Episode # 4385 - Mary and Lauretta Discuss the New Planned Parenthood Report With Professor Michael New
Re-air from 4/22/24 Mary and Lauretta discuss the new Planned Parenthood annual report with Professor Michael New of Catholic University. Planned Parenthood performed a record 392,715 abortions in 2023, and increase of over 5 percent from 2022. There were declines in many health services. Planned Parenthood did 31% fewer preventive care visits, 13.5% fewer pap tests, 4.5% fewer adoption referrals, and 1.4% fewer cancer screenings. This is consistent with long-term trends. Since 2013, Planned Parenthood has performed 20% more abortions while providing 58.6% fewer cancer screenings and 67.6% fewer prenatal services down 67.6%. Despite this, Planned Parenthood continues to receive more and more taxpayer dollars. In 2023, they received 699.3 million dollars in government grants and reimbursements -- a 4.3% increase from 2022. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish
