Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, Profits, Tax Funds
Randy Hall
Staff Writer/Editor

(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.

...............

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, noted that while the PPFA reported carrying out a record number of abortions in 2005-2006, it "did not record a single adoption referral."

Planned Parenthood can give up their profits when Haliburton gives up theirs. In capitalist America, abortions are a medical service, and since nobody wants socialized healthcare, companies charge for medical services. Does that taint their credibility as a lobbiest? Maybe.

Really? I don't know much about abortion pricing, but that sounds like a good deal. Do they offer 2-for-1?

The Liberals call Bush a murderer for the war but they happily kill 1/4 million babies a year.

Sorry to bring up Haliburton, but they're profiting from others' misfortune, just like Planned Parenthood, no? Sorry that you don't like valid examples because they hit you in your weak spot.

It wouldn't be a discussion if you didn't bring up my bottom-line mentality, when applicable, and it won't be a discussion if I don't bring up Iraq, when applicable. Your sporadic stupidity isn't off the table just because it involves a certain war.
