Planned Dis-Parenthood is raking in the money. There ought to be an investigation into the record gouging being perpetrated upon the American by this organization that is losing donations but increasing profits. Considering that their major source of income is the remarkable fetus baby killing machine they have established. Every Democrat I have heard wants to reduce abortions…. but again the proof is in the pudding. They are in favor of record profits. They accuse Republicans of killing for oil…. it appears that they are in favor of just killing babies for profit. Excuse the outburst but this is outrageous.
Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, Profits, Tax Funds
Randy Hall
(CNSNews.com) - Despite a drop in donations and the first fall in income from clinics in its history, the nation’s biggest abortion provider made a record profit last year, thanks to the American taxpayer. Pro-lifers want this to stop.
During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, attained a record profit of $55.8 million and received record taxpayer funding of $305.3 million.
According to its annual report, income is divided roughly into three major categories: clinic income (fees charged to customers at clinics); donations (gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals); and taxpayer money (grants and contracts from federal, state and local government).
For the year July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006, Planned Parenthood received $345.1 million in clinic income, $305.3 million in taxpayer funding and $212.2 million in donations. Total income reached $902.8 million while total expenses came to $847.0 million, leaving a profit of $55.8 million.
Numerous calls to Planned Parenthood offices in both New York City and Washington, D.C., seeking comment for this article, were not returned, but a statement on the organization’s website says that the report “illustrates the achievements of an organization founded to prevent unintended pregnancy and protect women’s health and safety.”
“During a year of great change and growth, and in a political climate of increasing assaults on sexual and reproductive rights and health, Planned Parenthood continued to make enormous strides toward protecting and strengthening the reproductive health and rights of women and men worldwide,” the statement adds.
Jim Sedlak, executive director of Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP) International, told Cybercast News Service on Thursday that the flow of taxpayer dollars to the abortion provider “has to be stopped. Since our elected officials won’t do their job, it’s up to us.”
“Clearly, it was a good overall year for Planned Parenthood,” he said. “Total income went up 2.4 percent, passing $900 million for the first time.”
At the same time, however, he said further analysis revealed “potential trouble spots” for the PPFA.
The report showed that income from clinics was down about $1.5 million from the previous year - the first such decline in the organization’s 50-year history - while donations also fell by $3.6 million.
So why was Planned Parenthood able to report a record profit?
“The final category of Planned Parenthood revenue sources is you and me - the American taxpayer,” Sedlak said. He noted that the amount of taxpayer funding reported by PPFA exceeded that of the previous year by $32.6 million, or 12 percent.
“The bottom line is that Planned Parenthood is losing donations, its clinic income is down, and you and I are being forced to pay more so the organization can kill our children through abortion and spread its perverted ideology throughout the land,” Sedlak said.
They certainly don’t need taxpayer money. Nor do I want them to get my money to support them.
