Planned Parenthood recently released their 2012 annual report, which showed that they are continuing to maintain their position as America’s largest abortion chain. At 327,166 abortions, they performed just over 25% of the abortions in the country. Their cumulative total since 1970 is 6,210,670.

For taxpayers who don’t want to fund abortions, this should be especially troubling, considering that Planned Parenthood is raking in a whopping $540.6 million in taxpayer funding, or $1.5 million per day. This accounts for 45% of their revenue. Compare that to their other sources of revenue — private contributions, 26%; non-government revenue, 25%; and “other”, 4% — and it is overwhelmingly clear why the abortion industry fights to keep organizations like Planned Parenthood on the government dole. Without taxpayers to leech off of, Planned Parenthood alone would lose half a billion

And what exactly are taxpayers paying for? As mentioned,
