Congress Moves To Increase Planned Parenthood Funding

From the FRC: Ever since last November's elections, which resulted in a pro-abortion leadership in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, national abortion groups have boldly pushed an agenda of death - forcing taxpayers to pay for it! In 2005 Planned Parenthood got $272 million in our taxes, twice the money it made from its 255,000 abortions that year. Since 1987 Planned Parenthood has taken in $3.2 billion in taxpayer funds for its deadly agenda.

Now these groups want even more taxpayer funding for their death march. Just last Friday, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) sent a letter to her Senate colleagues asking for a boost of $100 million, specifically for Planned Parenthood clinics!

Based on these numbers, it appears that taxpayers are keeping Planned Parenthood afloat. At the state level, attempts to defund Planned Parenthood in the PA House had the closest vote yet in 2006, failing by less than 10 votes.
