PLANNED PARENTHOOD FACTS
------------------------------
You may have been told that Planned Parenthood provides
healthcare for poor women and prevents abortions -- and
that abortion accounts for only 3% of its services.
That is hardly the case.
Nearly every Planned Parenthood "service" may be
obtained from a county health department, community
clinic or private physician. All except one -- abortion.
How can an organization that, by its own admission,
carried out 332,278 abortions (the annual total
increases EVERY YEAR), claim to prevent them?
Planned Parenthood says abortion comprises only 3% of
its services. That's true -- IF you use a definition of
"service" that treats abortions, birth control
prescriptions and STD tests as equal.
However, when you look at clinic income, you get a
much clearer picture regarding the importance of
abortion to Planned Parenthood.
According to their own annual report, Planned
Parenthood's clinic income was $405 million. As noted,
they performed 332,278 abortions. Assuming an average
cost of $500 per abortion, that means abortion brought
in $166 million.
That figure represents 41% of Planned Parenthood's
total clinic income. As always, follow the money.
I could say much more about Planned Parenthood. But
for today, I would just ask you to please PRAY.
* PRAY that the light of truth shines on this
organization and its activities.
* PRAY that the people who work there will see that
light -- and seek honorable work elsewhere.
* PRAY that the women seeking abortions there will
understand -- and choose life for their babies.
* PRAY!
