What Health Care? 92% of Planned Parenthood’s Pregnant Customers Get Abortions

by Calvin Freiburger

For such a proud defender of the “right to choose,” Planned Parenthood notably chafes at the suggestion that its primary business is abortion. The organization’s spokespeople have laughably claimed that abortion constitutes just 3% of their services – yet LifeNews reports that Planned Parenthood’s 2011-2012 annual report shows that 92% of the pregnant women who come to them receive abortions.

LifeNews also report several astonishing findings from the Susan B. Anthony List’s analysis of the numbers:

• During fiscal year 2011-2012, Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. Taxpayer funding consists of 45% of Planned Parenthood’s annual revenue.

• In 2011, Planned Parenthood performed a record high 333,964 abortions.

• Over the past three reported years (2009-2011), Planned Parenthood has performed nearly one million abortions (995,687).

• Planned Parenthood reported a total of three million clients in 2011, meaning that 11% of all Planned Parenthood clients received an abortion.

•  In 2011, abortions made up 92% of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services, while prenatal care and adoption referrals accounted for only 7% (28,674) and 0.6% (2,300), respectively. For every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed 145 abortions.

•  Cancer screening & prevention services and contraceptive services provided by Planned Parenthood continue to drop. Contraceptive services have dropped by 12% since 2009, and cancer screening & prevention services have dropped by 29%.
