Christian organization that runs on charity and not off the government teat is why.
ahemmmm.....6.7% funding yearly, from our government
Charity Navigator - Rating for ALSAC - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
6% means they do not rely upon the government.
But there is not a thing wrong for the government to subsidize PP the same as it does faith foundations that deliver service to our people.
PP received $542 million of tax revenue in 2012. Call me when any Christian charity gets half that amount.
FYI - the Catholic Charities receive $1.6 BILLION a year in Federal Govt Funding.
Planned Parenthood is a NON-PROFIT organization.
75% of the money Planned Parenthood gets from the Federal government is for MEDICAID reimbursement for medical procedures covered by Medicaid, of which any medical clinic or Doctor's private office that performs medical procedures for an approved MEDICAID covered procedure, receives reimbursement for those procedures....NOT for abortions.
the other 25% they get from the Federal government is Title X funds, which are funds for low income areas that provide birth control pills, IUD's, and pap smears, std testing, and other things covering for female health...NOT for abortions.
Most States gives these funds to any medical clinic in these low income areas for these female health issues, and many States have opened State run Clinics where there are no other clinics, in the low income areas for this purpose, and receive the Federal Funds for Title X to run them....
No Federal Money is given to planned parenthood or any of the title X clinics run by the States or other Non-Profit clinics... money for Abortion. It is against Federal Law for any Federal Funds to be used for Abortion.
