Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains has awarded one of its locations with a certificate noting its increase in the number of abortions performed. The Aurora Planned Parenthood clinic was congratulated “for exceeding abortion visits first half of fiscal year 2012 compared to first half of fiscal year 2013.” 

Life News previously reported that Planned Parenthood has abortion quotas; clinics are required to meet a certain number or they face scrutiny from the organization. Sue Thayer, a former Planned Parenthood Center Director said, “If there was a shortage of the number of abortions done at a clinic, that clinic manager had to have an action plan explaining why they were short that month and what she was going to do to make sure that it wouldn’t happen again.”

Abby Johnson, founder of pro-life group And Then There Were None wrote, “Planned Parenthood wants abortion to be safe, legal, and RARE. If they want something to be RARE, they certainly wouldn’t have quotas, right?”
