That’s much worse than I thought.

I think we need to drive a stake through Planned Parenthood, one way or another. My first thought was to publicize your list, but that might actually do more harm than good, because the more you talk about sex the more you desensitize people, which is exactly what PP is trying to do. The most important step is to take away their taxpayer funding, I think.

There is plenty of Planned Parenthood tax payer funding to go after. In their fiscal year 2005-2006, Planned Parenthood took in $305.3 million in government grants and contracts - that makes up more than one-third of their total income. (Source: PP's Annual Reports can be found online.)

Most of it comes through the Dept. of Health and Human Services, but the funding itself is authorized by The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
