Why Planned Parenthood must be REJECTED and DEFUNDED

With so many of Planned Parenthood’s legitimate health care services plummeting over the past decade while its abortions and taxpayer funding have increased, many are asking, “Why are taxpayers still funding this abortion corporation?”

Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report from 2022-23 reveals record-breaking abortions — 392,715 in a single year, while it received nearly $700 million taxpayer dollars. That equates to the deaths of 1,076 preborn babies every day, nearly 45 every hour, and one every 80 seconds in 2022-23 — from Planned Parenthood alone, which commits the lion’s share — 40% — of all abortions in the U.S. as a single entity.

The funding funneled to Planned Parenthood has grown by 29.4% over the past decade, while so many of its services have dropped, including total services (down 16%), client numbers (down by 30%), number of facilities (down by 25%), prenatal care (down 68%), contraceptive services (down 40%), cancer screenings (down 59%), non-mammogram related breast care (down 62%), Pap tests (down 60%), and adoption referrals (down 22%). And yet, it has nearly doubled its abortion numbers.

Taxpayers appear to be paying more and more to Planned Parenthood, while the corporation offers fewer and fewer actual health care services. In a Live Action man-on-the-street interview, people were asked their thoughts on this:

 

But taxpayer funding is far from the only reason that Planned Parenthood should be both defunded and rejected. It has covered up the sexual abuse of minors, failed to report suspected child sexual abuse, been accused of both past and present-day racism by its own employees, and more.

A informative list of articles is below, describing in detail why Planned Parenthood should no longer receive taxpayer funding, and should be rejected as any sort of legitimate health care provider:
