Planned Parenthood is shrinking, but abortions still increase.
Planned Parenthood takes more and more tax dollars to do fewer services for fewer people at fewer locations . . . except when it comes to abortion. Over the last 10 years, taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood skyrocketed from $336 million in 2006 to $543 million in 2016. During that same period, Planned Parenthood’s annual clientele dropped by 23%. Planned Parenthood also closed 260 facilities, a third of their locations. Birth Control dropped 32% Breast Exams dropped 62% Pap Tests dropped 74% Cancer Screenings dropped 67% But in one significant area, abortion, Planned Parenthood’s activities increased—by 11%. Planned Parenthood’s marketshare of abortions in the United States also increased from 21% in 2004 to 35% in 2014. This increase in annual abortions and abortion marketshare has taken place while the national abortion rate continues to drop. The data shows Planned Parenthood does less than 2% of US breast exams, about 1% of Pap tests, and less than 2% of women’s cancer screenings. www.liveaction.org www.liveaction.org/…/planned-parenth…
