A new\u00a0Live Action video release unmasks\u00a0the oft-repeated claim\u00a0that taxpayer dollars sent to Planned Parenthood do not fund abortions. The abortion corporation, which masquerades<\/a>\u00a0as a “health care” provider, receives half a billion dollars in government\u00a0money annually, which they claim is\u00a0merely reimbursement for services rendered under Medicaid. The largest provider of abortions, garnering 35\u00a0percent of the nation’s market share, implies that these funds do not pay for abortions.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0the hundreds of millions in government dollars Planned Parenthood receives are fungible<\/a>, acting to free up other dollars which would normally be used for salaries, facility rent, and general overhead. Planned Parenthood\u00a0nets<\/a>\u00a0millions of dollars in excess revenue almost every year.<\/p>\n

Watch the Live Action video\u00a0below to get a better understanding of fungibility and how our tax dollars do, in fact, pay for abortions:<\/p>\n
