Planned Parenthood Performed 323k Abortions in 2014, Accepted $553.7m in Taxpayer Funds

2015-12-30

[The Blaze] Planned Parenthood has released its 2014-2015 annual report at the conclusion of a year marked by controversy for the organization.
Appears Margaret Sanger's depopulation plan is coming along nicely.
"There never has been a more important time to stand for and with Planned Parenthood," Jill Lafer, the chair of Planned Parenthood, and Cecile Richards the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, wrote in an opening letter. "We are at a critical moment in our history. Over the past several months, we have been tested in every way imaginable -- and have emerged stronger than ever."

The report states that "In the pages that follow, we present highlights from a year filled with achievements and breakthroughs."

#11 According to the Planned Parenthood website, patients are charged on a sliding scale for abortions depending on ability to pay. If they have health insurance they are to bring their insurance card and i.d. when they come to the initial appointment.

#10 I am sure that they mostly charge the patients for the operation itself and shake the government down for "counseling services" in which they recommend that the patient get an abortion. This process would maximize their revenue and allow for the claim that tax dollars don't go to fund abortions. The government also probably funds Morning After pills which "aren't an abortion." Also the government may be paying for Planned Parenthood to sterilize people in other countries or provide other State Department services overseas.

#9 I'm guessing the same thing, too, M. Murcek. >:-(

#8 $1700, when prophylactic devices are already provided free by public and private health services organizations. Puritanical denial and lack of education has a price.

Easy to bitch about the cost but not so easy for parents to teach their ten year olds about sexual hygiene. Few of these are criminal conceptions.

#7 I guess we will see if Tsarnaev gets the same expedited treatment. I'm guessing "no..."

#6 McVeigh was convicted directly by the Feds, #5 P2k. Skipping all the state court appeals shortens the appeal time tremendously.

#5 Obviously cheaper than terminating a convicted murderer on death row. How come they get a decade long waiting period?*

* oddly Tim McVeigh was able to skip the usual waiting period.

#4 Did the report detail non-government insurance payments and self-pays? You need to know that in order to figure out the approximate change for a life termination.

#2 Hmm $1700/abortion seems steep. How much were they able to recoup by selling baby parts for scrap?

#1 A little over $1700. per procedure if my math is correct.
