CNSNews.com repeatedly engages in the journalistic malpractice of reporting the number of abortions Planned Parenthood performs, followed by the amount of federal money Planned Parenthood receives, without informing readers of the fact that none of that federal money pays for abortions.
It does so again in a Jan. 7 CNS article by Penny Starr, which reports that Planned Parenthood clinics “performed 333,964 abortions in fiscal 2011” and that it received $542.4 million in “government health services grants and reimbursements.” Keeping with dishonest practice, Starr refuses to report that none of that federal money paid for abortions.
