(Newsbusters MRC<\/a>)\u00a0Liberal billionaire Michael Bloomberg\u2019s company dedicates an entire webpage talking about the company\u2019s commitment to \u201cadvancing women,\u201d<\/a> and apparently for his nonprofit Bloomberg Family Foundation, that means giving millions to the abortion industry.<\/p>\n

The billionaire\u2019s nonprofit organization Bloomberg Family Foundation has given at least $13,962,000 to Planned Parenthood Federation of America within just four years (2014-2017), according to Foundation Directory Online Data.<\/p>\n

What makes the contributions so concerning is that Planned Parenthood and its affiliates performed 327,653<\/a> abortions in the 2013-2014 annual report, 323,999<\/a> abortions in the 2014-2015 annual report, 321,384<\/a> abortions in the 2015-2016 annual report, and 332,757<\/a> abortions in the 2016-2017 annual report. During this time, Planned Parenthood also received hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n

Yet this kind of generous giving to one of the premier abortion providers in the U.S. is typical for Bloomberg. The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> published an October\u00a024, 2018, piece\u00a0in what appears to be an attempt to paint the billionaire as a \u201ccentrist,\u201d but acknowledged that \u201cHe [Bloomberg] sends tens of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood to protect abortion access.\u201d<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Former NYC Mayor Bloomberg allegedly told employee who became pregnant to \u2018kill it\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

LifeSiteNews<\/a> reported on November 27 that Bloomberg \u201cis one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians in American history. When he first ran for mayor of New York in 2001, he pledged to force everyone training to become an obstetrician or a gynecologist in a city hospital to learn how to perform an abortion.\u201d And with millions in contributions to Planned Parenthood, it looks like he has been putting his money where his mouth is.<\/p>\n

A November\u00a014 New York Times<\/em><\/a> piece noted Bloomberg\u2019s stance on abortion:<\/p>\n

His [Bloomberg\u2019s] team also noted Mr. Bloomberg\u2019s efforts as mayor of New York to promote abortion rights policies, like requiring city hospitals to instruct resident doctors on abortion care.<\/em><\/p>\n

He also reportedly told<\/a> one of his pregnant female employees to \u201ckill it,\u201d after she had informed him of her pregnancy. Is that perhaps why he has been willing to throw massive amounts of cash behind Planned Parenthood?<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood awarded him [Bloomberg] its Global Citizen Award in 2014 for his pro-abortion record,\u201d LifeSiteNews<\/a> stated on November 25, \u201cincluding investments to decriminalize abortion abroad and enacting a \u2018gag order\u2019 against pro-life pregnancy centers in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, a press release<\/a> revealed that the billionaire committed $50 million to \u201cFamily Planning 2020 (FP2020), a global collaboration of governments, non-profit organizations, donors and researchers, to ensure that women in the world\u2019s poorest countries have access to family planning information, contraceptives, and services by 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

That \u201ccollaboration\u201d also included partnering with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the Planned Parenthood mega-funder Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation<\/a>, according to Influence Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Family Planning 2020<\/a> is a global initiative that works \u201cto enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n
