There's no restriction preventing a Planned Parenthood doctor from spending half of his time performing abortions and the other half prescribing contraception. So there's good reason to believe that tax dollars are literally lining the pockets of abortionists.

"The survey, conducted by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling and worded to begin by informing respondents of Planned Parenthood’s most popular services, found “overwhelming” opposition to the cuts, pollster Tom Jensen wrote in a memo. The survey — which doesn’t use the word “abortion” — found that 57 percent of voters opposed barring federal funding for Planned Parenthood"

RACISM
a Jame O'Keefe/Lila Rose sting in 2008
As the local Fox affiliate reported at the time:
Caller: "We just think the less black kids out there the better", [Planned Parenthood of Idaho's Vice-president of Marketing and Development Autumn Kersey]: (laughs)...understandable, understandable". The caller requested his donation go towards a black woman's abortion and stated he had trouble with affirmative action. The magazine found that Idaho's Planned Parenthood and the other six state offices agreed to process the racially earmarked donation without hesitation.
"Planned Parenthood firmly and unequivocally denounces racial bias in the delivery of health care," Rebecca Poedy, CEO of Idaho's Planned Parenthood said in a statement. "A fund raising employee violated the organization's principles and practices when she appeared to be willing to accept a racially motivated donation. This employee made a serious mistake. We apologize for the manner in which this offensive call was handled."

On August 1 in West Hartford, Connecticut, charges of criminal abduction were filed against a 41-year-old dog trainer named Adam Gault. For nearly a year, Gault had allegedly hidden a runaway girl, now 15, in the house he shared, Hugh Hefner-style, with two other girlfriends (ages 26 and 40 and also charged with crimes arising from the incident). He had gotten the teenager pregnant and procured an abortion for her on May 1 at a Planned Parenthood clinic in West Hartford. About a month later, police discovered the 15-year-old, whose mother had been searching frantically for her since her disappearance from home in June 2006, locked in a storage space under a staircase at the residence of Gault, a onetime workplace acquaintance of the girl's stepfather. A DNA test on the corpse of the fetus indicated that Gault was its father. It is not known what sort of identification the girl, too young for a driver's license, presented the clinic's administrators. She apparently wouldn't name the father, and it is all but certain that no one at Planned Parenthood went out of their way to inquire into the circumstances that led to her pregnancy.

In one of those cases, the abuser, now serving a five-year prison sentence, was the victim's own father, who had forced his daughter to share his bed and have sex with him starting at age 13; another, involving the same Planned Parenthood branch in Cincinnati, Ohio, also featured a 13-year-old, this one impregnated by her school soccer coach who accompanied her to the clinic and paid for the abortion with his credit card, while she showed the staff her junior high school ID card. Spokesmen for Planned Parenthood have insisted that such cases are flukes (or that the victims lied, relieving the clinics of responsibility), and that clinic staff are carefully trained to report all instances of suspected abuse.
ACORN was a ward of the Demcoratic party. Planned Parenthood is the Democratic party--as much or more than the AFL-CIO or any union.
