Planned Parenthood abortionist: The more abortions we did, the more money we made

Editor’s note: This is part of an ongoing series investigating the lies, cover-ups, and abuses inside Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion chain.

Dr. Robert Siudmack worked as an abortionist for Planned Parenthood. After he quit, he took part in a video series called “10 Truths About Abortion.” There, he explains the abortion chain’s focus on money:

Abby Johnson, a former director at Planned Parenthood, says abortion quotas were required at the clinics, and hundreds of dollars needed to be made off of each self-pay abortion. A video from Johnson’s organization, And Then There Were None, explains the details.

An email from Johnson continued, “When I voiced my concerns to my supervisor, she laughed and said, ‘But Abby, abortion is how we make our money.'”

An abortionist who very recently left his job after he held a living, aborted baby in his hands asked Johnson to share his story. He reveals, “People have asked me why I became a doctor who performed abortions. If I’m honest, the original draw was the money.”

In an op-ed for The Washington Times, Sue Thayer, a former abortion clinic manager at Planned Parenthood tackled the big business aspect of the abortion chain. She specifically discussed “telemed abortions” where a woman does not see a doctor in person prior to having a medication abortion. (See what a medication abortion is here.)

The focus on profit seems to have carried down to Planned Parenthood’s treatment of its patients – at least according to numerous patients who are speaking out. A collection of Yelp reviews of Planned Parenthoods around the nation describes the treatment of patients and the ability of the abortion chain to milk extra cash out of women – even on “services” unrelated to abortion:

Concerning abortion and profit, Live Action’s Sarah Terzo explains: “Of course, abortionists have to cope with seeing dismembered pieces of babies every day and deal with opposition from pro-life activists. But if they can put up with these things, abortions can be very profitable for them.” She quotes Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former (non-Planned Parenthood) abortionist who is featured in the Abortion Procedures video series:

Through medical animation, Dr. Levatino explains D&E abortions in the video below. D&E abortions are the most commonly committed in the second trimester in the U.S.
