WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT? When you hear the words “Planned Parenthood,” do you think, “What a great non-profit organization or I don’t really know what they do?” Across the nation people are told to believe Planned Parenthood (PP) provides much needed healthcare to the poorest of all women; unfortunately, buried within its rhetoric and public relations campaigns lies an unspeakable truth. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the U.S. PP reports it performs more than 345,672 abortions a year1—that’s 28,806 abortions a month or, to put it more bluntly, nearly 947 abortions a day. In the time it takes you to read this introduction (just about two minutes), this corporation snuffs out the lives of two children in the womb.2 According to Planned Parenthood’s 2018-2019 annual report, $616.8 million of its $1.64 billion in total income came from the United States government. In other words, one-third of PP’s budget came from tax dollars. It reported $245 million in revenue over expenses—others call that profit.3

Planned Parenthood has been accused of selling fetal body parts, allowing young women to die as a result of unsafe procedures and unsanitary facilities, lying about cancer screenings, intentional racism and more. Are you sure PP is the organization you thought it was? Inside The Truth About Planned Parenthood you will learn about PP’s origins, see evidence of its real purpose and who it targets. You can also read about the personal trauma it inflicts on real women. After you read these truth-filled essays, you’ll come to understand why Planned Parenthood’s corporate slogan is, “Care. No matter what.” Unfortunately, PP’s profit model seems driven by the “No matter what” statement more than care.
