Government Accountability Office: American Taxpayers Gave $1.5 Billion to Abortion Providers
by Dr. Susan Berry 8 Mar 2018
Federal and state taxpayers provided $1.5 billion in funding to abortion providers over a three-year period, says a new report released by the watchdog agency Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The report, which was requested by 120 members of Congress led by Reps. Diane Black (R-TN), Pete Olson (R-TX) and Chris Smith (R-NJ), and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), shows that, between 2013 and 2015, taxpayers sent $1.5 billion to abortion providers Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), and Marie Stopes International (MSI). GAO found that these three organizations spent $410 million in federal funding between 2013 and 2015, and received $1.2 billion combined federal and state funds under federal health programs that require shared funding.
BREAKING: A @usgao report I requested in 2016 on @ppfa reveals more than $1.5 BILLION in taxpayer $ is going to the big abortion industry. Abortion is not family planning. Abortion is family destruction & the American people deserve better. #DefundPP t.co/TVll8uPz3o

Black said the report by the GAO exposes the “atrocities” that “are done at the expense of taxpayers.”
