The United States Government Accountability Office has just released a report<\/a> revealing that, between the years 2013 and 2015, Planned Parenthood<\/a> took in $1.5 billion in taxpayer dollars, with most of the funds coming from the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Agency for International Development.<\/p>\n

Throughout those three years, the abortion corporation spent over $288 million in government funds, as well as $1.2 billion in Medicaid reimbursements. This is despite the fact that Planned Parenthood’s health care services have continued to decrease while its\u00a0abortions have increased<\/a> —\u00a0even though nationally, abortions have decreased. And while Planned Parenthood claims to be the nation’s foremost health care provider for women, this couldn’t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood claims to\u00a0provide prenatal care<\/a>, but this is mostly a lie. A\u00a0Live Action investigation found that in the vast majority of locations, the abortion profiteer\u00a0provides little to no prenatal services<\/a>. Once the deception was exposed, Planned Parenthood scrubbed prenatal care services<\/a> from most online listings. Planned Parenthood is also not interested in adoption<\/a>, either; in fact, for every adoption referral they make, 160 children are aborted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
