Ex-clinic Director: Each Abortion
Made Planned Parenthood $313.29

A former Planned Parenthood abortion clinic director in Texas Planned Parenthood says her clinic projected a $313.29 profit
per abortion and that she was told her office needed to perform 1,135
procedures per year to reach its budget goals.
In a new
video posted courtesy of the pro-life website abortionworker.com,
Abby Johnson, who ran a Planned
Parenthood clinic in Bryan,
Texas, before leaving in 2009,
provided a copy of the Facility Budget for the clinic for fiscal year 2010. The
video circles the projected figure 1,135, which is listed alongside the item
"Income — Self-Pay (Surgical)."
The narrator
then declares, "You know what that is? It's their abortion quota. The
amount of abortions Abby's former clinic had to sell in order to meet their
budget.
"The
number next to it? $313.29 is the net amount of money the clinic needed to make
off of each abortion performed."
LifeNews.com
quotes Johnson as saying, "This was bothersome to me as I truly believed
that our goal was to reduce the number of abortions … after all, that's what we
always said to the media.
"When I
voiced my concerns to my supervisor, she laughed and said, 'But Abby, abortion
is how we make our money.'"
The
revelations from the Texas clinic's budget plan come in the wake of Planned
Parenthood's acknowledgment earlier this month that it gave an award to a Colorado clinic "for exceeding abortion visits" in
the first half of its 2013 fiscal year compared to the first half of the preceding
year.
"We
recently had a clinic worker leave the affiliate, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains," Johnson wrote on the
abortionworker.com website on July 2.
"This
affiliate runs the 2nd largest Planned Parenthood facility in the U.S.
At this clinic in Denver,
they give out various awards to their satellite clinics and post these awards
on a bulletin board for everyone to see."
She then
described the Certificate for Exceeding Abortion Visits award presented to the
clinic by Planned Parenthood.
LifeNews.com
posted a photo of the award as well.
In a post on
the Planned
Parenthood Action website, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains President and CEO
Vicki Cowart responded to the controversy surrounding the award, declaring,
"[f]irst, and plainly, Planned Parenthood does not have 'quotas' for any
of our services."
She then
proudly admits that the award was issued.
"As a
nonprofit healthcare provider, our mission is to provide high-quality,
affordable healthcare and education to as many people as possible," she
writes.
"We aim
to expand access to all of our services, and we commend our dedicated, passionate
staff when they succeed in reaching more people who need care."
She closed
her statement by saying, "yes, we absolutely do celebrate our progress in
ensuring that more people have access to the full range of reproductive
healthcare, including abortion. And we always will."
"When
our former worker saw this award on public display, it really started to change
her thinking about Planned Parenthood's motivation," Johnson wrote on the
abortionworker.com website.
