162 abortions an hour

Topics: Life Issues, Political News and commentaries

162 abortions an hour. That's Planned Parenthood's rate of abortions, for which they need 81 doctors working all day, every day, doing nothing but performing abortions just to stay at this rate:

[...] let's put the Planned Parenthood abortion count up against a clock and a calendar. The general rule of thumb -- especially for those of us who like our math tidy and simple -- are that there are 250 working days in a calendar year, and 8 hours in a working day. Running that total number through those numbers gives us 1,296 abortions per day, or 162 abortions an hour (emphasis mine).

Now to compare that number to a couple of numbers the liberals love to cite: American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. The most recent total are 4,447 in Iraq, 1532 in Afghanistan since the invasions in 2003 and 2002 respectively.

That means that on an average week, Planned Parenthood performs the same number of abortions as the total number of Americans killed in Iraq by around noon on Thursday -- and shortly after lunch on Friday, adds in the total number of Americans killed in Afghanistan.

That''s every week, pretty much.

Jay Tea has more.

If the number of abortions an hour makes Planned Parenthood sound like an abortion mill, that's because that is exactly what it indeed is. As a report by Rita Diller and Katie Walker in the Washington Times back in September 2010 titled "Quietly racking up the abortion toll - Planned Parenthood's business model depends on delivering death" pointed out ... 96.5 percent of pregnant women who received maternity-related "services" from Planned Parenthood aborted their children, with only 3.5 percent receiving prenatal care or adoption referrals.
