Planned Parenthood closes clinic after clinic
American Life League ^ | 13 Dec 06 | American Life League

Posted on 12/14/2006 5:36:53 PM PST by Quiet Man Jr.

"Planned Parenthood is shrinking," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. "Though it still operates the nation's largest chain of abortion facilities, Americans are rejecting Planned Parenthood and its agenda as more and more of its clinics are closing across the United States." American Life League's exclusive new study shows that the number of Planned Parenthood "health" clinics has plummeted to its lowest total in almost 20 years.

"In our study," explained Sedlak, who leads American Life League's effort to expose the true nature of Planned Parenthood, "we found the organization has 817 'health' clinics. The number of 'health' clinics is the lowest it has been since 1987." The rise and fall of Planned Parenthood clinic numbers can be seen in the following table:

1987 816 "health" clinics 1990 879 "health" clinics 1995 938 "health" clinics 2000 875 "health" clinics 2005 825 "health" clinics 2006 817 "health" clinics The number of Planned Parenthood "health" clinics has dropped from 938 in 1995 to 817 today – a reduction of 121 clinics in 11 years, an average of 11 "health" clinics per year. (Planned Parenthood also operates 42 "express" clinics that have no exam rooms and are basically retail store fronts. These facilities are not included in the count of "health" clinics.)

"This latest study shows that people are rejecting Planned Parenthood all over the country," said Sedlak. "Americans, whom we have supplied with the truth about this organization, simply do not want Planned Parenthood in their communities. It is time elected officials got the message and stopped giving hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to an organization that is clearly losing public support all across the nation."

If you could ever dry up their corporate funding, they'd close more than half.

I continue to boycott companies that give to Premeditated Butcherhood.

Best news I've heard in a long time. Prayers that this country will put a stop to this unbelievable cruelty.

I think the main thing that has kept this sinister outfit going is their deceptively wholesome and innocuous sounding name.

Didn't know about the corporate funding. Just bought my first pair of Levis ever...and I'm over 45.

Levi Strauss funds every manner of lefty degenerate endeavor they can find. K-Mart, though, sells some jeans called "Rustler" that I like just as well. I probably buy 5 or 6 pair a year, so over 15 years, that might be 90 pair of Levis they didn't sell me. And they're anti-gun and since I always have one of those on my hip...well, I guess they just don't want my business.

Self-ABORTING. Those female children aborted in 1987 would be 18-19 years old by now and NONE of them need an abortion because they will never see sunshine or get pregnant.

That's one pair of Levi's going back to Wal-mart. Must have been in my subconscious for some reason since this is the first and only pair I've ever bought.

I, too, quit buying Levi brand many years ago due to their left-wing activism. I'm a Wrangler man.

When you give to United Way, be sure you specify where your money is to go. Otherwise some of it will end up at PP.

**Working on it**

That means going and standing across the street from the clinics and praying and praying and praying.

Prayer will shut them down!
