Planned Parenthood: We Got $528.4 Million in Taxpayer Funds in One Year
(CNSNews.com) – Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, received $528.4 million in taxpayer funding, according to its 2013-2014 annual report, [1] which runs from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
The report shows that Planned Parenthood received $528.4 million in “government health services grants and reimbursements” during a one-year period, the latest figures available.
That means it received an average of $1,447,671 in taxpayer funds per day and an average of $60,320 every hour.
Several members of Congress [2], as well as some GOP presidential candidates, are calling for Planned Parenthood to be defunded after a video surfaced showing Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services, discussing the sale of baby parts with two actors posing as a fetal tissue procurement company.
The video was secretly made by the Center for Medical Progress, a non-profit “group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.”
Three Republican-led congressional committees plan to hold hearings investigating the matter, and House Speaker John Boehner has also called [3] on President Barack Obama to condemn and end the practice of selling baby body parts.
