Abortion opponents claim Planned Parenthood had $300 million 'profit' | PolitiFact Florida
Quote:
Planned Parenthood receives about $363 million a year from the federal government, which can be used for cancer screenings, annual exams, birth control and other preventative services.
Quote:
Planned Parenthood is a money-maker. The claim comes from a U.S. News and World Report Washington Whispers blog on May 26 about U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- the Democratic National Committee chair who represents part of South Florida -- who called the GOP "anti-women" after the vote to de-fund Planned Parenthood. In response, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said: "The truly ?anti-woman? organization here is Planned Parenthood and the party that continues to defend its taxpayer funding when it has raked in more than $300 million in profits over the past four years. Fifty-four percent of Americans don?t want to be coerced into contributing to an organization they don?t believe in just by paying their taxes ? nor should they be."
Is that all the evidence you have?

As for making money, isn't that the GOP way? Reduces the burden on the taxpayers.
