Planned Parenthood Aborts 327,653 Babies In 2013

Planned Parenthood reported a near record-breaking profit of $127.1 million dollars in 2013 as they performed over 327,000 abortions.

The total of 327,653 was an increase of 500 abortions from the previous year despite the rest of the abortion industry seeing an overall decline in the number of infant deaths.

The profit for the group includes over $528 million dollars in taxpayer money that funds of the abortion-celebrating group.

“The big picture is that abortion numbers are sinking to record new lows and that is because of the abortion clinic closures,” Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue told The Christian Post. “Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood has an artificial money stream that comes into their organization from the United States government to the tune of about a half a billion dollars a year.”

“They say that the money doesn’t go to abortions. It goes to other services,” Sullenger explained. “But frankly, it goes into a general fund, and the money gets spent for whatever they need it to be spent for. I think it is disingenuous to say that they have segregated the federal tax dollars.”

The report celebrating Planned Parenthood’s abortions showed that 94 percent of the group’s pregnancy services in 2013 were abortions.  The totals show 174 abortions for every adoption referral.

The total number of adoption referrals by the group fell 14 percent.

Polls show that 70 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer money funding Planned Parenthood.

New Jersey Town To Buy Land For Mosque

A New Jersey town will spend $2.75 million dollars to purchase land for a mosque.

The money is a settlement in a lawsuit filed by Muslims who were prohibited from opening a mosque in another part of the community.

The settlement between Bridgewater, New Jersey and the Al Falah Center will total $7.75 million because in addition to the city buying the land, they will pay $5 million in damages and attorney’s costs.

In 2011, a planning board rejected a proposal for a former inn to be turned into a mosque citing a new ordinance that only allowed houses of worship to be located along major roadways because of traffic concerns.

The Muslim group filed a suit in front of an Obama appointed federal judge, Michael Shipp, who barred the city from enforcing their ordinance and ordered them to reconsider the application.  The judge said that the community had “anti-Muslim prejudice.”

The city said they made the agreement to avoid using tax dollars to pay for legal costs.

“The preservation of our residential areas and the ability to zone uses appropriate for their locations is a critical right that the township fought to preserve,” Mayor Dan Hayes told reporters. “This settlement leaves our ordinance intact, ends our exposure to the almost unlimited costs of further litigation and allows all parties to move forward.”
