(CNSNews.com) -- Planned Parenthood's latest annual report, for 2018-2019, shows that the abortion giant performed a record 345,672 abortions in fiscal 2018 and received a record $616.8 million in government reimbursements and grants in the year that ended on June 30, 2019..
For the time period of Oct. 1, 2017 through Sept. 30, 2018, Planned Parenthood offices performed 345,672 abortions, according to the annual report.
Also, Planned Parenthood offices received $616.8 million in government health services reimbursements and grants for the year ending June 30, 2019.

"Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. (PPFA), is a tax-exempt corporation under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and is not a private foundation (Tax ID #13-1644147)," states the annual report. "Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent available under the law. Planned Parenthood affiliates have the same tax status."
“We learned two tragic facts from Planned Parenthood’s newly released annual report: that the number of children Planned Parenthood killed in the womb is at a record high and, shockingly, so is the amount of money it received from taxpayers," said Alison Centofante, director of External Affairs for Live Action.
"This abortion machine, which is responsible for the taking of more than 345,000 preborn lives this year– a number consistently on the rise -- should be defunded immediately and shut down," she said.
In a September 2016 letter urging people to join his Pro-Life coalition, Donald Trump stated that he was committed to "defunding Planned Parenthood as long as they continue to perform abortions, and reallocating their funding to community health centers that provide comprehensive health care for women."

"Together we can form this vital coalition so that Mike Pence and I can be advocates for the unborn and their mothers every day we are in the White House," stated Trump.

“I Cut the Vocal Cord
So The Baby Can't Scream.”
Dr. Leah Torres, an OB/GYN in Salt
Lake City, Utah, said that when she performs certain abortions she cuts the
vocal cord of the baby so "there's really no opportunity" for the
child to scream. She also described herself as a "uterus ripper
outer" because she performs hysterectomies.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand:
‘Our Lives Depend On’ Protecting Abortion Rights

“Our lives depend on” protecting
abortion rights, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) claimed Friday in response to
breaking news that restrictions on the termination of unborn babies in Missouri
had been signed into law.
Reacting to an Associated Press
(AP) story that Missouri’s new law bans abortion at the eighth week of pregnancy,
Sen. Gillibrand tweeted that women’s lives depend on forcefully fighting back:
“Women can't afford for us to
take half-measures in response to an all-out onslaught on their rights. We have
to fight back like our lives depend on it. They do.”
According to the AP story, Missouri’s abortion ban
includes exceptions when the life or physical health of the mother is endangered
by pregnancy:
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on
Friday signed a bill that bans abortions on or beyond the eighth week of
pregnancy without exceptions for cases of rape or incest, making it among the
most restrictive abortion policies in the nation.
…
The measure includes exceptions
for medical emergencies, such as when there is a risk of death or permanent
physical injuries to “a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.”
What Is It With
Democrats And Death?

They oppose legislation to prevent them from being killed. They
pass legislation that seeks ways to ensure their death. They make outlandish
and ridiculously stupid claims as justification to do so. And when presented
with evidence to the contrary they flinch.
Recently I found myself in a conversation with perhaps the
single most influential person not currently in elective office in New York
City.
We were discussing the impact of the six or seven states that
have adopted “heartbeat bills” and Alabama’s recently passed nearly 100%
abortion ban.
This person’s observation specifically: “If Republicans don’t
stop with the pro-life issue, they will push women to vote for... (dramatic
pause inserted) ...Democrats.”
So Democrats are supported by those who want the right
to see their children dead.
In New York it was the Democrat elected Assembly and governor
who passed, signed into law, and then gave themselves a standing ovation on the
dead-of-night passage of that state’s new legalization of killing children
after they had been born.
In Virginia it was a Democrat governor who eerily described on
morning radio step by step what happens when they decide whether a born child
has the right to live or be killed.
On Friday, at a gathering of nearly 1300 New York City/Tri-State
area pastors, those gathered learned that Democrats have opposed the expansion
of crisis pregnancy centers, while actively pushing for the expansion of
abortion facility licenses. This happening while three NYC Democrat-controlled
zip codes are the only ones where abortions outnumber live births.
Democrats often claim that to be in favor of killing of children
is to be “pro-woman.” Yet they refuse to acknowledge that their policies have
ushered in the death of more than 30 million women in
recent years.
Democrats claim that no child should be forced to live a life
unwanted—that every child—they argue should know a life of love. Yet they fail
to recognize that at any single point in time there are somewhere around 2 million couplesseeking
adoption while last year Americans killed a touch more than 800 thousand innocent babies in 2018.
Democrats have argued for mandatory tax-payer funding for low
income women to have their children killed without having to pay for it. They
have also turned around and resisted efforts by then President George W. Bush
to incentivize and encourage marriage which statistically speaking
provides greater financial and emotional security for the woman and the child.
Democrats argue in favor of government administrated gun control
laws—which leave children in high crime areas far more vulnerable. Democrats
argue against common gun ownership by law abiding citizens which again would by
law leave children at the mercy of criminals. Democrats almost unilaterally
ignore the gunman’s choices in school shootings. They also never fail to
condemn gun makers. The very gun makers that produced the tools used to stop
most school shooters.
Democrats refuse to assist the children separated from real
families (not the coyote rapists) in the current immigration crisis. Democrats
also looked the other way when President Clinton signed the family separation
law, and President Obama began to enforce it.
And this week Nancy Pelosi led the charge of Democrats and for
the fiftieth consecutive time were able to kill legislation that prevented post
birth killing of children already born. Akin to the dead of night New York
State Assembly vote—Democrats on the national stage voted to keep the
killing of born children—legal.
They claim it’s all about
compassion. They cite statistics that
are in themselves so small that they—statistically speaking—almost never come
into play. Or do they?
Bottom line Democrats argue in favor and tirelessly work for the
death of children—born and unborn.
I just don’t get why.
It seems to me to be very cruel and completely lacking in the
compassion they too often invoke.

