Planned Parenthood not really interested in women's healthcare

According to an Americans United for Life (AUL) report, “The New Leviathan: How Planned Parenthood Has Become Abortion, Inc,” the abortion giant’s new mega centers across the country have cropped up in nearly 20 cities since 2004.

While Planned Parenthood likes to brag that it is focused on women's healthcare, the report also found that the number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood has increased by more than 70,000 annually - but that non-abortion services declined by more than 50 percent.

"Unlike the national trend observed by the Associated Press last week, the Centers for Disease Control, and everywhere else that abortions are on the decline, at Planned Parenthood abortion sales are up – meanwhile its overall patients and other services are down. This is as a result of a move to create abortion mega-centers to mass-produce abortions at an even deadlier rate,” AUL President Charmaine Yoest said.

And guess who's paying for a big chunk of Planned Parenthood's abortion practices? We are.  According to Planned Parenthood’s latest report, 41 percent of its $1.3 billion in revenue came from U.S. taxpayers.

When he first took office in 2009, President Obama vowed he would be a major supporter of Planned Parenthood and we have the $1.3 billion price tag to prove it. To Obama, it didn't matter when a video emerged in 2011 catching a Planned Parenthood worker advising an undercover "pimp" on how to procure abortions for his 14-year-old "sex slaves." 

She went on to coach him on how the girls could continue providing "sex services" while they healed from their abortions - practices that are outlined on Planned Parenthood's youth website, teenwire.com. Since that first video, undercover videos have surfaced showing five different Planned Parenthood centers helping supposed sex traffickers obtain abortions for underage girls without parental notification.

Since Planned Parenthood adamantly opposes parental notification laws, it's no wonder its workers would allow a child to undergo any surgical procedure without her parents' knowledge. But turning a blind eye to the alleged human trafficking of children should itself be enough to prosecute and flat-out shut down Planned Parenthood for good. Instead, we're being forced to continue paying for it.

Despite these practices, Planned Parenthood still draws accolades in some circles, maybe because many aren't aware of its origin, which is anything but praiseworthy. While Obama consistently decries racism in America, he apparently has no issue with the blatant racism Planned Parenthood was founded upon in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, a woman who praised the Ku Klux Klan and Hitler's "eugenics" approach to exterminating "inferior" races. In 1939 Sanger even started the Negro Project with the goal of reducing the black population, and admitted she created Planned Parenthood to achieve "racial purification."

Today a chillingly disproportionate number of Planned Parenthood clinics reside in poor inner city areas where black populations are the highest, and studies by both the Center for Disease Control and the Guttmacher Institute reveal that nearly half of all pregnancies among black women end in abortion, a much higher percentage than the rest of the population. 

Over the past few years, several sting operations have documented Planned Parenthood clinic workers agreeing to financial donations that would specifically fund the abortion of black babies. It's an outrage that should sicken one's stomach, yet Planned Parenthood still portrays itself as a "champion of women," and, inexplicably, Sanger herself is celebrated in exhibits at the Smithsonian and by modern public figures like Hillary Clinton and our own president.

And we, the taxpayers, get stuck with the bill.
