New numbers show Planned Parenthood puts abortion over health care

Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life has released a fact sheet revealing that Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota (PPMNS) is expanding its abortion business to the detriment of its legitimate health services.

PPMNS’s latest annual report shows that its total number of patients dropped 4%, total patient services dropped 10%, family planning visits dropped 8%, and contraceptives distributed dropped 13%. However, during the same time abortions rose 10%.

The changes also proved profitable, as PPMNS also saw its total assets rise 8% to $64.5 million, and investment income quadrupled to $1.7 million. Patient service fees also rose 6% to $26.7 million.

“Fewer and fewer women are resorting to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services. But greater numbers of women are
being pressured to abort their unborn babies at Planned Parenthood,” MCCL Executive Director Scott Fischbach said. “Planned Parenthood is focused on dominating the profitable abortion industry, not on providing health care for women.”
