101 years of lies. Seven million children dead. Millions of women scarred. Some of the richest CEOs in the country.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood<\/a>‘s president and CEO Cecile Richards is wealthy. In three years her salary managed to double to an astounding $957,952<\/a> a year. She doesn’t receive a salary that high by giving away free pregnancy tests or ultrasounds. She got rich by convincing Americans that they need abortion<\/a>. As the organization that commits one-third of the abortions in the United States celebrates its 101st birthday this year, it does so on the deaths of\u00a0over seven million children<\/a> who never got to celebrate a single one. Meanwhile, the abortion quotas it sets have made Richards and her top staff members very, very rich. Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs make an average of $237,999<\/a> per year – one even brings in over $500,000. This puts the average Planned Parenthood CEO in the top five percent of United States workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes you wonder if all of these people donating to Planned Parenthood know how much of their gifts wind up in personal bank accounts,\u201d said Jim Sedlak<\/a>, executive director of American Life League. \u201cIf any other nonprofit were dishing out this kind of money to its top executives, the mainstream media would be all over it. However, in Planned Parenthood\u2019s case, there is nothing but silence.\u201d<\/p>\n

When abortion first became legal back in 1973 it was based on the notion that it would be rare. However, as in any other business, money isn’t made when products and services are rarely used. Planned Parenthood knew it then, and they know it now. So they made sure abortion became anything but rare.<\/p>\n

Marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood started off as a birth control business. At the time, they were advertising birth control with their “every child a wanted child” slogan. Once abortion became legal, this was easily carried over to their abortion marketing. If they were going to lose birth control sales, they would need\u00a0to\u00a0gain abortion sales. The best way to do this was to play on women’s fears.<\/p>\n

Anyone facing an unplanned pregnancy faces similar basic fears. From financial concerns to career complications to thoughts about sleepless nights and what other people are going to say about it. From there the fears can run even deeper – fears of their parents abandoning them, fears of their boyfriend beating them, and fears of their rapist continuing to assault them. Planned Parenthood simply told women that those fears were founded and that the only way to address them was to abort their children. They could have offered women support by helping them secure safe housing, or jobs, or childcare so they could continue their education. They could have referred women to organizations that would assist with adoption. But there’s no money to be made by giving away help and services. There is, however, money to be made from abortion, which can cost anywhere from $200 to $2,000.<\/p>\n

Another way they realized they could make money is by reaching young people by marketing themselves as a cool and understanding organization that won’t tell mom and dad what the kids are up to. Their marketing campaign<\/a> in Northern New England illustrates this tactic well. Once these kids, who are going to make major errors in using birth control, trust Planned Parenthood, they will return to them for more services, including abortion. Planned Parenthood consistently fights against parental notification laws and prides itself on targeting younger and younger children through sex education programs in schools. It’s how they create repeat business.<\/p>\n
