Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, the number of abortions in the United States is nearing 50 million. If the federal government begins funding abortions, that number will soar.

Planned Parenthood and Government Funding

People who are not deceptive in their dealings with others often find it difficult to recognize deception in others. There are innumerable documented statements by Margaret Sanger, the recognized founder of Planned Parenthood (according to plannedparenthood.org), that show her true intent in being a proponent of birth control (pleasure and eugenics):

"On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective." ("The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda" by Margaret Sanger)

"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race." ("Woman, Morality, and Birth Control" by Margaret Sanger)

"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." ("Women and the New Race" by Margaret Sanger)

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferable with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." (from a letter by Margaret Sanger to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 19, 1939)

"...unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children."
(Margaret Sanger writing about her objective, "Birth Control Review")

"The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the social order."
("The Woman Rebel, edited by Margaret Sanger)

One look at plannedparenthood.org shows that sexual pleasure without guilt or pregnancy is promoted. The site gives information (often complete with pictures) of sexual anatomy; sexual pleasure; masturbation; sexual diseases; abortion; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender services; and on and on. There is also a section specifically for teens with similar information. As to eugenics, according to statistics presented by Susan W. Enouen, P.E., Planned Parenthood today targets African Americans for abortion.

In speaking at the Family Research Council Values Voter Summit in 2008, Representative Michele Bachman (Minnesota) spoke of the ridiculousness of Planned Parenthood, an organization with a budget surplus of $115 million, being given tax breaks and government grants. "They are a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, which means they pay no taxes. Planned Parenthood pays no taxes and they receive over $300 million per year in grants from the federal government. So if you combine that failure to pay taxes, which would equal 35%, plus over $300 million in grants--their income should be about $300 million a year."

How did the federal government end up funding Planned Parenthood? According to Jim Sedlak, for 47 years after its founding, Planned Parenthood survived on donations and clinic fees. Then in 1964, Planned Parenthood received money during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson under the claim of providing reproductive "healthcare" to poor women. In 1970, under Title X of the Health and Human Services Act, federal funding for Planned Parenthood exploded.

If you don't like the idea of your tax money supporting Planned Parenthood, what can you do? The first action is prayer. Second, get in touch with your Senators and Representative and make your wishes known. Third, question candidates about their stand on this issue. Fourth, don't give up!

May God have mercy on our nation.
