LifeNews.com reports that Governor Schwarzenegger tax payer funded state budget proposes to cut $36 million from Planned Parenthood.

This is big considering the size of California.

President of Planned Parenthood said this will jeopardize their ability to provide essential health care. To which some may respond "if you really care then provide it without abortion. Look at the picture to the left. What about their essential care?"

"Unfortunately, there has been an attempt to distort the facts about the impact these budget cuts will have and how funds are being used. Let me be clear: family planning money does not fund abortions," she claimed.

While Richards claims the family planning money will go to help women with primary medical care, Planned Parenthood's own numbers show most pregnant women who go to its centers get abortions."

"...Planned Parenthood also says it helped just under 11,000 women in 2007 with prenatal care and pregnancy help services.

Yet, prenatal care and adoption referrals resulted for only 5 percent of the total services provided to women in 2007 while abortions accounted for 95 percent of the services that year, according to Planned Parenthood's own figures.

The report also shows more government funding for Planned Parenthood equals more abortions."
