Abortion, ObamaCare, and Planned Parenthood: Follow the money.
If nothing changes, ObamaCare, along with aggressive marketing of abortions, will divert billions of your tax dollars to Planned Parenthood (PP). To protect and grow this windfall, PP will aggressively market their “services” to our children under the guise of “wellness education.” They will hire an army of paid staff to lobby school boards, principals, and teachers for even greater access. Marketing sex to your children will be a financial dream come true for PP.
To follow the money, connect the dots:
Dot 1. PP did 305,310 abortions in 2007 (source), at an average cost of $450 (source). That amounted to $137 million in revenue for PP.
Dot 2. ObamaCare will drive private health insurance out of business so that Government becomes the only alternative. (Arguably, based on Pres. Obama’s own words, that’s by design.) Once Government becomes the sole provider, health care will become a “right” of every citizen. The courts will rule that denying coverage of abortion (a “legal medical procedure”) amounts to sex discrimination, regardless of any legislation or presidential order to the contrary.
Dot 3. Once the government is paying for them, abortions will no longer be subject to the limitations of the current “free enterprise” system, where people generally have to pay for their own. With government paying the bill, the costs will skyrocket. Today, the going price for a D&C, an invasive medical procedure similar in scope and character to abortion, is $5,472 (source). In the new environment, PP would no longer accept $450; they would demand and receive $5,472 for every abortion. This would immediately increase PP’s abortion revenue from $137 million to $1.7 billion (with a b).
Dot 4. But there’s more. According to Abby Johnson, formerly a PP abortion clinic director, all PP affiliates will be required to perform abortions by 2013. PP is pushing affiliates to aggressively sell abortions. If they are able to grab just half of the entire abortion business, say 650,000 abortions every year, that will mean a total abortion revenue of $3.6 billion (with a b).
Dot 5. Unlike contract and grant money PP gets from the government, this new money would be paid as “fee for service,” so there would be no strings attached. PP would still hire the same abortion hacks they use now and pay them the same money, so the new money would be all profit. There is so much government money to be had, PP will dispatch an army of paid professionals to lobby (and even buy?) your school boards, your principals, and your teachers for even greater access to your children. They’d be foolish not to. Marketing sex to your children will become a multi-billion dollar windfall for PP. This is an outrageous conflict of interest.
Oh, and by the way, get ready to pay for PP’s abortion marketing programs; they will be disguised as “wellness” programs and will be paid for by taxpayer-funded contracts and grants. Think about that as you watch PP latest outrage, “I didn’t spew.” (Warning: prepare to vomit.)
In summary, with all the new money from ObamaCare, there’s a big profit to be made by marketing (first) sex and (then) abortion to our children. Planned Parenthood wants to use our schools to position themselves as the sex experts and promote normal every kind of promiscuous and deviant behavior. When many of them get pregnant, as they certainly will, PP wants to be first in line for the lucrative business of “terminating” the “mistakes.” It’s an obvious conflict of interest. The stakes are high … on one side are PP and billions of our dollars; on the other side are us and our children.

True, we must stop this from becoming a reality. Forces of goodness, let us not slow down now.

I’m certainly not pro-life and see nothing as black-and-white but wanted to share this thought with someone, and this blog seemed appropriate.
My wife is 6 months pregnant and I had a day dream that someone broke into our house and pushed my wife down and killed the unborn baby, but not her. I thought I would press chargers for murder. But if this is murder, isn’t abortion murder? It’s not a fair comparison since it’s the mother’s choice in abortion, but not in this fantasy.
I’m speaking to the choir here, and one that I don’t sing in, but I wanted to share a moment when I saw the other side.

How about this: if you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one. If you don’t want your kids to get an abortion then teach them to be responsible. Abortions comprise less than 3% of the services offered at Planned Parenthood and federal dollars do not fund abortions, and probably never will. Contraception and sex education help reduce pregnacies which reduces the demand for abortions. The hypothetical scenario presented in this article will never happen, so why are you demonizing an organization that is trying to prevent unwanted pregnacies in the first place?

Jason – Truth is 100% objective. You can’t manufacture or politicize something to make truth. It is what it is. Murder is murder, whether the mother “chooses” it or not. Love your baby!!! True love is sacrificial love. BTW life begins at conception! (not implantation) —

Forgiveness is given to all who receive it by faith through God’s Son, Jesus the Saviour of the whole world – All have sinned and fallen short — We all stumble in many ways… Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ. We all need His abundant Mercy! And if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us — and 2 Chron 7:14 — Amen — America can and hopefully will be redeemed (abortion is a starting point)! ***Also, the birth control pill causes women to have a micro abortion, because life begins at conception, not at implantation.

We attended a Planned Parenthood fundraiser! says:[…] Note: if you think the claim that “PP markets sex” is an unfair statement of what they do, consider the fact that students were invited to visit websites that would then encourage teenagers to have sex if, among other things, they “trust each other,” “care about each other,” and “have fun together.” Link here.
