Pro-Life Activist: U.S. Needs to Cut Off Rich Abortion Mill's Taxpayer =
Funding
STOPP Director Says Plan B Means Big Bucks for Planned Parenthood=20
By Mary Rettig
August 31, 2005
(AgapePress) - The head of the pro-life activist group Stop Planned =
Parenthood (STOPP) says it's time to call for a halt to U.S. government =
funding for that organization, especially now that the supposed =
non-profit agency has made what he calls a sweetheart deal with Barr =
Pharmaceuticals, producer of the "Plan B" morning-after pill.
STOPP executive director Jim Sedlak says the arrangement between the =
Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Barr Pharmaceuticals means =
that the nation's largest abortion provider will be making $20 in profit =
for every Plan B kit it sells. "And last year," he notes, "Planned =
Parenthood says they sold 774,000 kits, which means they made a profit =
of over $15 million."
Any organization that can turn over that kind of money no longer needs =
or deserves federal funding, Sedlak contends. He says people should call =
their federal, state, and local governments to cut taxpayer support for =
Planned Parenthood, whose recent business would seem to ensure a healthy =
bottom line without the subsidy.
"Barr has agreed that for a five-year period it will sell Planned =
Parenthood Plan B at $4.25 a kit," the STOPP spokesman points out. "Now, =
Planned Parenthood sells this kit currently for $25," he says. "The =
retail price is $32, so Planned Parenthood is already undercutting the =
retail price."
Planned Parenthood already receives a third of its budget from U.S. =
taxpayers, Sedlak asserts. He says it is time for Americans to tell =
their legislators that Planned Parenthood makes quite enough money on =
its own, and that hardworking citizens do not need to fund it any =
longer.

SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell =
