One Abortion Every 94 Seconds

A new analysis from National Right to Life finds that nearly 1 in every 9 women who go to a Planned Parenthood clinic have an abortion and that those clinics perform an abortion in the United States once every 94 seconds. Those revelations, among others were contained in a review of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s (PPFA) 2011-2012 annual report conducted by National Right to Life Director of Education and Research Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D. Dr. O’Bannon is one of the right-to-life movement’s most authoritative experts on the abortion giant.
“By their own numbers, Planned Parenthood continues to show that they are deeply entrenched in the business of abortion,” said Dr. O’Bannon. “In 2011, Planned Parenthood clinics performed 333,964 abortions. Even as current data indicate the total number of abortions in the U.S. has been going down, Planned Parenthood keeps increasing its share of the abortion industry performing well over 25% of the annual estimated total of abortions performed in the United States.”
