Disgusting Lie of the Day: Abortion for Profit
Coral Ridge Ministries is running with a story from “Cross Examine” about two supposed former abortion providers coming clean about the “Abortion for Profit” industry.
I can’t find a cached link for this yet, so I’ll just cut and paste this non-sense, redacting contact info.
Ex-Planned Parenthood Clinic Director and Former Abortion Clinic Owner Expose Business of Abortion on Cross Examine TV
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (April 27, 2011) – Two former abortion industry insiders talk candidly about the business of abortion this week on Cross Examine, a nationally aired television program featuring Dr. Del Tackett.
“If you want to keep the doors open, you better sell alot of abortions,” says Abby Johnson, who left her post as executive director of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic in 2009. “I was probably the best in my clinic. I sold abortions to girls as young as twelve.”

Carol Everett, an owner of two abortion clinics in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the 1980s, wanted to become a millionaire. “And the way for me to be a millionaire was to sell 40,000 abortions a year.”
It was easy money. When she opened a new clinic, “In the first month that clinic would pay for itself, and the second month it would be a cash cow.”
Johnson charges on the program that Planned Parenthood, a $1 billion corporation which took in $363 million from government sources in 2008-2009, sets abortion targets for each clinic.
“Planned Parenthood absolutely has quotas that each center has to meet,” Johnson says about her former employer, which performed 324,008 abortions in 2008.
“They have an abortion budget and they have a certain number of patients that you have to perform abortions on every month, and there’s a dollar amount attached to each woman.”
Everett’s business plan included outreach in schools with talks given to break down children’s natural modesty and promote Everett and her clinic associates as trusted authorities for all things sexual.
Everett wanted students to “come to us with their sexual questions so we could put them on a low dose birth control pill we knew they’d get pregnant on. Of course we passed out condoms but we never passed out high quality condoms; we always used seconds or defective condoms. Our goal was to get the kids pregnant.”
The target, Everett says, was “three to five abortions between the ages of 13 and 18 from every girl we could find.”
Cross Examine co-host Dr. Del Tackett said it is “shocking to realize that this industry actually attempts to increase the number of abortions, rather than a desire to make them rare as we are led to believe.”
I am certain that these two will be exposed as frauds, and I am equally certain that it won’t matter one bit to the wingnut community at large that these two are liars.
There is no lie too disgusting nor unbelievable for the Ant-Choice crowd.
