Planned Parenthood
To the Editor:
Since 1973 to the year 2018 more than 61.8 million abortions have been committed in the United States. The question is where are all these abortions committed? Since the first state legalized abortion in 1967, 8,965,000 abortions have been committed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America is an organization that has many goals. On their website they say they deliver reproductive health care, and they say they are an informed educator on reproductive health and sex education. So far, this organization seems like a pretty good organization, right? Not at all. According to the website Family Life International, Planned Parenthood also commits 40 percent of murders or also called abortions in the United States. In 2019 there were 587 PPFA clinics and 375 of those clinics perform surgical and medical abortions. From 2018-2019, 345,672 abortions were committed by Planned Parenthood and 6,301 abortions are perpetrated by them every single week. Planned Parenthood does offer adoption referrals however, 96.1 percent of pregnant women who are their clients have an abortion.
You have probably heard about the Hyde Amendment which bans federal funding going to abortions, you might be thinking that Planned Parenthood gets no funding, but it does. It is called taxpayer funding. According to the website, Life News, Planned Parenthood gets an estimated 533 million dollars per year. That is more than half a billion dollars a year. From 2016 to 2018 they received 1.6 billion dollars. Think about that. The money you pay in tax dollars are going to an organization that kills more than 6,000 innocent babies lives every single week. Babies who will never get to grow up and live a life. Yep, whether you like it or not, basically your money is paying for the murder of babies.
Planned Parenthood is a horror for these innocent babies who will never get a chance to speak. To Planned Parenthood these babies are worthless and do not matter, but they do. Even though these babies are in the womb, they still matter. Even though they do not have a voice they still matter. More than 6,000 babies a week will never grow up. They will never have friends. They will never get to talk. They will never get to learn. They will never get to do anything because Planned Parenthood murdered them. These babies do not have a choice, they cannot speak up for themselves, so they are slaughtered brutally. Planned Parenthood is an atrocious, repulsive, appalling organization. Planned Parenthood must be stopped. We need to stand up for these innocent precious babies and give them a voice.
