"It is very clear that the only abortion group expanding its business is Planned Parenthood, and the only reason it can do so is with the help of our tax dollars," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
His organization last year launched Project Daniel 5:15, which monitors and reports on the status of abortion businesses across the country.
Newman told WND that in the last two decades, two-thirds of the abortion businesses in the nation have imploded.

Stop Planned Parenthood, an effort of the American Life League, promotes a petition demanding that elected officials halt the flow of taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, an organization launched by eugenics advocate Margaret Sanger.
