Planned Parenthood is Aborting America's Future

In order to celebrate their love for abortion on demand, America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, helped organize a march that brought thousands of abortion supporters to Washington, D.C. on April 25, 2004. Even though most media outlets reported the number of people marching to be in the low to mid hundreds of thousands, Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocating organizations are still clinging onto the claim that more than a million people were there.

Even though abortion is legal in every one of America’s 50 states and many states even spend tax-payer dollars on abortion, Planned Parenthood still felt that it was necessary to protest against what they call “attacks on women’s reproductive rights.” Also known as any attempt to reduce or restrict abortion in any way.

After looking at Planned Parenthood’s annual report, one can clearly see why Planned Parenthood is so concerned with keeping every abortion legal. They are in the abortion business and they don’t want their business lessened in any way. Planned Parenthood clinics performed 227,375 abortions in 2002, a number that is between one-sixth and one-fifth of all abortions performed in the United States in 2002. If the number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood is multiplied by the cost of an abortion (approximately $400), we see that they brought in close to $100 million dollars from performing abortions in 2002.

The pro-abortion march was called the “March for Women’s Lives.” Ironic, considering they were marching for unfettered use of a procedure that has ended the lives of more than 20 million unborn female human beings since 1973. In all the marching for women’s lives, no one mentioned Holly Patterson, a California teen who died in September of 2003 after taking the RU-486 cocktail of abortion drugs that she received at Planned Parenthood. Why wasn’t anyone from Planned Parenthood marching for Holly’s life?
