WASHINGTON (BP)--Planned Parenthood, the country's No. 1 abortion provider, increased its count of the lethal procedures to 300,000-plus per year and again totaled $1 billion in revenue, according to its latest annual report.
Affiliates of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) recorded 305,310 abortions in 2007, the latest year for which statistics were reported. In 2006, PPFA accounted for 289,750 abortions.
Its total revenue reached $1.04 billion, with $349.6 million of that in government grants and contracts. Those figures are based on the financial year from July 2007 to June 2008.
PPFA's abortion figures include those performed by surgical means in its clinics as well as those done by use of the abortion pill RU 486.
Planned Parenthood's abortion toll actually may be far greater. PPFA distributed more than 1.4 million "emergency contraception" kits in 2007. "Emergency contraception," also known as the "morning-after" pill or Plan B, works to restrict ovulation in a woman, but it also can act after conception, thereby causing an abortion. This mechanism of the drug blocks implantation of a tiny embryo in the uterine wall.

One abortion would still be an abomination before God, and a blot on this country.

One penny would still be a crime.
WHY is the government permitted to steal money from me and give it to murder merchants?
That’s the 349 million dollar question. I wrestle with this everyday..that our family income is used in so many ways that violate my personal beliefs.
Industrial democide.
They are mining fetus’s.
A pretty lucrative business.
Ronald Reagan said, it’s funny how everyone who is in favor of abortion has already been born. The Socialist Obama and the Socialist Congress want our tax dollars to pay for abortion, not just in the U.S., but worldwide.
300,000 people aborted is a holocaust.How many generations must we annihilate? God have mercy....
Killing babies is big business.
Harvesting their cells and parts is an up-and-coming big business.
If you believe there is a God, should you be surprised if he smites us all?
300,000 good friends, helpful neighbors, great leaders, innovators.
Well, at least the “parents” have more “me time”.
Forgive us, Lord. Not all in this land stand with these demonic butchers.
“300,000 abortions a year”
Why not say “300,000 dead American babies a year”?
When are we going to close these “death camps”? To think we prosecuted those who ran such activities for the Nazis.

My family’s lifestyle is disconnected from the larger culture in many ways. In fact, we look for ways to be independent (but not isolated) from the madness going on around us. Unfortunately, the taxes must be rendered unto Caesar. One way to reduce your share of the blood money is to reduce your income . . .

While not for all, I think this approach has a lot of merit and much that can be incorporated into all of our lives. The flip side of self-reliance is more family time . . .
A generation of people have been wiped out. It’s no wonder democrats want aliens to become legal. They’re after the tax money.
It’s all sick, and the sickest one is Obama who voted against the Born Alive Act. He couldn’t even give food, water, or warmth to a baby who survived an abortion.
Congratulations, Planned Deathhood!
Some day God will have his retribution.
“Planned Parenthood surpasses 300,000 abortions a year”
Wow! That’s something to really be proud of!
/worldclass sarcasm
But the question begs to be asked ( and answered)..what belongs..truly belongs to Caesar? I’ve had this discussion with many people and the argument is that, as Christians, we are to abide by the law of the land. I agree with that to a degree, but when man’s law violates God’s higher law..well..that’s problematic for me.I’m sure it’s the same for most of my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thanks for the link..checking it out now.
