FRONT ROYAL, Va., Dec. 30, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- "For decades, Planned Parenthood has operated the most proficient killing machine in the United States," said Douglas R. Scott, Jr., president of the Planned Parenthood watchdog organization Life Decisions International (LDI). "And the machine continues to end the lives of preborn human beings while simultaneously wreaking havoc on the lives of all members of society."
In a new report released by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), the group confesses to having hired killers who snuffed out 323,999 preborn children last year, generating an estimated $190 million. Only 2,024 customers were referred to adoption agencies.
"Are we witnessing the beginning the end of Planned Parenthood?" Scott asked. "It's surely too early to make such a claim but every analytical measure indicated the time may be approaching far more rapidly than even the most optimistic pro-life activist would have expected."
The only good news for Planned Parenthood is that it took in a record-setting number of taxpayer dollars. Planned Parenthood received a staggering $553.7 million in the 2014-2015 fiscal year. This figure is more than $25 million above what the U.S. government gave to Planned Parenthood the previous fiscal year.
This "nonprofit" pays its president in excess of $600,000 per year. Yet even with this high salary PPFA cannot seem to spend all of the money. For fiscal years 2010-2015, PPFA reported "excess revenue over expenses" (some would call it "profit") of $155.5 million, $87.4 million, $58.2 million, $127.1 million and, in the most recent fiscal year, $58.8 million. The logical question is this: Does PPFA return unspent funds to taxpayers? After all, we are talking about some very serious figures here. The answer is obvious. No. To even suggest the idea is considered laughable. "As usual, taxpayers are getting ripped off. But few policymakers seem to care," Scott said. "And this will continue to be the case until taxpayers and all good, reasonable and honest people make them care."
Life Decisions International will be posting an analysis of PPFA's Annual Report for 2014-2015 on its website by the end of the day (December 30, 2015). Several charts comparing PPFA's current status to that of the past will be provided for easy review.
"Planned Parenthood's greatest ally has always been public ignorance of its agenda and activities," Scott said. "Pro-life activists at all levels are beginning to see the fruit of their hard labor. And they have many reasons for joy and optimism. In the process, Planned Parenthood and its legions have learned something important about pro-life people. We do not give up. We will never give up. Period."
