$815 Million since 1977
WASHINGTON, April 15, 2002 (LSN.ca) – “Abortion and contraception mean big business for Planned Parenthood,” says Ed Szymkowiak, national director of STOPP International. The division of American Life League which is dedicated to fighting Planned Parenthood’s anti-life agenda, has produced a report detailing Planned Parenthoods financial activities.
“Planned Parenthood’s entire business relies upon sex education, which corrupts young minds and increases youth promiscuity,” says Szymkowiak. “This in turn establishes a customer base of contraception users, and eventually abortion clients.”
This month’s issue of the Ryan Report, STOPP International’s newsletter, contains detailed information about Planned Parenthood’s business, including individual affiliate income and service reports, along with financial data for the last five reported years. Highlights of this special edition include the following:
