In 2008-2009, Planned Parenthood received $363.2 million in government grants and contracts, equating to roughly one-third of its total revenues for that fiscal year. Statistically, 1 in 10 Planned Parenthood clients receives an abortion (via FactCheck.org).
According to Gallup (http://bit.ly/Lqp1d2), only 41% of Americans identify themselves as "pro-choice," while 51% of Americans identify as "pro-life."
Mr. President, it is the belief of the undersigned that our tax dollars ought not to fund an organization that provides abortion services when there is such a grave divide in our nation with regard to this issue. We ask that Planned Parenthood herewith be privately funded, receiving no federal assistance, in respect to these facts and in respect to the avowed majority of Americans.
