Planned Parenthood provides about one third of all abortions in the U.S.,(1) in spite of their claim that abortion is only 3% of its services. They been under investigation since 2012 by Congress for Medicaid fraud, disregarding FDA guidelines for use of the RU486 abortion pill, failure to report sexual child abuse and sex trafficking, failure to prevent coerced abortions, and providing women with misleading and inaccurate information.(2) And of course more recently we heard about how they have been profiting from the sale of fetal body parts.(3)

Although Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization, more than one employee has reported that selling abortions is the real heart of Planned Parenthood. Upper management puts pressure on center directors and employees to sell abortions. What they call “counseling” is nothing more than giving phone numbers for adoption or a few other helping agencies, without any knowledge of the adoption process or what kind of help is available to them. The training the ‘counselors’ receive is focused on things like always using terms like “fetus” or “contents of the uterus” rather than “baby”, and describing abortion in the gentlest terms possible.(4) We should not be surprised that people who are willing to kill babies within the womb might stoop to less than honest ways to sell their services.
