When times are tough, all businesses have to examine their product offerings, and focus on the ones that are the most profitable.  If you’re business happens to be Planned Parenthood, then your cash cow is abortions:

According to [Abby] Johnson, the non-profit was struggling under the weight of a tough economy, and changing it’s business model from one that pushed prevention, to one that focused on abortion.

“It seemed like maybe that’s not what a lot of people were believing any more because that’s not where the money was. The money wasn’t in family planning, the money wasn’t in prevention, the money was in abortion and so I had a problem with that,” said Johnson.

Abby Johnson worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years, the last two as the Director of the clinic in Bryan, Texas.  She resigned last month.  Partially because of the renewed emphasis on abortions over prevention, but mostly because of the horror she felt in witnessing an ultrasound of an abortion procedure.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that abortion is one of those things that most people defend in the abstract.  It’s a little harder to defend when you have to see it for real.

Predictably, Planned Parenthood has responded to Johnson’s enlightenment with a lawsuit.

But, there is a bright side.  At least we don’t have to pretend that Planned Parenthood is anything but a baby murdering factory anymore.

I’ll give Ed Morrisey the final word:

It doesn’t surprise me to see Planned Parenthood pressure its offices to push abortions harder.  That’s their core business, after all, and with less money flowing into the abortion mills, they need to market it more aggressively.  It does remove the veneer of “community service” that PP claims while defending themselves, however.  They’re in the mass-production abortion business, plain and simple, which Johnson finally discovered.
