Front page WSJ: Planned Parenthood charts
This is Part II of a 3-part post on a front page Wall Street Journal article today entitled, “Planned Parenthood hits suburbia.” (Read Part I here and Part III here.)
Following are informative charts that accompanied the story. The source for all stats was PP. Click all charts to enlarge.
It’s true. PP is the Wal-Mart of the abortion industry, running out the mom and pop chop shops thanks to taxpayers, whose subsidies allow PP to unfairly undercut the competition….
PP claims it is reaching out to higher class clientele, but the stats don’t bear it out. It would help if PP would plop its mills in other than poor minority neighborhoods, as it is in Denver…
Here’s another chart defying PP’s claim it is reaching out to fat cats (unless it’s because they’re pregnant). In fact, PP is honing its services to sex promotion and mop-ups…
PP’s $1 billion bottom line last year…
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Front page WSJ: Planned Parenthood rebrands
A front page story by Stephanie Simon in today’s Wall Street Journal focused on Planned Parenthood’s nationwide expansion strategy: Flush with cash, Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide are aggressively expanding their reach, seeking to woo more af…
Thanks for promoting a very interesting WSJ article. However, maybe you should have read the WSJ article before commenting on it.
For example you state “PP plops its mills in poor minority neighborhoods, as in Denver” The article correctly states the new Denver center is “near the booming upscale community of Stapleton”, not a “poor minority neighborhood”.
I didn’t see “sex promotion and mop ups” in any of the services charted in the article.
A factual article from the WSJ is an interesting contrast to your brand of hysterical hyperbole.
The Aurora clinic is near the booming upscale neighborhood of Naperville. Yet, no one would argue that the demographics of Aurora are of lower income minority people.
I suspect this is the same in CO.
I think you are mistaking the words “near” with “in.”
Bystander, 2:23p, did you mean to selectively quote? Surely not. Here’s the entire passage on the Denver mill:
The new $6.3 million health center sits in a poor neighborhood of modest bungalows with iron bars on the windows. But it’s also just a few blocks from the booming planned community of Stapleton, where custom estates sell for $1.2 million.
Charles, 2:51p, if your definition of “near” means 14 miles, which is how far Aurora is from Naperville, then by golly you got me.
God forbid someone wants to provide adequate health care to the underprivileged and minorities.
As the charts show, they do provide millions of breast exams, pap tests and disease testing and treatment. It also does thousands of primary care visits and prenatal care, also abortions but we can all see that does not make up the majority of what PP offers.
Jill and Charles,
Since I have only lived in the Denver area for 40 years, and have only visted the Stapleton area 500 to 1000 times, I am sure your knowledge of that area is far superior to mine.
Jill, 14 miles isn’t that far. I have easily run 15 miles. People were built to walk long distances. We just got lazy.
14 miles isn’t far at all.
WSJ blog continues the Planned Parenthood discussion; quotes Stanek
This is Part III of a 3 part series on today’s Wall Street Journal article, “Planned Parenthood hits suburbia.” See Part I here and Part II here. Reporter Stephanie Simon accompanied her piece with a blog post at WSJ’s Front…
Jill, Aurora borders Naperville. Their downtowns are possibly 14 miles apart. The PP clinic is actually much, much closer to the tony neighborhoods of Naperville than it is to the poor neighborhoods of Aurora.
I walk 4 miles to work every day (and take the Metra and a bus). So if someone has a car, and I’m betting most people in the Denver/Aurora areas do… then going 14 miles isn’t a far distance.
I think it’s clear that PP is placing their new locations in areas where they can reach both the middle class and poor.
Those charts make me sick.
btw pro-aborts. Worcester, Mass (one of PP super killing centers) is in the heart of low-income Hispanics of Massachusetts.
So, for 2005 did PP do approximately 270,000 abortions out of 1.2 million?
So what?
If PP helps women who have unwanted pregnancies, so much the better, just as with them helping women in any health matter where they can do so.

Well done, Jess. Let the decision to have an abortion or not be between a woman and her doctor.
Well done, Jess. Let the decision to have an abortion or not be between a woman and her doctor:
you mean this decision?
Jasper, when have I ever said that? It should be the woman’s decision more then anything. If a woman was desperate to abort she would find a way, doctor or no doctor. The child has been conceived, wether it wanted to be or not. She is able to choose wether or not to be pregnant, wether the child wants her to or not.
Being a former fetus I support my Mom’s right to choose, to give birth to me, if she aborted the pregnancy I would have supported that too.
A new acronym for Planned Parenthood:
NAZI
National Abortion Zealots Incorporated
I think NAZI has already been coined Hisman. Now whenever I think of NAZI’s, I think of Say Anything’s Alive With the Glory of Love. I’m also in love with a Jew. So what’s new with you Hisman?
HisMan do you know of any recent or current connection between PP and Nazis in the USA?
Jess, you wrote: “People were built to walk long distances.”
Yes, while they are younger than 35.
Jess, my mistake. I should have put it in quotes. I was responding to Margareta.
The decision is between a woman and her doctor…
What doctor?? The abortionist?? The one I had that didn’t look at me nor talk to me?? Or one like SoMG who spends about 5 min. talking to a woman??
How many women have family doctors that they discuss this with??
I get so tired of 30+ years of the same ol rhetoric!!
But Barack Hussein Obama added that abortion is between a woman, her PASTOR and her doctor….and if she doesn’t have a pastor??
Yes, Carla, I also object to the assumption that “a woman” is religious and that her religious advisor is a pastor.

It happens Carla. Our Ob/gyn spent a lot of time with us before our abortions. In fact, he seemed more rushed during our deliveries. (although I have no complaints, he is a very talented and caring doctor.)
God works in mysterious ways. The federal funds allow Planned Barrenhood to squeeze out all the competition, and when they are finished, we can make a concerted effort to get their funding cut and drop the hammer on them.
Best to target the anteater than all the ants. :)
There you have it. PP may be the single largest abortion provider, but it also provides disease screening, contraception and prenatal care. How is preventing disease bad?
