What We Are Up Against

Planned Parenthood bus

Abortion is the leading cause of death in the United States with an approximate 1.2 Million children losing their lives every year. The problem is sometime overwhelming and incomprehensible, but we know that “With God all things are possible.”

“With God All Things Are Possible.” Matthew 19:26

In Missouri the last operating abortion facility sits right here in St. Louis, Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the leading abortion provider in the country reporting 332,278 abortions in 2009 and only 977 adoption referrals.

While the national abortion numbers continue to decline, Planned Parenthood’s abortion numbers have steadily increased over the last 9 years. Looking at the facts, Planned Parenthood is about abortion, not choice.

Planned Parenthood is an abortion advocacy group. They actively oppose any law that restricts abortion, including parental consent laws and parental notification laws.

Planned Parenthood led the fight to keep the most gruesome procedure, partial-birth abortion legal.

Locally, Planned Parenthood has performs over 5,580 abortions in St. Louis every year, averaging 18 abortions every day.
