Important information for Wisconsin Taxpayers...
Dear Wisconsin Taxpayers,
I would like to bring this very important article to your immediate attention, "Planned Parenthood plans to expand abortion services nationwide." (A half million abortions have been performed in Wisconsin alone over the last three decades since Roe v. Wade was handed down.)
After reviewing this article, a couple of items should become very clear to the parents and taxpayers of Wisconsin:
1) How vitally important it was for taxfunded Planned Parenthood to get their extreme Sex Ed bill signed into law this last Session. (Sidenote: In case you were unaware, Planned Parenthood pushed so hard that at one point when the bill was being voted on in the Senate and the Assembly, one Democratic legislator having come out of the Democratic Caucus meeting said they just got done telling "Planned Parenthood to go to He**.")
Please protect the young children in your family so they don't become future Planned Parenthood customers and further grow Wisconsin's government-funded programs. Again, the Family Planning Waiver (Wisconsin's "free" teen birth control program for children as young as age 15 in which parental consent/notification are not required) costs Wisconsin's taxpayers approximately $16 million each year.
Important: If you are not aware of what an integral role values-free sex education plays in supplying the abortion industry with young patients, take just two minutes to watch this brief tell-all clip featuring former abortion provider Carol Everett and narrated by Dr. Alveda King (niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.) at http://www.bloodmoneyfilm.com/
2) If Planned Parenthood intends to expand its abortion services, this will require more trained abortionists. If you will recall from earlier this summer, there were several news articles about our taxfunded UW-Madison's practice of having med students receive abortion training at the local Planned Parenthood abortion facility. The likely outcome of this practice is to increase the number of abortion providers.
Note: As the article below states,
Planned Parenthood received $363 million in federal funding in 2008-'09. Planned Parenthood's annual report can accessed via the article below. Planned Parenthood receives approximately $12 million each year from the hard-working taxpayers of Wisconsin.
With a looming $3 billion budget deficit in our state, Wisconsin taxpayers need to be asking themselves why millions of their tax dollars are being used to prop up the abortion industry in our state.

Abortion may soon be more readily available than ever before, thanks to a new requirement from Planned Parenthood that more of its centers nationwide offer the service. At least one local chapter so far has decided to withdraw from the network rather than comply.
A local office of Planned Parenthood in South Texas is dropping out of the nationwide network of "America's most trusted provider of reproductive health care" starting January 1.
According to local news reports, Planned Parenthood is planning on standardizing all of its agencies, which includes requiring that every single one offer abortion services. The CEO of the Coastal Bend office, however, said in a media interview that her center has never provided abortions in the past, and doing so now is unnecessary.
"Our position is that if that is a need in your community, fine," said CEO Amanda Stukenberg. "There are far greater needs in our area than abortion. We feel that women here have options. We don't need to duplicate services."
When contacted by The Daily Caller, Lisa David, senior vice president of Health Services Support for Planned Parenthood, said that the organization is implementing a broad "new patient services initiative."
"From well-woman exams to lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screenings, more patients will now have access to the full range of Planned Parenthood services," David said in a statement. "To meet the needs of our patients, Planned Parenthood affiliates will now offer a unified set of core preventive services."
In the next year, according to David, Planned Parenthood will expand immediate access to testing for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). During the next two years, all Planned Parenthood centers will begin to "provide the full range of birth control method options, such as the IUD, in addition to well-woman exams including critical cancer prevention screenings."
She went on to say that abortion services will be offered in at least one clinic per affiliate. However, a waiver may be obtained in the case of "unique local circumstances."
Some, however, argue that the expansion of abortion services is more about lining pockets than making women feel safe and secure. "Planned Parenthood claims they're concerned with women's health and family planning," a spokesperson for the Family Research Council, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that advances "faith, family and freedom," told TheDC.
"We've been hearing rhetoric lately that abortion should be safe, legal and rare, but [with this requirement] we can see the writing on the wall. The bottom line is there is no place in the U.S. where a woman would have difficulty getting abortion if they want to."
The spokesperson went on to say, "This is about expanding services and bringing in more money. They try to create a public image where everything focuses on STDs, family planning, etc, but abortion is a profitable endeavor."
Right now, Planned Parenthood has 817 health clinics throughout the U.S. Of those, 173 already perform surgical abortions, and 131 perform chemical abortions. The Planned Parenthood network is made up of 87 locallygovernment regional centers, which then oversee hundreds of other clinics.
Earlier this month, Planned Parenthood released its 2008-'09 Annual Report, revealing that it received $363 million in federal funding that fiscal year.
