   A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on    
   federal tax money funneled into Planned Parenthood and similar    
   organizations raises more questions than it answers about the nation's    
   largest abortion chain.   
      
   Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) audits show the    
   organization spent just $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from    
   federal government grants and programs, but the abortion behemoth's own    
   annual reports show that it took in $2.3 billion from government grants    
   and programs during the same time period.   
      
   That's not pocket change. Why the discrepancy?   
      
   The report (the first of its kind since 2002) was released in response    
   to a request from 31 U.S. senators and representatives and in an    
   atmosphere increasingly hostile to abortion. Not surprisingly. then, its    
   findings are fueling an escalating outcry to defund Planned Parenthood.   
      
   Since 2009, at least five nationwide polls have confirmed that a    
   majority of Americans consider themselves pro-life.   
      
   Someone, then, needs to explain to all those people why $2.3 billion in    
   tax dollars have been doled out to an organization that admits to    
   systematically having killed more than 1.8 million pre-born babies    
   between 2002 and 2008 and then reports it only spent $657.1 million in    
   federal dollars.   
      
   Has Planned Parenthood managed to tuck away megamillions of our tax    
   dollars, seemingly unnoticed? Or is that much of its government funding    
   coming from sources other than the federal government? Or is there a    
   problem with the way Planned Parenthood is reporting its expenditure of    
   our federal monies?   
      
   In just two weeks, Planned Parenthood will complete its 2009-10 fiscal    
   year. Yet it still has not released its annual report for its 2008-09    
   fiscal year. In light of the discrepancy revealed in this GAO report, we    
   must ask: What is Planned Parenthood trying to keep secret?   
      
   It's time for Planned Parenthood to come clean - if such a thing is    
   possible.   
      
   Yes, Planned Parenthood has other sources of government funding - state    
   and local - but historical data indicate it is simply not believable    
   that such a large amount of its funding is from local and state sources   
      
   GAO reports for prior years show that from 1997 through 2001, PPFA    
   expenditures of federal money accounted for an average of 72 percent of    
   its government income.   
      
   Yet this new report shows PPFA expenditures of federal money making up    
   an average of just 32 percent of its government income from 2002 through    
   2008.   
      
   Planned Parenthood's abortion business has increased year after year in    
   lock step with its increasing government funding, as evidenced by the    
   included chart.   
      
   Obviously, every penny Planned Parenthood receives feeds its abortion    
   business in one way or another.   
      
   For instance, Title X money is not to be used for abortions. However,    
   according to Abby Johnson, former director of Planned Parenthood's    
   abortion center in Bryan/College Station, Texas, it is used to gain the    
   trust of women in minority neighborhoods in order to bring them into    
   Planned Parenthood facilities, supposedly for health care, and then    
   persuade them to become Planned Parenthood birth-control clients. Then,    
   when the birth control fails, the organization has a built-in minority    
   clientele for abortion, which Ms. Johnson says is Planned Parenthood's    
   big cash cow.   
      
   Planned Parenthood affiliates continue to build huge abortion    
   megacenters in minority neighborhoods in an attempt to polish its image    
   and gear up for the veritable tsunami of clients that will be headed its    
   way under President Obama's health care plan, which earmarks $11 billion    
   for community health centers.   
      
   Is there no end to the amount of our hard-earned tax dollars that will    
   be poured down the bottomless pit known as Planned Parenthood to quench    
   this social-engineering agency's thirst for sexualizing our children,    
   stealing their souls and dumping the mutilated bodies of our children's    
   children into our nation's waste bins?   
      
   On May 14, Gallup produced its third consecutive poll showing that most    
   Americans identify themselves as pro-life. It is unthinkable that    
   American citizens continue to be forced to fund, by the sweat of their    
   brows, the organization that commits one-third of our nation's    
   abortions.   
      
   American Life League stands with pro-life legislators and hundreds of    
   thousands of grass-roots organizations and activists in calling for    
   accountability for the money Planned Parenthood has received from the    
   federal government and in demanding the immediate defunding of Planned    
   Parenthood.
