(April 16, 2023 – Fredericksburg, Virginia) Planned Parenthood just published its annual report, prompting a critical response from American Life League’s Planned Parenthood watchdog division, STOPP. The national pro-life organization released the following statement on April 16, 2024:
In its 2022-2023 annual report, Planned Parenthood asserts that it goes “above and beyond.” Yet a close reading of the annual report reveals that Planned Parenthood appears to go above and beyond the law.
As STOPP has warned previously, Planned Parenthood brags about pursuing abortion near or across state lines. Planned Parenthood asserts that its lawyers are attempting to change laws in its favor through litigation and that the organization uses its nearly $3 billion in assets for influencing political activity.
This report should be the centerpiece of criminal investigations into misconduct by Planned Parenthood and its board. You cannot mix, mingle, and misuse nonprofit money for improper purposes, and Planned Parenthood continues to do so to the tune of nearly $1 billion in donations and another $700 million in taxpayer money.
Abortions are up, with 392,715 babies killed in the last year. Meanwhile, the average American’s annual income is down. We can barely afford necessities, and what is our government’s answer? Funnel $700 million to the elite baby killers. STOPP’s latest CEO report showed that nearly $20 million of this income is dedicated solely to lining the pockets of its own affiliate CEOs.
The message to the American people is clear: The answer to a bad economy isn’t swift action from our leaders, it’s murdering future taxpayers and cashing checks for blood money.
American Life League’s STOPP is the only national and international organization solely dedicated to the intention of having Planned Parenthood to close their doors.
