Every 94 Seconds

Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s annual report for 2011-2012 shows its affiliated clinics performed 333,964 abortions in fiscal 2011, up by 4,519 from 2010. The 2011 rate calculates to one abortion every 94 seconds. Furthermore, they report receiving over a half billion dollars in "government health services grants and reimbursements."

"We are so proud of the year’s many successes, and deeply grateful for all the partners, sponsors, volunteers, staff and friends who helped make them possible," states the report’s introductory letter, signed by PPFA president Cecile Richards and Cecelia Boone, chairwoman of the organization.  4,519 more abotions is certainly making progress.

During the first 26 years of legalized abortion in the country, there were 40,000,000 performed. That’s a little over 1.5 million per year. Want to talk about the value of human life in this country?

Not much.
