The abortion giant has also lobbied for <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/inhuman\/\">infanticide<\/a> and has repeatedly lied to media, patients, and taxpayers <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/planned-parenthood-false-mammogram-claims\/\">regarding the scope of services provided<\/a> at Planned Parenthood abortion facilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"large button\" href=\"http:\/\/plannedparenthoodexposed.com\/\">SIGN THE PETITION<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Live Action\u2019s latest investigation, <a href=\"http:\/\/plannedparenthoodexposed.com\/sexed\/\">SexEd<\/a>, details the abortion giant\u2019s dangerous sexology for kids.

Roughly 45 percent of its $1.2-billion annual budget comes from government funding. Planned Parenthood received over half of a billion dollars in forced taxpayer funding last year, along with an additional $75 million allocated under the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has Planned Parenthood filled its coffers with billions of dollars, but the corporation\u2019s close ties with members of the White House and state houses have enforced the corporation as an organization with tremendous political clout.<\/p>\n<p>According to Planned Parenthood\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/files\/6714\/1996\/2641\/2013-2014_Annual_Report_FINAL_WEB_VERSION.pdf\">Annual Report for 2013-2014<\/a>, the organization committed 327,653 abortions that year. The average low-estimate price for an abortion at Planned Parenthood is $451 per procedure, which accounts for roughly $150 million in annual revenue for the corporation.<\/p>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"389.9866666666662\">Live Action is calling for transparency, accountability, and an end to the offenses that occur every day in Planned Parenthood facilities across the country. The pro-life group is urging local, state, and<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"385.58666666666613\">federal authorities to take necessary measures to ensure that the health and safety of women and children is regarded.
