Planned Parenthood has very little to do with Parenting
Alexa at Birth Story
Other interesting facts about PP:
-- Planned Parenthood took in an estimated $104 million from its surgical abortion business, accounting for over one-third of its $302.6 million clinic income.
-- Planned Parenthood aborted 138 children for every adoption referral to an outside agency. During Gloria Feldt's first full year as president of PPFA (1997), the group's abortion/adoption ratio was 18:1. Under Feldt, abortions have consistently increased and adoption referrals have decreased.
-- Even after 18-year-old Holly Patterson was killed by complications from an RU-486 abortion at Planned Parenthood, the organization sold the dangerous abortion pill over 95,000 times at 203 of its clinics, including 49 that began selling the pill last year though they do not do surgical abortions.
-- Elected officials gave PPFA a record $265.2 million, nearly 33 percent of its $810 million total income.
-- For the 18th year in a row, Planned Parenthood turned a net profit. This year's $35.2 million brings its total profits over the 18 years to $538 million.

PP isn't really about parenthood, it's about death. And they've made half a billion dollars off of it, too.
