More than 300,000 abortions performed at Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood’s 2007-2008 Annual Report again shows how America’s leading abortion provider continues to increase its share of the abortion market. The number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood facilities rose more than 5% to 305,310 abortions in 2007 from the previous record high of 289,750 abortions in 2006. Approximately, 1 in 4 abortions performed in the United States are now performed at Planned Parenthood facilities. The number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood continue to increase despite the national decrease in the number of abortions in recent years.

While the number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood grew, the number of prenatal clients decreased to 10,914. Planned Parenthood now commits approximately 28 abortions for every pregnant prenatal client it sees and commits 62 abortions for every adoption referral. Abortion is clearly the number #1 choice for Planned Parenthood.

Increasing their annual total of abortions also didn’t hurt Planned Parenthood’s checkbook. Their annual revenues were again above the $1 billion dollar mark and their profits (revenue over expenses) totaled a staggering $85 million. Planned Parenthood’s net assets totaled more than $1 billion dollars.
