Abortion and Money

Planned Parenthood received $254.4 million in taxpayer money, but it does not want to disclose medical details of its abortions performed by potential witnesses at affiliated facilities.

Planned Parenthood received another $228.1 million from corporations, foundations and other donors. The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, endowed by the late co-founder of Hewlett-Packard Co. and former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense, David Packard, is a private organization that provides many millions in grants annually to programs in the areas of conservation and science, population, children, families and communities, including some groups that advocate abortion rights.

Above all are the profits from abortions themselves. The former Republican counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Manuel Miranda, recently observed that clinics derive an average of $1,000 for each abortion performed.

In its 2002-2003 annual report, Planned Parenthood reported a hefty operating gain of $36.6 million. At a time when companies are struggling to remain profitable, Planned Parenthood reported a 200 percent increase over the previous year's $12.2 million gain.
