Planned Parenthood's Billion

Although the number of abortions in this country is on the decline, Planned Parenthood made over a billion dollars for the first time in its history during its 2006-2007 fiscal year. And the number of abortions Planned Parenthood affiliates have performed has gone up. PPFA now does about one quarter of all abortions nationwide.

And your tax dollars are supporting them.

Tony Perkins, who heads up the Family Research Council, told LifeNews.com:

"A majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion -- however, still Planned Parenthood receives more than $300 million in taxpayer funding each year for 'family planning' projects that help bolster their abortion trade."

This week, I was a little lax on posting because I've been trying to read Angela Franks' book, "Margaret Sanger's Eugenic Legacy: The Control of Female Fertility." Angela's book is heavy on research but, even so, the book is still very, very readable.

It's truly scary knowing that this billion dollar organization known by the innocuous sounding "Planned" Parenthood performs thousands and thousands of abortions every year and pushes abortion left and right-- that's bad enough. But when you read Angela's book, you discover just how deep the organization's eugenic roots go. Sanger was a big proponent of "negative" eugenics, the goal of which is curbing the birthrate among those Sanger called "the unfit"-- and by fair means or not so fair means. Sanger included the poor, the "feeble-minded," those with disabilities and those who would be considered of average to below-average intelligence among those she considered "unfit."

Planned Parenthood was founded by a woman determined to "weed out" the "unfit." Many of PPFA clinics are located in areas of cities where the poor and minorities are concentrated.

Is this Sanger's Legacy?

Why, oh why, are our state and federal governments pouring money into PPFA coffers?

**National Right to Life makes Franks' book available for a donation of fifteen dollars which is a steal considering that Amazon list's the paperback book for almost $36.
