Six organizations that perform or promote abortion received at least $967 million in federal funding in fiscal years 2002 through 2009, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.

 The report, made public June 16, looked at government funding given to Advocates for Youth, the Guttmacher Institute, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Population Council of the United States, and Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.

GAO had been asked for the report by Rep. Pete Olson, R-Texas, and 30 other members of Congress, including five senators.
“With the national debt over $13 trillion — costing every American $118,000 — we must apply strict scrutiny to every federal dollar allocated,” said Olson at a June 16 news conference at the U.S. Capitol.
“That this tax money is spent by organizations that offend the majority of Americans (who oppose taxpayer funding of groups that promote or perform abortions) only further justifies the need for this alarming report,” he added.
The GAO report showed the following government funding:
– Advocates for Youth, $8.7 million.
– Guttmacher Institute, $12.7 million.
– International Planned Parenthood Federation, $3.9 million.
– Planned Parenthood Federation of America, $657.1 million.
– Population Council of the United States, $284.3 million.
– Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, $300,000.
