Does Planned Parenthood do abortions?

One of the most common questions I get asked when I say I oppose Planned Parenthood is, does Planned Parenthood do abortions?

I am stunned given both Planned Parenthood’s marketing as well as the pro-life exposing of their abortions.

So, I have decided to put some evidence in a blog.

First, the answer is 100% yes, Planned Parenthood does abortions. In fact, they are the largest abortion chain in the United States.

On Planned Parenthood’s website (2014) they post that abortion is available from many Planned Parenthood health centers:

This brochure was created for Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania by Designs by Tricia and under services: Medical and surgical abortion is listed:

Planned Parenthood even advertises abortion services in the yellow pages:

Lets not forget YouTube:

How about the Abortion Pill – that would be a yes for Planned Parenthood – available at most of their centers:

And on top of actually doing abortions, Planned Parenthood lobbies, promotes and even celebrates legal abortion – even late term abortion :

Here Planned Parenthood touts health benefits of abortion:

How many abortions does Planned Parenthood perform?

2012 thru 2013 – 327,166 not including emergency contraception which I consider abortive:

2011 thru 2012 333,964 not including emergency contraception which I consider abortive as well:

In fact:

Planned Parenthood committed 31.6% of abortions nationwide in 2011
Planned Parenthood committed 23.3% of abortions nationwide in 2006
Planned Parenthood committed 16.5% of abortions nationwide in 2001
Planned Parenthood committed 11.3% of abortions nationwide in 1996
Planned Parenthood committed 8.5% of abortions nationwide in 1991
Planned Parenthood committed 6.2% of abortions nationwide in 1986

And there is always those pesky abortion ads:

And parents…not to worry because Planned Parenthood can do abortions on your children without your consent:

This is by no means a comprehensive proof of Planned Parenthood’s performance of abortions – it is a mere snapshot. This blog is full of articles of women dying after their Planned Parenthood abortions, Planned Parenthood abortion docs or employees arrested or otherwise disciplined, Planned Parenthood not reporting possible abuse or rape after aborting a minor girl and so on.

Hopefully this will help those who need proof that Planned Parenthood does in fact perform abortions.
