Idonsinkso!



For a few months in 1976 I lived in a Christian Community in the mountains of Kangwando Province, Korea called Jesus Abbey. While there, I taught some of my Korean brothers how to play a card game my family called, “I Doubt It.” But the Koreans had great difficulty pronouncing the word “doubt” so we changed the oft repeated phrase to, “I don’t think so” which they gleefully pronounced as “Idonsinkso!”

Planned Parenthood loves to remind us how they are “all about women’s healthcare” and to minimize the abortion component of their gruesome business model. And every time I hear their spiel I think to myself, “Idonsinkso!” PP recently released its annual report, and unsurprisingly, their own numbers reveal the deceptive nature of its "women's health care" narrative.

The Big Picture:
The big picture shows that the abortion chain is losing clients and reducing what few health services it offers to women, while at the same time increasing its revenues and committing more abortions.

Some Specifics from the Annual Report:

  • Abortions are increasing at Planned Parenthood even when they’re declining nationally. The abortion giant committed 328,348 abortions in 2015 vs. 323,999 in 2014. That's nearly 900 abortions every day. 
  • Planned Parenthood only provided 2,889 adoption referrals in 2015. That means it committed nearly 114 abortions for every one baby it referred out for adoption. 
  • Planned Parenthood's almost nonexistent prenatal services were cut nearly in half to 9,419. This tiny number was out of the 9.5 million total “services” Planned Parenthood says it did in 2015. 
  • Breast exams are down 12 percent in a single year. In fact, in 2015, Planned Parenthood committed more abortions (328,348) than it did breast exams (321,700)! Its own numbers prove exactly where its priorities lie. 
  • Despite the loss of clients, government funding went up slightly to $554 million in 2015. 
  • And the 10-year trends shows even more how committed Planned Parenthood is to abortion at the expense of women's health care: 
  • Prenatal services were negligible to begin with, but are DOWN 29 percent, from 13,261 (2005) to 9,419 (2015). 
  • Breast exams are DOWN 62 percent, from 842,399 to 321,700. 
  • PAP tests are DOWN 74 percent, from 1,116,681 to 293,799. BUT... 
  • Abortions are UP 24 percent, from 264,943 (2005) to 328,348 (2015). 
  • And government funding is UP 82 percent, from $305 million to $554 million. 

"Women's healthcare?" Really? Idonsinkso, PP.
