The Planned Parenthood Project

(watch this video en Espanol: youtu.be/rWlQOeI9vKY)

Our goal is simple: We want to educate this generation about Planned Parenthood’s real motives and turn them against the abortion Goliath and towards pro-life, pregnancy resource centers where they can go for honest, real help.

Why does our Planned Parenthood Project matter? Here are the facts:

  • We know this generation is opposed to abortion. Every poll confirms this fact.
  • Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion vendor but they NEVER advertise this fact because this generation rejects abortion. Instead they tell young people about their contraception sales and STD screenings to keep their positive       image going.
  • Yet, Planned Parenthood preys off young girls in crisis, locating right near our high schools and college campuses, telling them abortion is their only real option in their moment of desperation. According to our own research, 79% of Planned Parenthoods are located within 5 miles of a college campus.
  • While non-Planned Parenthood abortion facilities across the nation continue to close, Planned Parenthood props up their un-profitable abortion facilities, allowing them to operate while in the red, using our taxpayer money to keep them going.
  • Planned Parenthood is the Goliath of the abortion industry. Many experts believe that once Planned Parenthood dissolves, the unaffiliated abortion facilities across the nation will fold up shop at historic rates as Planned Parenthood won’t be there to protect them anymore.

spacer So, how do we speed up the end of Planned Parenthood? How do we get women facing crisis situations to those who can offer real love and support?  We tell young people the truth about Planned Parenthood.

And that’s exactly what the Planned Parenthood Project Tour does.

About the Planned Parenthood project

In Fall 2015, Students for Life of America headed out on over 16,000 miles to 80 schools, to expose the nation’s abortion Goliath, Planned Parenthood, with whom they target the most – young people. Here’s what the students learned:

Planned Parenthood’s PLAN for YOU

PLAN A: Provide poor quality, faulty birth control.  In its February 2005 issue of Consumer Reports, the non-profit Consumers Union ranked two of Planned Parenthood’s condom lines the lowest out of all the brands that they tested.

PLAN B: Encourage daily hormonal treatment.  PP encourages young women to begin a daily regimen of hormonal birth control, and they placate fears about side effects by saying that modern hormonal contraceptives are safer than earlier iterations because they contain smaller amounts of hormones, even though there are still dangerous side effects like death.  Should something go wrong though, they’ll then offer you those same hormones in massive doses (the “morning after pill” which can cause early abortions), claim it’s perfectly safe, and hope you won’t notice they’re contradicting themselves.

PLAN C: Offer deceptive counseling and biased information.  If things didn’t go so well with the condoms and birth control, and pregnancy does occur, then Planned Parenthood offers “options counseling” to help decide a course of action. However, dozens of former employees have blown the whistle on the unscrupulous nature of PP’s “options counseling,” acknowledging that it was commonly used to steer women towards abortion (which they profit from) instead of adoption or parenting (which they don’t get paid for). In 2013, PP performed 174 abortions for every 1 adoption referral and has now mandated that every affiliate performs abortions.

PLAN $$$: Money, money, money. According to Guttmacher Institute (Planned Parenthood’s research arm), the median cost of an abortion is $451. This means PP made over $147 million in revenue from the 327,653 abortions they performed in 2013. For years, Planned Parenthood officials, staff, and surrogates have repeatedly promoted false information about the services they offer (falsely claiming they provide mammograms, etc) and the uniqueness of their work to convince politicians to give them $528.4 million in taxpayer funding just in the 2013-2014 fiscal year alone. However, everything PP sells and provides (except abortion) can be found within the nationwide network of 8,000 taxpayer-funded Community Health Centers at universally lower prices.
