Planned Parenthood has set a record for the number of abortions in its clinics, according to its newly released annual report.
“Americans are sick and tired of underwriting the nation’s largest abortion business,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List.
The country’s No. 1 abortion provider said its affiliates performed 333,964 abortions during 2010–11, the most recent year for which statistics are available. The previous yearly record for Planned Parenthood clinics was 332,278 in 2009.
Planned Parenthood also established a record for funds received from federal, state and local governments. It received $542.4 million in government grants and reimbursements during the latest fiscal year.
Those public funds were nearly half of Planned Parenthood’s $1.2 billion in total revenue for the year. The organization’s revenue outpaced expenses by $87.4 million.
“Planned Parenthood has spent much of the last few years demanding that taxpayers add millions more to their coffers, citing their nonprofit status and so-called focus on women’s health,” Dannenfelser said.
The organization’s affiliates made only 2,300 adoption referrals during the year, which means they performed about 145 abortions for every adoption referral.
