Planned Parenthood Report: More Abortions, Fewer Adoptions and Prenatal Care
Life News ^ | 4/4/08 | Steven Ertelt

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A further examination of the new annual report Planned Parenthood recently released finds the abortion business is still the largest in the United States. As in previous years, the number of abortions it does has gone up and roughly 25 percent of all abortions in the United States are done at Planned Parenthood centers.

The report shows that Planned Parenthood did 289,750 abortions, an increase over the 264,943 abortions it did during the 2005-2006 fiscal year.

That's a whopping nine percent increase even though the number of abortions nationally are on the decline.

"It claims to be reducing pregnancy; yet one out of every four abortions in the United States is committed at a Planned Parenthood facility," watchdog Jim Sedlak told LifeNews.com.

The number of abortions dwarfs the number of clients receiving prenatal care -- which totaled just 11,058 in the new annual report. That number is almost a 20 percent decline from the 2005-2006 total of 13,261.

The number of Planned Parenthood adoption referrals is also miniscule and continues to drop.

The previous annual report showed a scant 2,413 referrals and the abortion business made three less in the last fiscal year.

The adoption and prenatal numbers are also surprising given the increase in the total number of clients at Planned Parenthood. The pro-abortion group had 3.14 million customers in 2006-2007, which represented a 2.5 percent increase or almost 80,000 more customers than the year prior.

The new numbers also show Planned Parenthood continues to make millions on the sale of the morning after pill -- in emergency contraception kits.

Planned Parenthood sold over 1.24 million of the kits in the last fiscal year and, in 2006-2007, the figure rose to 1.43 million.

If a recent expose showing huge markups at California Planned Parenthoods is any evidence, the abortion business has turned selling the Plan B drug into a money-making machine.

Planned Barrenhood doesn't even try to hide their agenda any more.

It has always amazed me that the real BABY-KILLERS couch their agenda by claiming to be “pro-choice”, yet denegrate the military by calling us “baby-killers”.

DISGUSTING!

Excellent point! Any serviceman who purposely kills a baby should and probably will face a court martial and be imprisoned for the remainder of his life. Yet American abortuaries slaughter 3500 babies EVERY SINGLE DAY.

“A further examination of the new annual report Planned Parenthood recently released finds the abortion business is still the largest in the United States.”

Not to hijack this thread, but that is some seriously crappy writing.

The abortion business is bigger than farming? Automobiles? Insurance? Banking? Retailing? Sadly, government?

Re-read it. "The abortion business" refers to Planned Parenthood, not the abortion industry.

Here is another example:

A further examination of the new annual report WalMart recently released finds the retailer is still the largest in the United States.

PP does adoption referrals? Since when? At all their facilities? Do they market it as vehemently as the abortion “choice”?

Planned Barrenhood did 2410 adoption referrals last year, they do that many abortions EVERY THREE DAYS.

Planned Parenthood (read Murder, Inc.) is the favorite stepchild of the democrap party. It is the going price for democrat empowerment to kill nearly 300,000 alive unborn children each year in the rites ... democrat party empowerment rites that is.

And I’ll bet in every case, the pregnant woman had to BEG for an adoption referral. If adoption were presented non-judgmentally, as the equal but different option that the term “pro-choice” suggests, there would be many more adoptions. Clearly, authentic choice is not PP’s objective.

“Planned Parenthood did 289,750 abortions”

Why are we not putting this on billboards across America?

Planned Parenthood is manufacturing abortions.

They teach juveniles to have sex, convince them to pay to have their babies killed, then reap huge profits.

I cannot think of anything more evil.

I am a guardian for children and had to go to the Department of Social and Health Services to pick up some paperwork today. It distressed me to see a Planned Parenthood office right inside the state building! Happy to refer welfare clients to their “Women’s Health” division for baby butchering.

“Here is another example:

Completely disagree. With all respect, your example is not well constructed.

Here is an analogous version:

A further examination of the new annual report WalMart recently released finds the clothing business is still the largest in the United States.

great idea...bill boards across america...what is the ratio of adoption referrals to abortions?

It seems like a pretty good time to set up a maternity home!
