No More Tax Dollars for Planned Parenthood!

by David E. Smith

For well more than twenty years the nation's largest abortion provider has been funding large parts of its budget at taxpayer expense.

Planned Parenthood has received millions of your hard earned tax dollars, which in turn subsidizes its abortion practice through Title X funding for federal family planning and pregnancy prevention funding.

It's time the American people know that the largest recipient of federal Title X funding in
