Congrats on your banner year in abortions, America
The mainstream media and pundit class helped spread the message that Planned Parenthood is all about contraception and mammograms, a remarkable feat for a group that performs, well, no mammograms. We can assume the media will not publicize that contraceptive services dropped by 12 percent since 2009.
But we can rest assured that if anyone else tries to extricate itself from the abortion business, like Susan G. Komen did when it tried quietly to stop giving the group a few hundred thousand dollars a year, the media will go to bat for the abortion business. They almost assuredly will not mention that Planned Parenthood has reported $87.4 million in excess revenue and more than $1.2 billion in net assets.

You know, if Dear Liar used an executive order to outlaw abortions, he’d save more than one life.

Right off the bat: Thread winner!

Obama hates the children.

It’s good to know that waiving fetuses over your head on national television is still legal.

Soulless ghouls heading for this thread.
Brace for impact.

WHITE HOUSE THREATENS ‘EXECUTIVE ORDERS’ ON GUNS but not a peep on saving innocent defenseless babies.

333,964 abortions in 12 months, wow, they are really killing off an entire generation of people.

Planned Parenthood is making record profits and raking in record federal subsidies killing black babies. Just like Margaret Sanger wanted.

Hey don’t worry, Obama’s new gun regulations via executive order will stop all the shootings in Chicago.

Here’s a liberal conundrum: If a child is accidentally birthed during the abortion procedure can the doctor shoot it or should he just leave it to die in the garbage?

They only care about dead children when they can USE THEM to destroy Liberty.
What a nice group of folks.

What’s most shocking about your statement is that it is 100% correct and not the least bit embellished for dramatic effect. Yet – the typical libtard will come by here and say you’re a right wing kook for saying it and only trying to stir up $#!t.
Observing reality is inflamatory these days. Lovely.

Planned Parenthood, the world’s largest abortion provider, gets nearly half of its funding (more than half a billion dollars a year) from U.S. taxpayers.
Yet every federal politician continues to insist that our tax dollars are not funding abortion.
It’s insane.

UUUUARRRRRGH! lol!
naaa, i leave it alone…

Either way, the doctor won’t be prosecuted.

As long as he doesn’t use a high capacity magazine clip from a semi automatic assault weapon.

Since all family planning services and contraceptives are now “free” as part of the health care act, why does Planned Parenthood still need to be getting money from the government anyway?

Of course, the 333,964 abortions performed by taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood in 2011 is only a fraction of the number of children murdered each year by the democrats’ abortion industry. Although P.P. is the largest single abortion performer, an estimated 1.2 million babies are slaughtered each and every year through abortion, in the U.S. alone.

Looks like my grandmother’s old crucifix came in handy.

I hear Himmler, Eichmann and Mengele are jealous.
