Planned Parenthood and The Mexico Policy

Planned Parenthood and The Mexico Policy:
The funding of abortions with taxpayers’ money while millions are struggling financially!

Despite the financial struggles of millions of American’s due to Covid-19, government spending of
OUR TAX dollars for abortions in the US and around the world will hit all-time highs in 2021:

Latest financial reporting for Planned Parenthood
  • $617,000,000 in financial aid received from US government
  • Breast exams and pap smear screenings: -9.6% performed vs. previous reporting period
  • Cancer screenings: -8.5% performed vs. previous reporting period
  • Informational handouts for clients: -4% performed vs. previous reporting period
  • 345,772 abortions performed vs. previous reporting period: A RECORD YEAR for abortions
Margaret Sanger, the founder of PPH, had this to say in her 1921 magazine “Birth Control Review”
“The most urgent problem today, is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physical defective of our society. The undeniably feeble-minded should indeed; not only be discouraged, but prevented from propagating their kind”
Other comments used by Sanger in her commentaries and speeches refer to immigrants, African-Americans, and the poor as “human weeds”, reckless breeders, spawning human beings who never should have been born”
Let me ask you….Why is it that 80% of all PPH facilities are located in inner city depressed areas, with high concentrations of minority populations residing? 30% of the population of Georgia are African-American, yet 60% of the abortions are performed in the African-American population? There are more “abortions vs live births” in the African-American population in New York City!

The Mexico Policy
  • Written in 1984 by President Ronald Regan, the Mexico Policy would not allow US taxpayer funding to countries overseas that would promote abortions as a means of population control.
  • President Biden rescinded the Mexico policy with an Executive Order on January 28th 2021, allowing over $600,000,000 in government tax payer funding to be sent abroad to foreign countries for abortions as a means of population control

So here we are, with millions of Americans struggling to put food on their tables, pay their rent and electricity,
yet $1.2 billion of our tax dollars will be used in 2021 to promote the killing of an innocent human being in the womb.

As I’ve mentioned during our Life presentations throughout West Georgia:

“The most dangerous place in America, is now found in the womb of the mother”

May God please have mercy on our country for the reckless killing of over 60M innocent human beings through the act of abortion since 1973!
