Clinics affiliated with Planned Parenthood are responsible for killing more unborn babies than any other organization in the U.S., and possibly the world. In 1993, PP clinics aborted 134,277 babies, according to the Planned Parenthood 1993-94 Service Report. That is 8.4 percent of the 1.6 million abortions performed every year in America.

While national abortion figures decreased in 1993, Planned Parenthood's increased by 3,000 from 1992.

PP clinics that do not perform abortions will refer women for abortions elsewhere. In 1993, they referred 80,743 women for abortions.

Abortion is Planned Parenthood's primary pregnancy "service." While they also offer prenatal care (to 9,943 women in 1993) and infertility treatments (789), the number of abortions is far greater.
-
Many of the birth control methods they dispense cause very early abortions. In 1993 they gave out post-coital contraception to 9,758 women. This very high dose of birth control pills renders the womb inhospitable to fertilized eggs.
-
Planned Parenthood clinics were involved in the U.S. tests of the abortion pill, RU486.
-
Planned Parenthood sex education programs teach young people that abortion is a viable alternative to pregnancy, among other objectionable ideas.
-
Planned Parenthood is the primary champion of abortion "rights" in Washington, D.C., and state capitols. They can be counted upon to oppose any and all pro-life legislation that would limit the reach of abortionists' knives, including laws ensuring informed consent and parental involvement in minors' abortions. They even oppose health standards for abortion clinics and laws requiring abortion record-keeping, while favoring abortion coverage in health care reform.
-
Planned Parenthood trains doctors to do abortions.
-
Planned Parenthood generates expensive ad campaigns defending the pro-abortion agenda and denouncing pro-life causes and individuals.
-
The International Planned Parenthood Federation works to impose abortion-on-demand in Third World countries, under the guise of population control and family planning.
