Part of Planned Parenthood’s strategy is a rule that every affiliate must perform abortions on-site—yes it’s mandatory. As a result, five Planned Parenthood affiliates in New York state are disaffiliating. They remain totally committed to the idea of abortion, but they don’t want to perform them. This comes at a cost. They’ll no longer enjoy the volume discounts and special pricing of Planned Parenthood. It also shows how militantly pro-abortion the national organization is—kicking out affiliates who refuse to run killing centers. It’s estimated over half of Planned Parenthood’s non-governmental income comes from abortion. Killing babies is their cash cow. If Planned Parenthood was really “pro-choice” why are they forcing affiliates to do them? It’s not about choice. It’s all about the money. And it’s blood money.
