US abortion clinics are the worst in the world, women are bleeding to death, rapes are unreported and there are massive profits?
This is the taxpayer's money and it should be refunded.

Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, High Profits -- 06/15/2007

Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, High Profits

(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 high profit last year, thanks to the American taxpayer. Pro-lifers want this to stop.

During its 2005-2006 fiscal year, the nonprofit Planned Parenthood Federation of America performed a record 264,943 abortions, attained a high 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."

Wow, you’re a complete idiot. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you’ve never visited a Planned Parenthood, much less any abortion provider, in the U.S. or elsewhere. So that already refutes any claims made by you that U.S. abortion clinics are the worst in the world. Where in god’s name do you even make statements that women are bleeding to death???? Perhaps in the third world because their medical technology is not up to par with the U.S.

Rapes are unreported not due to abortions! Most of them are unreported because the woman feels she would be humiliated and does not think any good can come out of it.

If you’re going to talk about profits, why don’t you look up the stats for what the oil execs made last year or the pharmaceuticals? Planned Parenthood is a clinic and though it’s not free, it’s cheaper especially for those without medical insurance—so yea…it’s going to make money. It’s like saying the hospitals made a profit last year. Way to go Einstein…you just figured out that medical procedures or visits to a healthcare facility cost money in this country! Next time try not to post anything so ridiculous, Captain Obvious!

[quote=FromRussiaWithLove;380748]Planned Parenthood has profits of $60 million and abortion clinics have the worst Doctors in the nation and can not treat a woman bleeding to death??
Rape is a crime, period and it's a crime to not report a rape, period.
Using a clothes hanger in an ally is safer and cheaper for everyone involved.
Using taxpayer's money to fund abortion is a violation of the separation of church and state. It violates the US Constitution!

Rape is a crime, period and it's a crime to not report a rape, period. Have you ever been raped or knew women who have?
Using a clothes hanger in an ally is safer and cheaper for everyone involved. And you would know due to your experience in getting a back ally abortion By making this statement you are compromising your aforementioned notion of supposed "women bleeding to death", since this would most likely occur in a situation of a back ally abortion and not inside the wall of a clinic! Are you saying you are okay with women bleeding to death, since you think a clothes hanger in an ally is "safer and cheaper for everyone involved"?
Using taxpayer's money to fund abortion is a violation of the separation of church and state. It violates the US Constitution! Ever hear of Roe v. Wade dumbass???

That's total BS wow. Doctors at abortion clinics are able to treat all situations that may arise and there's been no woman that has bled to death in an abortion clinic that I've ever heard of. And if the doctor feels he can't treat something that comes up the woman is sent to a hospital where she can be treated. Where the hell do you get this crap anyhow.

"using a coat hanger in an alley is safer", you are completely out of your freaking mind...

Stop being a Palerider clone and give up the scare tactics, smart people see right through you.

After you've been raped yourself come back and tell us it's a crime to not report rape.

wow, once again proving yourself to be the hands down most retarded poster on this site. everything that comes out of you is just pure stupid

What this means to the abortion debate is that the people and organizations who defend the morality of abortion the most vehemently are generally the very same ones who rake in huge profits from its continued availability. This sets up a significant conflict of interest and should immediately call into question any claims they might make about their desire to reduce the number of abortions. When Planned Parenthood argues that they're working hard to reduce the frequency of abortion, the fact remains that their financial livelihood is built on abortion. Planned Parenthood, then, is just like the big tobacco companies. Does anyone really believe that tobacco companies want people to stop smoking? Does anyone really believe that Planned Parenthood wants people to stop having abortions? Follow the money.

Those who defend abortion, arguing that it is good and necessary for a healthy society, are defending an institution which is making them very wealthy. On the flip side, those who defend unborn life, arguing that abortion is an act of violence against an innocent human being, do so at great financial cost. There is no pay-off on the pro-life side. All the efforts to educate people about the reality of abortion consume large amounts of money, and there is no billion dollar product to refill the coffer. Think about it. Those who support abortion the most are growing rich off its continued availability while those who oppose abortion the most are losing money for their efforts. Who, then, is more likely to be honest and forthright about the issue at hand? Who is more likely to be motivated by principle and who is more likely to be motivated by profit?

what you portray as scandal is really obvious and logical.

Abortion profits need to be eliminated.
These profits and the CEO making millions leads to greed, more abortions and horrible doctors and conditions in abortion clinics.
