There was much propaganda flowing in Indianapolis, Indiana over the last two weeks. Planned Parenthood of Indiana and the Independent Adoption Center announced the successful adoption placement of a newborn baby girl who rang in the new year with her new family.
News coverage of the event stressed that PP and the adoption agency have an arrangement where a representative from the adoption agency is physically present inside the Planned Parenthood clinic at Indianapolis.
What was not mentioned in all the hype is the fact that, according to Planned Parenthood's own numbers, in 2004 it committed 255,015 abortions and referred just 1,414 women for adoption services. That's 180 abortions for every one adoption referral. Clearly, adoption referral is not very big at Planned Parenthood.
What caught our attention is one line from the editorial in the Indianapolis Star, which was written by representatives of PP and the adoption agency. The line read: "Through the partnership, Planned Parenthood offers office space at its Georgetown Road facility in Indianapolis to the IAC at an extremely reduced rate."
Incredible! Planned Parenthood, who nationally made over $60 million last year, actually charges the adoption agency for office space. So, in addition to the positive publicity Planned Parenthood seeks as a result of this partnership, it also puts money in the bank.
When will people begin to understand that Planned Parenthood is strictly a business? Yes, it does do very few adoption referrals, but it has found a way to make money even from that.
