WASHINGTON, January 13, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Douglas R. Scott, president of Life Decisions International, has released of an analysis of Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s (PPFA) Annual Report (2001-2002). PPFA’s Annual Report shows a large increase in the number of surgical abortions committed by the organization. Moreover, the books also reveal a substantial profit earned by the supposedly non-profit organization.
“PPFA affiliates committed 213,026 surgical abortions between January 1 and December 31, 2001—an increase of 8.1 percent over the previous year. With one exception, Planned Parenthood has increased its share of the surgical abortion market every year. PPFA’s vastly more lucrative “emergency contraception” market, which includes an untold number of chemical abortions, rose a staggering 248.6 percent, from 131,638 in 2000 to 458,892 in 2001,” reports Scott.
Financial reports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002 show that the organization’s total revenue was $692.5 million (up nearly three percent from the 2000-2001 fiscal year). Its expenses were nearly $680.3 million (up 8.2 percent), leaving a $12.2 million profit for that one-year period alone. Despite the surplus cash, which is common for Planned Parenthood, Scott notes that PPFA continually claims to need more and more money. “Maybe Planned Parenthood would be willing to return the funds it gets from taxpayers?” Scott asked.
