Youngstown, OH - Planned Parenthood of North-East Ohio (PPNEO) hosted an "unveiling" of the newly remodeled abortion referral center Thursday. The center closed its doors in January 2010, along with the Mahoning Women's Center, a former aboratorium.
PPNEO CEO Tara Broderick claims no public funding was used in the remodelling project.
The nations largest abortion provider reports receiving $363.2 million in government funding in 2009, the most recent annual report provided.
A statement from the White House states "Having emerged from the worst recession in generations (really?)... the President’s Budget provides $327 million, an $11 million increase above 2010 enacted funding, for Title X Family Planning programs... and has provided $270 million for teen pregnancy prevention and related efforts... A $110 million initiative targets funds for grants to community-based and faith-based organizations that implement the evidence-based models that have been proven to work in reducing teen pregnancy... In addition, CDC will receive $22 million for teen pregnancy prevention to fund nine state- and community-based organizations and five national organizations to promote the use of evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs."
This equals $729 million in total tax-payer funding for fiscal year 2012.
Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger who believed abortion was the answer for the "negro problem".
"Negroes present the great problem of the South, " as they are the group with "the greatest economic, health and social problems," and outlined a practical birth control program geared toward a population characterized as largely illiterate and that "still breed carelessly and disastrously," NYU, "Birth Control or Race Control? Sanger and the Negro Project," #28, Fall 2001.
In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, December 10, 1939, Sanger wrote, "We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
True to their legacy, this chapter of PPNEO is located on the south side of Youngstown. Why not Poland or Canfield?
