Planned Parenthood has often claimed to be concerned with the health of women, first and foremost. In light of this, it might surprise you to learn that Planned Parenthood has an annual health center income of nearly $375 million [1]. So, approximately 36.7% ($137 million) of this income is from abortion services [2].
Abortions are costly procedures. They range in price from $300 to $900 [3].
Clearly, the abortion business is a booming industry. Although Planned Parenthood may try to downplay the number of abortions it provides to pregnant women, abortions do account for a significant percentage of their profits.
Planned Parenthood claims to offer comprehensive healthcare and help women make
responsible choices, but it seems that Planned Parenthood is most focused on profits.
There have been countless instances in which they have shown indifference to the wellness of women—especially in light of the long-term effects of abortion. They refuse to support legislation that would increase the safety of abortion facilities. Also, it has been discovered that many Planned Parenthood workers do not even report clear instances of abuse.
Planned Parenthood is an organization that cannot be trusted.
