Planned Parenthood is becoming the Walmart of abortion clinics. It’s new business plan includes building massive abortion centers in major cities. The newest one will be in St. Paul, Minnesota, too close to home for comfort. Many western Wisconsin women travel to the Twin Cities for abortions and you can be certain that the St. Paul mega-clinic will advertise close to home.
According to Scott Fischbach, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life Executive Director, the 46,000-square-foot St. Paul clinic will be located near Hamline University, Concordia University, growing ethnic populations and the future Central Corridor light-rail line. Perfect for attracting those college and minority women. Fischbach states that Planned Parenthood is in a position to receive millions more in taxpayer dollars under Obamacare and the Minnesota PP is set to collect the rewards by expanding its abortion business and abortion income.
“Planned Parenthood Foundation of America hailed the passage of Obama’s pro-abortion health care overhaul as ‘a huge victory,’” says Fischbach. “Not only does the law subsidize health plans that cover abortion, it also opens the door to direct federal funding of abortions at so-called Community Health Centers. On its website, Planned Parenthood claims that 850 Community Health Centers are run by Planned Parenthood affiliates.”
More taxpayer money, more abortions, more abortion revenue for Planned Parenthood.
PP has opened or plans to open mega abortions centers in Houston, Chicago and other locations.

It is an unholy alliance. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has done a brilliant job of positioning itself as the leading non-profit fighting breast cancer. Komen fundraisers are everywhere — large towns, small towns, cruise ships, etc. Somehow, Komen managed to become entangled in the Planned Parenthood web. It is estimated that Komen affiliates have given Planned Parenthood up to $4 million since 2003.
Here’s the rub. Numerous reliable reports indicate that abortion is a risk factor for breast cancer. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. Komen is giving funds to an organization that is increasing the incidence of breast cancer through its abortion practice.
Jill Stanek has been following the Komen/Planned Parenthood connection and learned that Komen has decreased its giving to Planned Parenthood by 10% from 2008 to 2009. At its website, Komen displays “Komen’s Message Points.” Previously, it read: “For our fiscal year ‘08, Komen Affiliates contributed nearly $805,000 to Planned Parenthood programs.” Stanek states that now it reads: “For our fiscal year ‘09, Komen Affiliates contributed $731,000 to Planned Parenthood programs. There were also subtle word changes that may indicate a distancing from Planned Parenthood.
As a breast cancer survivor, I have a personal stake in this and have been vocal about why I will not participate in Kome fundraisers. Many others have complained to Komen about its PP connection. Perhaps we are collectively having an impact on the Komen Foundation.
