Abortion Biz Killed 328,348 Babies In 2015

Abortion Biz Killed 328,348 Babies In 2015

May 31, 2017

The abortion chain Planned Parenthood finally released its annual report this week, about four months later than it usually does.


The report shows increases in abortion numbers and taxpayer funding in 2015, alongside decreases in contraception, breast exams and overall patient numbers.


Planned Parenthood continued to maintain its status as the largest abortion provider in the United States. The abortion group performed 328, 348 abortions on unborn babies, 4, 349 more than the previous year, according to the report.


At the same time, it saw 2.4 million patients, about 100, 000 fewer than the previous year and about 500, 000 fewer than five years ago. Contraception services, which the abortion chain touts as its primary service, also dropped from 2.94 million to 2.8 million during the past two years.


Meanwhile, the abortion chain received more taxpayer funding. The report shows Planned Parenthood receiving $554.6 million, up from $553.7 million the previous year. This increase occurred while pro-abortion President Barack Obama was in power.


This pattern is consistent with its annual reports from the past several years. Abortions and taxpayer funding keep going up, while patient numbers and other services go down.


Townhall’s Lauretta Brown pointed out one of the ironies in the annual report:


In the “Message from Our Leadership” section of the report, the organization boasts that “thanks to affordable access to effective contraception — we’re at the lowest abortion rate since Roe v. Wade was decided.”


An interesting claim given that the number of abortions the organization provides is up and the number of contraceptive services is down from last year’s report.


Abortions are down in the United States as a whole. In 2014, abortion numbers dropped below 1 million for the first time in four decades, according to the Guttmacher Institute. This means Planned Parenthood is performing about one third of all abortions in the U.S.
