PLANNED PARENTHOOD ANNUAL REPORT INDICATES RECORD ABORTION NUMBERS
By Anna DeMeuse, Pro-Life Wisconsin Communications Director
Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. published its’ 2019-2020 Annual Report last week which indicated both a rise in abortions and taxpayer funding.
ABORTION
The report shows a nearly 3% increase in abortion procedures over the last year, which resulted in an additional 9,199 babies killed at the hands of the abortion giant for a total of 354,871 in the reporting year. This abortion rate translates to one child dying at Planned Parenthood every 89 seconds. Pro-Life Wisconsin works diligently to save lives from abortion every day in Wisconsin and establish personhood for the preborn child.

CONTRACEPTION
Contraception distribution also increased – 9,497 more individuals received some form of contraception since the prior year. Pro-Life Wisconsin opposes all forms of artifical birth control because it perpetuates the contraceptive mentality which views pregnancy as a disease state against which women must be protected at all cost. In turn, abortion simply becomes backup contraception, leading to the continued increase in innocent lives lost. Learn more here.
PRENATAL SERVICES & ADOPTION REFERRALS
Planned Parenthood’s report showed not only an increase in abortion and contraception but a drastic decrease in prenatal services and adoption referrals. Prenatal services experienced a 12% decrease which translated to Planned Parenthood committing 41 abortions for every one prenatal service. Adoption referrals also saw an alarming 37% decrease, meaning Planned Parenthood commits 133 abortions for every one adoption referral. Pro-Life Wisconsin works hand in hand with Wisconsin’s pregnancy resource centers which offer life-affirming options to women in need, including prenatal care, adoption referrals, and parenting classes.

TAXPAYER FUNDING
Taxpayer funding to Planned Parenthood increased from $616.8 million in 2018-2019 to $618.1 million in 2019-2020. This increase averages to nearly $1.7 million taxpayer dollars funding Planned Parenthood each day.
With this staggering report from America’s #1 abortion provider, the priority of Planned Parenthood is abundantly clear – continue to expand abortion and the culture of death. We must continue to combat these efforts and build up the culture of life by changing hearts and minds. Pro-Life Wisconsin is dedicated to this fight and will never grow weary of exposing and opposing the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood. With your prayers, presence, and financial help we will overcome the culture of death and end abortion.
