Taxpayer Funding of Abortion
The disastrous 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, thrust abortion-on-demand upon the nation, resulting in the deaths of millions of preborn babies every year. But that isn't enough for pro-abortionists. They also force taxpayers to pay for it.
Whether it is spending taxpayer money to fund abortion through private insurance mandates, Medicaid, health plans for federal employees, military personnel, women in abroad, there seems to be no end to the abortion industry's thirst for tax dollars.
Abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood continue to receive hundreds of millions of tax dollars every year un- der Title X, which subsidizes their overhead for promoting abortion, as they divert more and more resources towards abortion.
In 2012, Planned Parenthood reported a total income of $1.14 billion. Taxpayers shelled out $542 million to pad the abortion provider's bottom line through federal and state grants and contracts (or 45% of its entire income).
All the while, Planned Parenthood reduced non-abortion related programs like breast cancer screening and infertility treatment, and demanded that all its affiliate centers offer surgical abortion.
If we want to reduce the number of deaths induced by Planned Parenthood and other abortionists, we need to end their life line: taxpayer funding. (Pro-Life Articles)
