Hey, America, do you know what you’re funding when your taxes go to “women’s health” via Planned Parenthood? You think I’m going to say abortion, don’t you? I don’t actually need to say that since you’d have to be brain dead not to know that part. But how about to Barack Obama’s re-election? Wait, you say! Not us! We give my money to Planned Parenthood because women’s health is important. Our tax dollars should support this crucial organization.

Government grants and funding to Planned Parenthood in the last reported year, 2009-2010, was $487.4 million — and so far $12 million from the non-profit has been given to re-elect President Obama (http://www.opposingviews.com/i/religion/planned-parenthood-spends-millions-obama). That’s right. This organization that says it cares so much about your cervix cares more about it’s proverbial booty.

Never before has the abortion provider spent so much money in an election, reports say. Neither has there been a precedent for the mother hen to leave her roost and go full time on the campaign trail, as Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards announced she’d be doing for Obama earlier this month. The woman who makes over $400K a year as the leader of the abortion provider has taken a break (http://www.lifesitenews.com/blog/planned-parenthood-ceo-t...) from her “day job”  running the national death squad to campaign for the president. It’s clear who’s actually ruling the hen house.

As Planned Parenthood reports on its 2010 IRS Form 990, Richards made $420,153. After she announced on October 19th she’d be working full time as a volunteer for Obama, the first thought you might have had is to demand she not take her salary for those few weeks. After all she isn’t working.

Oh wait.

If you recall, we pointed out recently (http://bound4life.com/blog/2012/08/30/are-you-supporting-...) that the real goal of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund is to raise money for political lobbying. So actually, spending $12 million in the election of the most pro-abortion candidate ever and going on the road to help win swing states actually is very much a part of Richards’ job.

And that, folks, is a key part of what’s wrong in our nation. When we give multiple millions to our leading abortion provider who then uses some of that to turn around and fund a campaign for that same government and go on the road to campaign for the leader who supports them, we have what resembles an inbred disease.

In reality, working people don’t get to take three weeks off to volunteer for politicians that support their causes, not even ones who might keep their company funded. In all my years as a school teacher not one of my districts would have allowed me to go campaign for the governor who might give us more state funds. See, I would have been leaving my students. But at Planned Parenthood, it’s not about the real patients. Richards isn’t running a company that helps people but one that kills them, so don’t let her rhetoric and steel smile convince you. She is interested in making another $420,000 and in Planned Parenthood getting another $487,000,000. Those are a lot of zeroes. Let the reader understand.

A man’s (and woman’s) heart is revealed by their actions. And actions, Ms. Richards, speak louder than your words about caring about women’s health.
