Paying the tab for Planned Parenthood

Taxpayers pick up a third of it. Chances are, most of us didn’t know that.

Abortion supporters, in their own words

Sheila Liaugminas | 16 March 2011
A majority of Americans are opposed to abortion, and recognizing it is legal, the majority have expressed that they don’t want their tax dollars to be spent on assisting the abortion industry. The effort in Congress to de-fund Planned Parenthood has grown emotional and tense at times, with dramatic claims made by abortion supporters in defense of federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

For the first time since 2002, the nation’s largest abortion provider has been called to an accounting. How much federal funding do they receive and how much do they spend, and therefore ‘need?’ It took 31 U.S. senators and congressional representatives asking for such a report to get the books opened for review. And what they found was a big discrepancy.
