<\/div>

Last Friday, the state of Missouri made the decision to suspend Medicaid payments<\/a> to the nation’s number one abortion profiteer, Planned Parenthood<\/a>, which commits approximately 900 abortions<\/a> per day nationwide — more than 320,000 abortions per year. While the abortion corporation and its friends in the media choose to emphasize Planned Parenthood’s legitimate health care services like cancer screenings, the truth is that these non-abortion services have been plummeting<\/a> at the organization for several years, along with its patient numbers. As previously reported by Live Action News’ Cassy Fiano:<\/p>\n

The organization performs less than 1% of the nation\u2019s breast exams, less than 3% of the nation\u2019s Pap tests, and less than 2% of all cancer screenings. Over the years, the health care services the organization provides have steadily declined, while abortions have risen. Breast exams have dropped by over 60%, cancer screenings by over 68%, and Pap tests by 77%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet at the same time, it holds the lion’s share of the abortion market in the nation, at around 35 percent.<\/p>\n
