That’s according to their newly released 2010 annual report, documenting they performed over 329,000 abortions or abortion related services, and a token 841 adoption referrals. This official release reveals a startling 83 percent drop in adoption referrals compared to their 2007 numbers, showing clearly how they live up to their street names of “Planned Barrenhood” and “Pro-death” because as their own statistics prove they are Pro-abortion,” “Anti-Life” and Anti-Adoption.” Planned Parenthood has a strong financial agenda to encourage abortion over adoption, and the planning of parenthood is not part of the agenda. The Susan B. Anthony List, a Political Action Committee which aims to elect pro-life candidates, advocates defunding Planned Parenthood. Their president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, stated, “With over a billion in net assets and a business model centered on abortion and government subsidies, it is time for Planned Parenthood to end its reliance on taxpayer dollars.” Several candidates are listed on their site as pro-life, including Senator Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Governor Mitt Romney. Fortunately, the Hyde Amendment of 1977 is still in existence, which allows abortion only in certain circumstances for women on Medicare, which technically means taxpayer money is not completely funding abortions; however, 46 percent of Planned Parenthood’s annual budget does come from the United States government through grants and reimbursements. The government has shown clear support of the program. What does taxpayer money fund at Planned Parenthood? 38 percent of Planned Parenthood’s budget goes to STD testing and treatment, while another 33 percent goes to birth control. While government money may not be directly funding abortions, pro-life watchdog organization Americans United for Life states in a report that Planned Parenthood’s revenue from abortions accounts for about 38 percent of their annual revenue. Abortion is clearly a profitable business for Planned Parenthood whose misleading name keeps luring young mothers into their web of high pressure pro-abortion indoctrination.
