THE WEDNESDAY STOPP REPORT

Planned Parenthood releases latest annual report

During the last week the Planned Parenthood Federation of America released its 2005–2006 annual report.

The annual report presents the “service data” (abortions, birth control sales, etc) for the calendar year 2005 and the “financial data” for the fiscal year July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Planned Parenthood had released the service data a few weeks ago and we reported on it in the May 2 issue of the WSR.

In this week’s Wednesday STOPP Report we will bring you a full analysis of the financial data and summarize the service data.

Overall Planned Parenthood financial data

Planned Parenthood’s income can be roughly divided into three major categories: clinic income (fees charged customers at the clinics); taxpayer money (grants and contracts from federal, state and local government); and donations (gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals).

For 2005-2006, Planned Parenthood reported the following income amounts:

Planned Parenthood / 2005-2006
Clinic income	$345.1 million
Taxpayer dollars	305.3 million
Donations	212.2 million
Other	40.2 million
Total income	902.8 million
Total expenses	847.0 million
Profit	$55.8 million

This compares to the following numbers reported for 2004-2005:

Planned Parenthood / 2004-2005
Clinic income	$346.8 million
Taxpayer dollars	272.7 million
Donations	215.8 million
Other	46.7 million
Total income	882.0 million
Total expenses	819.0 million
Profit	$63.0 million

Clearly it was a good overall year for Planned Parenthood. Total income went up 2.4 percent, passing $900 million for the first time.

The organization continued to make a hefty profit of $55 million, bringing its total profits since 1987 to $656.8 million.

But further analysis reveals some potential trouble spots for Planned Parenthood.

Clinic income declines for first time—ever!

As can be seen from the data above, the fees Planned Parenthood collects directly from customers at its clinics are the largest single source of Planned Parenthood’s revenue. They accounted for 38.2 percent of its total income in this latest report and 39.3 percent of the total last year. In fact, except for one year when Planned Parenthood got a $75 million gift from the estate of one of its donors, clinic income has accounted for over one-third of PP’s total income every year since 1987.

This year, clinic income actually went down from last year. As the numbers above show, it declined $1.7 million. Although this is not a very large decline, it is the first year-to-year decline for Planned Parenthood in over 50 years.

Now, remember that this data is one year old. It is for the fiscal year at Planned Parenthood that ended on June 30, 2006. This data will give you a good understanding of what has been happening at Planned Parenthood this last year.

Remember all the free giveaways of emergency contraception? Well, it was obviously Planned Parenthood’s attempt to lure more customers to its clinics to drive up its clinic income. Clearly PP wants to increase its clinic revenue and increase its customer base. It’s pulling out all the stops.

This data should encourage all who fight Planned Parenthood in your community every day. Planned Parenthood is hurting. It is closing down clinics faster than it can open new ones and its clinic income is down. Read the numbers and take heart.

God has provided us with this glimpse of the effect of our work and now is the time to rededicate ourselves to a tireless fight against PP. Planned Parenthood can be defeated. It is not invincible. If we are faithful to God’s call, He will triumph.

Donations also down

The numbers in this year’s annual report also show that the donations to Planned Parenthood were down over the year. This is not as dramatic as the clinic numbers as donations rise and fall from year to year.

You can be sure that Planned Parenthood is going out to the corporations and foundations trying to get every penny it can. The fact that the numbers are down is a real tribute to the efforts of Life Decisions International (www.fightpp.org) and its corporate boycott list.

We must keep the pressure on these corporations and American Life League wholeheartedly endorses the work of Life Decisions International. We encourage everyone to subscribe to the boycott list and use it to make purchasing decisions.

Taxpayer dollars up

Planned Parenthood is not wanted by the majority of the American public. Its declining clinic numbers show that. Its declining clinic income shows that. Its declining donations show that. Everyone is getting the message: stay away from Planned Parenthood.

Everyone, that is, except our elected officials.

Planned Parenthood’s annual report shows a staggering $34.6 million increase in taxpayer money going to the organization. Government officials have now given over $3.5 billion of our money to Planned Parenthood just since 1987.

We all have been working hard over the last few years to cut off the flow of taxpayer money. What this report shows is that we must push even harder. Planned Parenthood is working throughout the country to increase its taxpayer funds at every level. It feels it is entitled to our tax money. This latest annual report shows you why. Without the increase in taxpayer funds, Planned Parenthood would have had an overall decline in income this year.

So, in an effort to rededicate and direct our strength, we need everyone in the country who is upset with Planned Parenthood to sign the official stop PP tax funding petition at www.StopPlannedParenthoodTaxFunding.com. Although there are several petitions on the internet, this is the one that is monitored by the national office of American Life League and the one we can use to help local people in their efforts against Planned Parenthood. Please ask every one of your friends to sign this petition. They can sign even if they have signed one of the other petitions; and don’t worry about signing it twice, the software will catch duplicate signatures.

The flow of 300 million taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood has to be stopped. Please take action today. Since our elected officials won’t do their job, it’s up to us.

Abortions, not adoptions

We provided you with an analysis of Planned Parenthood service numbers in the May 2 Wednesday STOPP Report. You can see this and all back issues at http://www.all.org/stopp/report.htm.

When Planned Parenthood released the data earlier, it reported a record number of abortions at its facilities: 264,943. That’s 5,095 every week. But it did not release any data for its adoption referrals. Last year is did just 1,414 adoption referrals—that’s 180 abortions for every one adoption. We were waiting for the new annual report to get this year’s number.

Well, Planned Parenthood did not include any figures on adoption referrals in its new report. So much for Planned Parenthood pushing all options for mothers. We can only assume that the number was so low that Planned Parenthood didn’t want to embarrass itself by revealing it.

Planned Parenthood is about killing babies, not about adoption.
