Planned Parenthood recently came out with a new television ad-campaign focused on promoting the role it plays in women’s health-care. The video, which will run throughout the Washington, D.C. area during the month of June, outlines the non-abortion services provided by Planned Parenthood, culminating in the claim that more than 90% of what the non-profit organization provides is preventative and/or primary care services.  

The TV spot features a computer image of a woman named Jane. Jane goes to Planned Parenthood “for essential health care—cancer screenings, immunizations and contraception. And Jane's not alone.” According to the advertisement, Planned Parenthood provides almost one million cervical cancer tests and 850,000 breast exams yearly. Coming on the heels of Obama’s push for a nationalized health care system, the ad finishes with: “Planned Parenthood's quality, affordable health care: Good for Jane, great for America.”

According to Planned Parenthood’s 2007-2008 annual report, they aborted 305,310 babies in 2007 alone. Of the 1,787 abortion providers in the United States, Planned Parenthood is the leading provider. Aborted children—what is brushed off in their commercial as just 10% of their services—is actually a huge problem; part of the approximately 1.2 MILLION children aborted in the U.S. every year. If that doesn’t seem bad enough, here is another statistic: For every 1 adoption referral Planned Parenthood makes, they also abort 62 babies. There isn’t much parenthood to all this planning…

It’s an indisputable fact (just check their website) that Planned Parenthood receives one-third of its income—that’s over $336,000,000 (336.7 MILLION) tax-payer dollars per year—in the form of government grants. One can’t help but wonder at the timing of the release of this glowing Planned Parenthood advertisement right around the same moment as the Obama administration is getting ready to make its push for national health care reform. As if the $1.5 billion dollar bailout, and the abortion industry “wish-list” for President Obama weren’t enough, it seems that the symbiotic relationship between the abortion industry and the Obama administration is more obvious than ever.
