Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
You did it! You helped pay Planned Parenthood a record amount in taxpayer funding. For their part, Planned Parenthood performed a record number of abortions during 2011-2012.
The Susan B. Anthony List breaks down the numbers from the PPFA annual report:
- During fiscal year 2011-2012, Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. Taxpayer funding consists of 45% of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue.
- In 2011, Planned Parenthood performed a record high 333,964 abortions.
You had a great year, you and Planned Parenthood, working together to perform one million abortions in three years! And don't forget all those adoption referrals -- the one for every 150 abortions performed -- great ratio!
The mainstream media and pundit class helped spread the message that Planned Parenthood is all about contraception and mammograms, a remarkable feat for a group that performs, well, no mammograms. We can assume the media will not publicize that contraceptive services dropped by 12 percent since 2009.
But we can rest assured that if anyone else tries to extricate itself from the abortion business, like Susan G. Komen did when it tried quietly to stop giving the group a few hundred thousand dollars a year, the media will go to bat for the abortion business. They almost assuredly will not mention that Planned Parenthood has reported $87.4 million in excess revenue and more than $1.2 billion in net assets.
That can be our little secret.
Just think what we can do next year, with your money and Planned Parenthood's abortion business and motivation (and continued Planned Parenthood intervention in federal races to the tune of $7 million a cycle!).

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
That post paints a very different picture from the howling we heard from people who basically claimed that defunding PP was more or less the same as killing them.
Abortion issue aside, it's just more anecdotal evidence that the government's business, among other things, is paying off its friends.

It's basic economics. Give something away for free and consumption goes up.

The use of government money to lobby government and fund candidates is one of those creeping cancers on democracy it is too easy to ignore. Until it is too late. Perhaps it already is: there certainly seems to be a lot of permanent government in place...

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
In the movie The Godfather Part II, there’s a bloody scene in a bordello where the Corleones are trying to corrupt a senator who’s giving them trouble. They frame the senator for the murder of a prostitute. In trying to lure the senator into making a deal with them, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) utters one of the most chilling and evil justifications you’ll ever hear:
“This girl has no family -- nobody knows that she worked here. It'll be as if she never existed.”
That’s the same justification behind abortion: it’ll be as if the fetus never existed. Don’t worry, no one will know. It’s just a bunch of cells, has no face, no brain, no voice … not a real person … it’ll be as if she never existed.
Over 330,000 abortions? About the size of St. Louis, or Pittsburgh.
Gone.
As if they never existed.

Oh, they don't use your money for the lobbying, I don't think. They use it to pay for everything at the Planned Parenthood except for abortions. How does this work? Well, see, you may be lighting and heating and staffing the joint, but you're not killing the unborn child. Trust us.

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
There was a spokesperson for PP on O'Reilly last night - Cristina Page - who turned visibly redder and redder as she lied about PP's funding. She should stick to radio appearances, or at least wear a turtleneck next time.

I'm glad these figures are getting some exposure. O'Reilly lead with it last night and did a great job exposing this scandal. If you missed it: http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/index.html#/v/2081918892001/aborting-babies-at-taxpayers-expense/?playlist_id=86923

The person who doesn't care about the killing of a few babies isn't likely to care about the killing of a few hundred thousand.

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
Something I've noticed about PP is that when they're being criticized, they refer to the organization as a healthcare provider only, but when they're promoting themselves, they refer to their political advocacy work foremost. In addition to the audit over use of taxpayer dollars for abortion, I'd like to see an audit of whether taxpayers dollars support their political wing. The medical and political branches share a CEO, offices, and HR portal -- and that's what I found in five minutes on their sites. What other expenses might they be sharing, and is the law clear on this?

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
This is my snarky response:
It is critical to a working democracy that its public institutions work (if about 50 percent of an organization's revenues are direct subsidies from government, then I think we can legitimately call it a "public institution"). These institutions can't manage health care, financial markets, pothole repair, or education, but the American public can be proud that Planned Parenthood is so efficient and responsive. Destroying fetuses appears to be one of government's core competencies.

Also post-op, distribution of $5 condoms, "doctor visit" when you pick up prescriptions from the desk, and unwanted pregnancy tests. (Oh, but they paid back, like, half of the illegal charges they were caught making....)

True, but they might care about that fact that they are paying for it.

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
The numbers will be even higher for 2013 as Planned Parenthood has required all affiliates to perform abortions (apparently not all affiliates did).We are so in need of a third great awakening.

Re: Congrats On Your Banner Year ... In Abortions
If you told someone that 500,000 women were killed in three years, or 20,000 homosexuals, they would assume it was in Nazi Germany, or some combination of all the worst regimes in the world.
I'm not sure how this isn't considered an act of genocide. Not an actual genocide, mind you, in accordance with State Department policy... just an act of it.
