April 17, 2024, DALLAS, TX — Jeff Bradford, President of Human Coalition, issued the following statement after Planned Parenthood published its 2022-23 annual report:
“This report is jarringly titled ‘Above and Beyond.’ It touts the number of children killed by abortion at Planned Parenthood clinics last year – nearly 400,000 – and funding that Planned Parenthood provided vulnerable women to have these abortions. Planned Parenthood brags about its partnerships with influencers and tech companies to promote abortion online. The sick irony is that they are going ‘above and beyond’ not to care for women, but to expand abortion – more wounded women, more dead children.
“At Human Coalition, we know full well that vulnerable women are victims of the abortion industry because we see the walking wounded all the time. They leave abortion clinics and return to the very circumstances that pressured them to abort in the first place – poverty, unemployment, family pressure, or domestic abuse. Abortion solves none of these problems. And in our experience, most of these women seeking abortion – 76 percent – would prefer to parent if their circumstances were different.
“Our pregnancy centers and partner pregnancy centers provide them with a range of care support they didn’t know they had, and walk with them to a place of stability and empowerment where they can be the mothers they wanted to be. This is true empowerment because they leave our centers transformed. We are here for women and children and we are proud to be the ones who will truly go ‘above and beyond’ for them.”
The organization reported more than 392,000 abortions – a five percent increase from the previous year. In addition, Planned Parenthood reported nearly $700 million in taxpayer funding and claimed that demand is up 700 percent in states with liberal abortion laws.
