Cecile Richards’ ‘facts’ about Planned Parenthood backfire on Twitter

Over the course of the past few days, Cecile Richards, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, has taken to Twitter to try to legitimize her company’s profit off of abortions and the sale of fetal tissue. Richards’ salary alone — which was $360,902 in 2006 and has risen to $957,952 — would seem to indicate abortion is an immensely profitable industry. That’s a salary increase of 256 percent!

When Planned Parenthood finally released its annual report strategically over the long Memorial Day weekend, (much later in the year than usual) the numbers confirmed that Planned Parenthood is all about meeting a bottom dollar, and that abortions are the organization’s main source of revenue. Abortion is so important to Planned Parenthood that when Cecile Richards was asked if Planned Parenthood would stop performing abortions in order to keep its half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding, she replied, “absolutely not.” So when Richards started an attempted boast of the goodness of Planned Parenthood on Twitter, people weren’t having it. Here is one of Richard’s tweets:

Pretty bold move to talk about what happens every day that Planned Parenthood’s doors stay open. Others thought so, too.

Here’s another.

Another is quick to point out the number of preborn children Planned Parenthood aborts every day.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report shows a steady drop in healthcare services offered to women, while simultaneously showing an increase in abortions. A recent video released by Live Action actually demonstrates that Planned Parenthood is so inadequate for women looking for real healthcare that the organization’s workers have instructed pregnant women seeking options other than abortion to instead turn to Google for answers:

Live Action News previously noted that Planned Parenthood’s latest report reveals that “contraception, prenatal care, breast exams, and pregnancy tests have decreased.”
