Planned Parenthood Forcing Affiliates to Perform Abortions – Bah Humbug

At a time when most observe the most profound unplanned pregnancy and birth of all time, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is busy hammering its affiliates to perform abortions. In the works for three years, 2013 is the year where PPFA affiliates must comply with its abortion mandate. Some are not going along like lemmings. The latest affiliate to cut ties is Planned Parenthood of South Central New York (PPSCNY) which wants to focus on real health care for women, not performing abortions. The first affiliate to drop ties was Planned Parenthood of South Texas.

You may not know that PPFA’s Action Fund spent millions of advertising dollars during the presidential campaign branding itself as a woman’s health care organization which provides breast exams and pap smears to low income women. Strategically picking an audience receptive to its message, PP sold the idea that under Romney women would be denied health care, birth control, equal pay for equal work, etc. The word “abortion” was avoided, as PP knows Americans continue to be uncomfortable with abortion on demand and wants to hide its extensive work as the nation’s abortion giant.

Here are the facts:

• PPFA is the nation’s largest abortion provider, performing 330,000 abortion each year.
• At around $400/abortion, PPFA receives $132 million each year from abortions, making it an enormous cash cow for the PPFA business plan.
• Abortion accounts for 31% of PPFA income and 91% of its “services” to pregnant women.
• By forcing its affiliates to perform abortions, PPFA is clearly attempting to corner the abortion market even more significantly.
• PPFA aggressively opposes any and all restrictions on abortion, refusing to recognize the interests of taxpayers, families, and even the women it claims to serve.

Bah humbug PPFA says to its affiliates. Comply — or else.
