Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s latest annual report for 2011-2012 says that its affiliated clinics performed 333,964 abortions in fiscal 2011.
That works out to an average of one abortion every 94 seconds. …
The 2011-2012 report states that Planned Parenthood received $542.4 million in “government health services grants and reimbursements,” which it states includes “payments from Medicaid managed care plans.” …

I am all for newspapers to publish the names of women who have had abortions..but you know that will never happen..I have always wondered why women who love abortion SO much have themselves never been aborted..I think many abortion lovers wish they were aborted
Marge Sanger is smiling in hell with a millstone around her neck. B-B-but I though Planned Parenthood was doing such good with mammograms and STD’s and neurosurgery :p
From the Liberty Fund Library is "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), Chapter 1, excerpted final paragraphs from Edward Stanley Robertson's essay:
"I have suggested that the scheme of Socialism is wholly incomplete unless it includes a power of restraining the increase of population, which power is so unwelcome to Englishmen that the very mention of it seems to require an apology. I have showed that in France, where restraints on multiplication have been adopted into the popular code of morals, there is discontent on the one hand at the slow rate of increase, while on the other, there is still a 'proletariat,' and Socialism is still a power in politics.
I.44
"I have put the question, how Socialism would treat the residuum of the working class and of all classes—the class, not specially vicious, nor even necessarily idle, but below the average in power of will and in steadiness of purpose. I have intimated that such persons, if they belong to the upper or middle classes, are kept straight by the fear of falling out of class, and in the working class by positive fear of want. But since Socialism purposes to eliminate the fear of want, and since under Socialism the hierarchy of classes will either not exist at all or be wholly transformed, there remains for such persons no motive at all except physical coercion. Are we to imprison or flog all the 'ne'er-do-wells'?
I.45
"I began this paper by pointing out that there are inequalities and anomalies in the material world, some of which, like the obliquity of the ecliptic and the consequent inequality of the day's length, cannot be redressed at all. Others, like the caprices of sunshine and rainfall in different climates, can be mitigated, but must on the whole be endured. I am very far from asserting that the inequalities and anomalies of human society are strictly parallel with those of material nature. I fully admit that we are under an obligation to control nature so far as we can. But I think I have shown that the Socialist scheme cannot be relied upon to control nature, because it refuses to obey her. Socialism attempts to vanquish nature by a front attack. Individualism, on the contrary, is the recognition, in social politics, that nature has a beneficent as well as a malignant side. The struggle for life provides for the various wants of the human race, in somewhat the same way as the climatic struggle of the elements provides for vegetable and animal life—imperfectly, that is, and in a manner strongly marked by inequalities and anomalies. By taking advantage of prevalent tendencies, it is possible to mitigate these anomalies and inequalities, but all experience shows that it is impossible to do away with them. All history, moreover, is the record of the triumph of Individualism over something which was virtually Socialism or Collectivism, though not called by that name. In early days, and even at this day under archaic civilisations, the note of social life is the absence of freedom. But under every progressive civilisation, freedom has made decisive strides—broadened down, as the poet says, from precedent to precedent. And it has been rightly and naturally so.

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove."EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON
“The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him, whether he is part of the surplus population; or if not, how he knows he is not.” [1925]

The poor dears , How can they possibly get by with just $1,500 in subsidies for every dead baby ,,, the local “non-franchise” clinics do it for the same cost without the subsidy.
Where is all that money going to?
Dale Ahlquist's series on EWTN is a real treat.
THANK you! Because my head is exploding to the point that I can’t even formulate a coherent reply.
This is it!
So don’t attempt to have a civil conversation with liberals. They are hopelessly evil. The less you have to do with any of them, the better.
Assuming there are over 1 million abortions every year, and PP does 334,000 of them, where do the rest occur? Private clinics? Hospitals? Anybody know?
IMHO, pretty disgusting ! Roe v. Wade needs to go away !
We are now lead by a man who trashing the nation with so much debt that we will never recover.
Obama delights in every baby that is ripped apart. It is world view in action.
“where do the rest occur?”
PP is only one of many killing centers.
They are the largest and most profitable.
My favorite is Portland’s “Love Joy Surgi-Center” — a perfectly Orwellian name for a place where innocent babies are ripped to pieces daily.
No wonder our nation is going to hell, fast.
I just visited the Kaiser family web site. I know it’s left of center, but the stat’s. are interesting.

That’s a lot of people.
I can’t even wrap my head around it.
