Planned Parenthood: We Got $528.4 Million in Taxpayer Funds in One Year
(CNSNews.com) – Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, received $528.4 million in taxpayer funding, according to its 2013-2014 annual report, which runs from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
The report shows that Planned Parenthood received $528.4 million in “government health services grants and reimbursements” during a one-year period, the latest figures available.
That means it received an average of $1,447,671 in taxpayer funds per day and an average of $60,320 every hour.
Several members of Congress, as well as some GOP presidential candidates, are calling for Planned Parenthood to be defunded after a video surfaced showing Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services, discussing the sale of baby parts with two actors posing as a fetal tissue procurement company.
The video was secretly made by the Center for Medical Progress, a non-profit “group of citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances.”
Three Republican-led congressional committees plan to hold hearings investigating the matter, and House Speaker John Boehner has also called on President Barack Obama to condemn and end the practice of selling baby body parts.

I'd like to ask everyone to keep this civil.
We don't want this thread to get suspended again, now do we?
-OP
From what I saw, making personal comments about each other rather than sticking to the topic of the 2nd video, Planned Parenthood, abortion, etc. etc., is what caused the problems.
If you believe I am making personal statements or being uncivil then report me as you threatened.
I am trying to understand the totally confusing positions that many of you take in regard to the topic.
That's why I ask questions. Which you apparently took offense to rather than answering.
So, since you brought up "Black Lives Matter" in this context, I'm asking do they matter after babies are born?
Are you in favor of social programs that help the needy? If not, why not?

"They have no voice"????
What about all of you in this thread? You can't focus on the topic long enough because you're all railing about baby murder (unless it's approved baby murder then that's okay)
No "protectors" ???
BS.
"These politically motivated videos raises questions, but nothing I've seen indicates that Planned Parenthood violated federal law."

There's a national movement that is proving that it will commit fraud in order to make political points. Cons of all kinds are flocking to the banner.

BS.
The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.
Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.
If you are well clothed, well fed, today it is these women who have helped you to do so. And are you doing anything for these women? Ministers of the Gospel, what are you doing for these women and unborn babies? You reformers, conservatives, call yourselves what you wish, what are you doing for this condition of society which demands of its unborn such an awful price of birth? Do you think your duty is done if you have clothed or fed one or fifty of these victims for a day, a week, a year, perhaps? Oh, mothers, sisters, women of this land, awake! How can you slumber when these conditions exist?
The day is passed when we can selfishly protect our own. In order to protect our own, in matters of disease, in conditions where milk, water, food or drugs are unsafe for our own loved ones, we cannot hesitate to fight for all, for we realize we can only save our own by so doing.
Again I say: Women, awake, awake to this system and help these downtrodden women back to their homes, back to their little ones, back to that which belongs to every mother -- the care and love of her offspring.
