The latest data from Planned Parenthood’s annual report shows that they performed 332,278 termination procedures according to their 2009 annual report which spans from mid-2008 to mid-2009. The Guttmacher Institute which was founded as a division of Planned Parenthood reported that there were 1,212,400 total U.S. abortions in 2008 which is their latest data. The U.S. abortion rate is essentially flat over the last few years. This means that Planned Parenthood performs 27.4% (332,278 divided into 1,212,400) of all U.S. abortions.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be 3X MATCHED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift TRIPLED.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
