Every now and then, I come across a pro-abortion zealot who seems to believe that Planned Parenthood "has nothing to do with abortions, they don't perform them, they refer them, they only provide a much needed service of low-cost birth-control to people who need it blah blah blah...." To argue that Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with abortions is to be woefully ignorant of the facts. Here are some facts:


-- Since 1977 Planned Parenthood has made $815 million from abortion procedures

-- In 2000 alone, Planned Parenthood made over $68 million from abortion procedures

-- Abortion procedures account for 29 percent of Planned Parenthood's clinic income

-- For fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, 30 percent of Planned Parenthood's income came from U.S. taxpayers

-- Planned Parenthood has made a profit each year for the past 15 years

-- Planned Parenthood's yearly abortion numbers have increased each year since 1994

-- Planned Parenthood's profits over the past 15 years total over $454 million

-- In 2000, Planned Parenthood accounted for approximately 15 percent of all U.S. abortions

-- Planned Parenthood has performed over 3 million abortion since 1977

-- Planned Parenthood's yearly abortion rate increased 7.8 percent from 1999 to 2000

Nothing to do with abortion? Pull your head out of your ass.
