Your hard-earned tax dollars

Planned Parenthood receives approximately $300 million per year from the federal government for all their programs, excluding abortions. This money comes from the tax dollars that are deducted from our paychecks every pay period. They have a huge amount of money between this and private donations and endowments. This is one of the reasons their people are so generously paid.

Less than 2% of PP's services rendered in a given year have anything to do with abortion. They don't deliver babies, so I think you're confused, Chris.

Missed the point

An organization's pricing structure or name does not gaurantee benevolence. The real question is - have the condoms been tested against other brands.

Non-profit status does not prevent an organization from making a profit. Obviously paradoxical but true none-the-less.

Planned Parenthood is supported by private and corporate donations and patient fees, as well as government grants.

Speaking of paradox - Planned Parenthood makes significant money and has greater organizational relevancy precisely beacause unplanned pregnancies occur.

Planned Parenthood

Wow someone is missing the point of "Planned" Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood

Since Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization, I don't think it's accurate to state that they "profit" from unprotected sex and unplanned pregnancies.

They also subsidize the cost of emergency contraception and provide reproductive health services and cancer screening to populations which might otherwise be unable to afford such care.

Like McDonalds Selling Appetite Supressants

Does anyone else see a conflict of interest here? Planned parenthood profits financially from unprotected sex and unplanned pregnancies. I'd be interested to see these condoms tested against others. How about some jouranlistic initiative here. How do these condoms stack up against existing brands when it comes to preventing stds and pregnancy?
