If you think Planned Parenthood is just a great low-income source of "essential health care" for women, the numbers may shock you. In fact, their clinics don’t even perform mammograms; they send women somewhere else for those. Increasingly, Planned Parenthood is becoming the one-stop-shop for abortions. Yet since 2009, Planned Parenthood’s contraceptive services have dropped by 12%, and its cancer screening and prevention services have dropped by 29%. This dip into “preventative services” was not for lack of funding, as the organization has reported. According to the latest numbers, the organization received a record $542 million in taxpayer funds in 2012. That was 45.2% of its annual revenue. But one aspect of Planned Parenthood's business is thriving. In fiscal 2011, they performed a record 333,964 abortions. In the three years from 2009 to 2011, they performed a total of 995,687 abortions. Also note that for every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed a whopping 145 abortions.
