Planned Parenthood Loses 400k Donors in 2018-2019 Fiscal Year
Planned Parenthood brands itself as the premier women’s health organization for women seeking reproductive care across the country, but the report confirms what the organization’s critics have said: abortion is at the top of Planned Parenthood’s priority list and at the center of its business model. The report shows that in the previous year, Planned Parenthood performed 345,672 abortions, the organization’s highest total to date.
This mass exodus of donors also occurred just after Planned Parenthood ousted Dr. Lena Wen, the first actual physician to be the face of the organization in nearly fifty years, on account of ‘philosophical differences.’ Wen, in addition to her seasoned resume, offered Planned Parenthood a chance to dispel the narrative that abortion is the organization’s sole focus, to prove critics wrong. This opportunity was short-lived when Planned Parenthood chose increasing abortion revenue over Dr. Wen’s medical expertise.
