Planned Parenthood makes staff cuts

Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff.

Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for the nonprofit. Executives at Planned Parenthood confirmed the layoffs, but declined to give more details.

“As with many other nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood has had to make staff reductions at our headquarters due to the challenging economic times facing our country,” said Maryana Iskander, chief operating officer at the agency. “While taking this action is never easy, we want to ensure the millions of women and men who rely on Planned Parenthood as a health care provider that the reductions will not impact our ability to deliver care to those in need.”

Part of Planned Parenthood’s funding declines stem from the closing of the Florida-based Picower Foundation, which shut down in December because its assets were managed by Bernard Madoff. The $1 billion foundation was one of the few major funders of reproductive rights issues.

I wonder what career options are open to an unemployed abortionist.

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Bernie Madoff, saving the unborn through other means.

PRICELESS

[w1andsodidwe]

Well as the population dwindles due to their policies, less workers will be needed.

Better headline:

“Planned Parenthood Aborts Staff”

That is f''''''' hilarious!

[proudpapa]

LOL.

[Cicero]

I’m surprised they aren’t waiting for Obama to fund them. I thought he said that was his first priority. And I doubt whether Nancy and Harry would stand in the way.

[dangus]

I hear the Obama administration is hiring.

[Gene Eric]

now they’re cutting the staff ping

[utahagen]

I’d bet Planned Parenthood isn’t letting go any of their abortionists. The abortion doctors are what in the business world are known as “producers”, meaning they generate revenue. These doctors murder babies for a living, which is (sadly) a profitable business.

I received a bootleg copy of Planned Parenthood's first press release announcing these staff cuts. Here is part of the text:

"Planned Parenthood announces that it is exercising it freedom of choice, and that 20% of the staff are unwanted, and we will, therefore, exercise our right to choose to terminate them. They will not be fired or laid off. Instead, they will be the byproducts of our right to choose. Planned Parenthood believes very strongly in the right to choose, and it especially believes in its own right to choose to terminate employment. Contrary to how some anti-choice zealots will attempt to portray our actions, we are NOT firing anyone. We are simply exercising OUR right to choose!"

Planned Parenthood decided not to issue that press release.

[Gondring]

My thought, verbatim.

Well as the population dwindles due to their policies, less workers will be needed.

And fewer ones, too.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Madoff’s crimes have led to a number of lefty foundations and think tanks go belly up. Poetic justice.

[Secret Agent Man]

Thank you Lord. I only wish it had wiped them out fully.

[DallasDeb]

So, Planned Parenthood placed its investment capital with Madoff who basically obsconded with the funds over a period of years. Couldn’t have happend to a better organization. Wonder how much money they had laying around to invest.

[Secret Agent Man]

There’s always law or journalism.

[Between the Lines]

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Thieves funding murderers.

maybe that was his plan all along.

[Dengar01]

How rich Jews who's parents probably survived the holocaust where babies were thrown into ovens can support an organization that slaughters millions of babies a year is unbelievable.

Michael Savage has it right, "liberalism is a mental disorder"

[Rennes Templar]

All the more reason Madoff should be in jail.

[firebrand]

Too bad for Planned Parenthood that law enforcement caught Bernie getting ready to send them jewelry. Little gold scalpels for their charm bracelets.

[MNReaganite]

Did they abort themselves?

[informavoracious]

Non-profit, cough-cough

[Frantzie]

LOL! Awesome. I always thought abortion was a HUGE money making racket and semi-public jobs program for real vermin.

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm! Isn’t there something suggestive about this title?

Planned Parenthood makes staff cuts

Did they suck their brains out and toss them in the trash or did they give them a severance?

[pillut48]

Well, well, well, the silver lining in the Madoff Ponzi scandal!! Woot!! I hope many, MANY more PP’s are laid off and ‘clinics’ (read: charnel houses) are CLOSEDCLOSEDCLOSED permanently!!

[Uncle Miltie]

Planned Parenthood.....Staff Cuts.....

Gee, I hope everyone survived that.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Hi! I’m Bernie Madoff and I’m here to help.

[Moose4]

Well, as much of a scumbag as Bernie Madoff is, maybe he should get a LITTLE leniency for helping cripple Planned Murderhood...

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I see plenty of replies stating that Madoff sucking money from these leftist organizations is a good thing. It isn’t. They’ll just put the squeeze on unsuspecting foundations and the taxpayers for more to cover the shortfall. We’re going to pay in the end.

[patton]

None in my office.

[WaterBoard]

This Bernie Madoff is turning out to be my hero.

Bankrupting corrupt greedy investors, socialist writers, liberal groups, racists groups, Planned Parenthood, liberal Hollywood types producing anti-Patriotic bilge, etc.

[huldah1776]

If I had invested with madoff, and received a payment, I would be sickened by the fact that my money may have come from the sacrifice of the unborn.

[DaveLoneRanger]

It rains on the righteous and the unrighteous alike; Focus on the Family ain’t doing so well either.

[John123]

because its assets were managed by Bernard Madoff.

Is the Planned Parenthood a private agency or public? If public, why do they have $1 Billion dollars?

If private, why do they have $1 Billion dollars?

[Maelstorm]

Some good news. I’ve been hearing a lot of crying for money coming out of liberal organizations like NOW and the ACLU.

[randog]

"...due to the challenging economic times facing our country..."

"Challenging economic times"--it's the new "9-11".

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The more I hear about Bernie Madoff’s “victims”, the more of a Bernie Madoff fan I become.

[unkus]

As long as they stay away from Nursing. That’s another story. Euthenasia, etc.

Reading is fundamental. In the article, it clearly states that one of Planned Parenthood Federation of America's largest funders was a foundation that had invested its endowment with Madoff (The "federation of america" are the pro-abort lobbyists, as opposed to your local abortionist). No evidence that they had anything directly to do with him.

[mmichaels1970]

Take heart. At least you have your health.

[ensignbay]

With Obama’s radical pro-abortion plans, Planned Parenthood will soon get a boon to their industry. Very sad.

And people say there's no good news.
