(CNSNews.com) – Planned Parenthood clinics did 327,653 abortions in its fiscal year 2014 (which ran from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014), according to Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s newly released annual report.

That works out to an average of 37 abortions per hour or nearly 1 every 90 seconds.

Planned Parenthood also received $528.4 million from government grants and reimbursements, which equaled 41 percent of its revenue.

Planned Parenthood We Aborted 327 653 in FY2014 CNS News

Through its education, birth control and prenatal support, Planned Parenthood prevents more abortions than all the Conservative attempts to ban abortion, harass and shame pregnant women

bullshit......there is no evidence that PP has ever prevented an unwanted pregnancy.........

Planned Parenthood is the leading proponent of responsible parenting. You should only have the children you want and can afford to support

As such, Planned parenthood has been at the forefront of sex education and open access to birth control for all

Conservative policies of abstenance, bans and shaming of pregnant women have done little in comparison

to the contrary.....every single person who has practiced abstinence has avoided an unwanted pregnancy.......does PP have a better track record than 100%?........

To the contrary
EVERY unwanted pregnancy is a failure of abstenence

Just ask Bristol Palin.

The authoritarianism and extremism, along with contempt for the privacy rights of others is typical among religious nutters. They can't seem to keep their noses out of other peoples crotches.

really?....we aren't the ones who want to kill because they are inconvenienced.....

Rape and incest are also an inconvenience. (eye roll)

In a perfect world, no one would get pregnant until its planned. Do we live in a perfect world?

typical....you have no moral standing to support the 99% of unborn child killings that don't involve rape or incest, so you only talk about the 1%.....fine, I waive any objection to abortions in the case of rape or incest.......now how are you going to defend your position?.......

I'm going to defend my position by saying the Supreme Court made the right decision, and women should not have to give birth against their will.

Yep. And the majority of Americans understand there are many conflicting interests and that Roe v. Wade is a workable compromise.

Conservative policies of abstenance, bans and shaming of pregnant women have done little in comparison

Since when is abortion, birth control?

Since Republican's decided to push abstinence over education?

Since when does education reject abstinence?

Since studies show it doesn't work.

Mr. CHRIS TRENHOLM (Researcher, Mathematica): We don't find any impacts of the program on sexual abstinence, so there's no difference between the youth in the program group and the youth in the control group and the proportion of who have abstained from sex.

ABRAMSON: The study looked at four programs that served 2000 rural and urban kids. Half got abstinence counseling, half did not. Kids in both groups were just as likely to have sex at the tender age of 14 years and nine months. Parents, you can now remove your fingernails from the steering wheel.

Mr. WILLIAM SMITH (Vice President for Public Policy, Sexuality Information and Education Council): We've spent $1.5 billion on abstinence until marriage programs over 25 years, and we still don't have a single shred of evidence that show that they work.

Nonsense. Abstinence works every time.

I hate it when I have to point out the obvious but if the woman is pregnant she didn't practice abstinence........failure is not success.....losing a baseball game is not winning.....

Try telling that to horny teenagers! It's better to arm them with education.....AND CONDOMS!

She became pregnant because abstinence failed. Every woman knows that sex leads to pregnancy. Screaming that women should be abstinent is obviously not working. Hasn't worked in the historyof mankind

Married women have abortions too. Believe it or not, they are not abstinent

Uhmmm abstinence can't fail. Having sex is not the same as abstinence. The couple decided to have sex, deciding to have sex is not the same as deciding to be abstinent.

Yes, people may and do have sex. Child sex offenders also can and do have sex. Does that mean we should stop screaming that Child sex offenders should be punished? Why should we punish or scream about Child sex offenders when that is "obviously not working? "Hasn't worked in the history of mankind."

Here, let me offer a band-aid for those scraped knuckles you got by attempting to walk upright.

I haven't had a really good laugh lately. Thank you!

Abortion is also a "choice." And also a choice you don't get to make for others.

No the choice involves choosing from two or more actions. For example, choosing between abstinence and having sex, that is a choice.

To date, abstinence has been scientifically proven as a successful choice to prevention of pregnancy for females. I don't know why you think choosing abstinence is gonna get you pregnant.

I did not say that I wanted to make any choices for anyone. You are making that up.
