We’ve long detailed how CNSNews.com falsely suggests that federal funding for Planned Parenthood pays for abortions. Thomas Cloud does this yet again in a March 30 CNS article:
According to its latest annual report, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) received $487.4 million in tax dollars over a twelve-month period and performed 329,455 abortions.
In fact, those two numbers have nothing to do with each other. The federal money Planned Parenthood receives cannot and does not pay for abortion services.
