Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s (PPFA) 2018–2019 annual report released Jan. 6 showed the organization performed 345,672 abortion procedures in 2018, an increase of nearly 13,000 abortions from the previous year.
Lila Rose, president of the pro-life organization Live Action, responded to the recent data reports from Planned Parenthood in a tweet saying that the number of abortions creates the highest death toll since 1991.
Planned Parenthood is responsible for approximately 40% of reported abortions in the U.S., according to Live Action News.
Abortions made up 4% of the organization’s total medical services for the 2018–2019 fiscal year. Planned Parenthood received more than $616 million in government reimbursements in 2018. From 2008 to 2018, government funding to PPFA increased by 70%.
“We learned two tragic facts from Planned Parenthood’s newly released annual report,” said Live Action spokesperson Alison Centofante. “The number of children Planned Parenthood killed in the womb is at a record high and, shockingly, so is the amount of money it received from taxpayers.” (BP)
