately that nobody wants to cut ANYTHING.

We can't afford all this!

I am sure someone could argue for every program that it does SOME good.

Where do we start drawing lines?

And frankly I find the argument that we should pay for planned parenthood as population control and as an investment against future welfare payments abhorrent.

[Muddy]

Lets cut entitlements then... Whats unemployment run these days? 5 years?

[RBP]

You mean those poor hurting people who are victims of the Bush economy? You'd just cut them off?

That's a very unpopular notion, not that I disagree, but it is... like I said, everybody wants everything. It's out of hand.

Sorry, didn't realize they had outlawed abortion recently :oops:



Oh, wait :roll:

waaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'm so used to sucking off the government tit and dont know how to forage for my own food any longer! [-(

92% of planned "parenthood"'s clients last year received abortions.

I think its well about time we recognized that this is merely a taxpayer funded abortion factory.

Who said anything about outlawing abortion? But it's ludicrous to say it's a private matter when the taxpayers are on the hook for the expense.

So STFU and give me your money is now how we make decisions? Brilliant!

Yes, because every fucking dime of the federal funds received by PP is used for abortions :tup:

[Muddy]

When I was 20 years old, my then wife went to planned parenthood for reduced price pap smears and birth control. I was making $3.75 an hour and she was making $4.25 an hour. It was nice having that assistance. Without it she may not have been able to afford going to a doctor. Guess what.. Never had an abortion there.. Im not even sure they do abortions there in my town.

[RBP]

Again, never said that - but feel free to keep making shit up. :tup:

FBD posted 92% are abortion clients. I don't know how accurate that is, but regardless, they'd be high on my list for cuts.

let's not have selective picking of data negate other selective pickings of data :lol: this appears to be by money spent - what I posted was people going there for services, did they get one or not. not did they get std test along with their abortion, think about how often that happens.

[RBP]

Factcheck.org agrees with Lance and says that federal funds can't be used for abortion services.

Which is confusing since a lot of it comes from medicare?

Didn't realize he was privy to all the patient records at PP, I stand corrected :bow:

I'm done in here, you guys feel free to keep "making shit up" to support your position :tup:

Glad to see you all are so morally superior to everyone else :)

[FBD]

who's making shit up? we're presenting stats from different angles. if you want to say that 92% is wrong based on money doled out for this or that in aggregate, then you're ignoring the view, not somehow getting around it.

yeah, "federal funds cant be used for abortions" but the accounting is so fuzzy, you really think that's honestly followed? the pic lance put up is easily evidenced - "see, we spend over half our budget on these other things, so that % that actually goes to abortions, well, we keep those funds separate"

yeah, and MF Global kept their client funds separate, too :roll:

[Muddy]

FBD posted 92% are abortion clients. I don't know how accurate that is, but regardless, they'd be high on my list for cuts.

235% of all internet statistics are made up on the spot.

[FBD]

http://i.imgur.com/ZO7rj.jpg

Somehow 92% is hard to believe? One cant go and get STD check, cancer screen, other services, AND an abortion? And then follow up with contraception? Such a user would fall under a few categories in this pie chart, but would fall under one category were the stat I posted up in a pie chart. Had an abortion, didnt have an abortion. Simple. Where's the misunderstanding?

[Muddy]

:tinfoil:

[Acid Trip]

Take those 2009 figures and consider the last sentence in the original article.

"Contraceptive services at Planned Parenthood have dropped by 12 percent since 2009 (4% per year), and cancer screening & prevention services have dropped by 29 percent (10% per year)."

Those are/were the two main purposes of PP. They are in steep decline. The same money is being spent but on other things.
