Biden: Planned Parenthood ‘Under Law Cannot Perform Any Abortion;’ Planned Parenthood: We Did 985,731 In 3 Years
(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden said at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse on Friday that Planned Parenthood “under law cannot perform any abortion.”
Planned Parenthood itself has published fact sheets indicating that it did 985,731 abortions in just the three years from 2008 through 2010. These included 324,008 abortion in 2008, 332,278 abortions in 2009, and 329,445 abortions in 2010.
Biden made his remark in response to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney position that he would defund Planned Parenthood.
“And now these guys pledge that they are going to defund Planned Parenthood, which under law cannot perform any abortion,” said Biden. “You heard it last night again.”
Biden may have confused whether Planned Parenthood can legally perform abortions with whether it can legally use the federal subsidies it receives to directly fund an abortion.
A Congressional Research Service report published on Aug. 28 said that the federal government gives Planned Parenthood about $66 million per year in Title X “family planning” grants. The law prohibits recipients from using Title X money for abortion except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. However, Planned Parenthood and other organizations that receive federal subsidies under Title X can take the federal money and do abortions at the same time as long use other dollars—not the dollars they got from the federal government–to pay for an actual abortion.

The only remaining logical reasoning would lead any sane-minded person to conclude Planned Parenthood is above the law.

Sooo, Title X keeps the doors open and the lights on, Ford Foundation keeps the suction pumps running?
I don’t care if a woman gets an abortion, just don’t piss down my neck and tell me it’s raining.

A million abortions in three years?
And only 80,000 of them were black babies?
Or was that 80% of them were black babies?
Quite a difference there.

Since most victims of PP are black….I would say that nearly a million black people slaughtered in America in 3 years qualifies as a GENOCIDE.
….but Democrats have been doing this for 180 years and blacks still vote for slavery, segregation, poverty, illiteracy, stupidity, lynchings and GENOCIDE.

He was talking about it being illegal in states 51 through 57, which may be true.