25 GOP Senators Urge That
Spending Bills Protect Pro-Life Measures
May 24, 2019 Updated: May 26, 2019
Twenty-five Republican members of the
Senate urged Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) on May
23 to preserve “all long-standing pro-life and religious freedom protections in all appropriations
bills” that advance out of the committee.
The senators also appealed to Shelby “that
you do not advance as bill-text any language that weakens pro-life and
religious liberty actions taken by the Trump administration.
“The unborn are the most vulnerable members
of our society, yet they are under attack. In 2015 alone, 638,169 unborn
children lost their lives to abortion,” they said.
“This is a terrible tragedy, and we must
continue to prevent federal funding from supporting the unjust practice of
elective abortion.”
Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Marsha
Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Kevin Cramer
(R-N.D.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Michael Enzi (R-Wyo.),
Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), James
Inhofe (R-Okla.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rand Paul
(R-Ky.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), James Risch (R-Idaho), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.),
Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Rick Scott
(R-Fla.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).
The signers also told Shelby that “the
right to live and worship in accordance with one’s religious beliefs is a
bedrock principle of the American founding. The First Amendment of the
Constitution prohibits Congress from interfering in the free exercise of
religion. With this in mind, it is critical to retain the longstanding riders
in appropriations legislation that safeguard the ability of citizens to live
out their faith.”
The letter to Shelby comes against a
backdrop of aggressive moves by pro-life advocates to win passage of new
legislation that significantly limits when abortions can be performed.
In Alabama, for example, Republican Gov.
Kay Ivey signed a measure that effectively bans all abortions and contains no
exceptions for rape or incest, making the new law the nation’s toughest.
Other states considering similarly
restrictive measures include Missouri and Texas.
The aggressive pro-life campaigns followed
actions in New York in which pro-abortion advocates succeeded in gaining
passage of a measure that essentially makes the procedure available right up to
the point of a baby’s birth.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the
measure amid a celebration with pro-abortion advocates.
The federal measures the 25 senators seek to
protect have been in place in one form or another since passage in 1976 of the
Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funding of abortions. The amendment was
named after former Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.).
A recent Government Accounting Office report said
Planned Parenthood (PP) received more than $1.5 billion from the government
between 2013 and 2015. Planned Parenthood says it uses federal dollars for
non-abortion-related expenses.
Nationwide, PP clinics performed more than
320,000 abortions during each of those years.
President Donald Trump renewed the
Protecting Life in Global Health Policy initiative in 2017 that bars U.S.
foreign-aid dollars from being used to pay for abortions.
The policy was first instituted by
President Ronald Reagan in 1984 during a United Nations conference in Mexico
City and was continued by President George H.W. Bush and President George W.
Bush. Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did not observe the
Mexico City policy.
The 25 senators also encouraged Shelby to
ensure that “no riders be added that would threaten” Trump’s renewal of the
Mexico policy, and they noted that a recent Marist poll “showed that 75 percent
of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion abroad.”
