Over the holiday
weekend, America’s largest abortion provider released its 2016 – 2017
annual report.
According to that report and former ones (plus numbers
supplied by pro-life groups), Planned Parenthood has been responsible
for the death of more than 7.6 million babies, from 1973 through 2017.
That means
a population somewhere between the sizes of New
York City and Los
Angeles is missing.
The timing of
Planned Parenthood’s new report came as a surprise, considering that the 2015 –
2016 reportwas released last
May. That may be because the abortion giant was under pressure: while the
national abortion rate was decreasing,
Planned Parenthood’s abortion rate was increasing.
This latest report changed that.
From 2016 to
2017, Planned Parenthood performed 321,384 abortions. That’s
6,964 fewer abortions than the year
before. And Planned Parenthood can’t credit contraception for that slight
decline – because it also provided less contraception services (from 2,808,815
to 2,701,866).
And while
adoption referrals increased since last year’s report (from 2,889 to 3,889), prenatal
services decreased (from 9,419 to 7,762). Still, that means that for every
prenatal service given, Planned Parenthood performed 41 abortions, and for
every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood committed close to 83 abortions.
Another decrease came in government funding. The abortion giant received
$543.7 million (37% of its revenue) from “government health services,
reimbursements & grants.” According to Planned Parenthood’s 2015 – 2016
annual report, a year earlier, the organization received $554.6 million. It’s
not like Planned Parenthood is in need though, considering that its excess
revenue increased from
$77.5 million to $98.5 million.
