Wow. I wasn't aware that there was so much demand in Houston for late-term abortions that you could fill seven floors and 78,000 square feet with patients. Who knew? I guess I'd better join the anti-abortion brigade.
I seriously doubt this is true.

How about asking if the history of the United States as written by Kim Jong Il is true?
For starters, I'm willing to bet the article is intentionally misusing "profits" instead of "revenues", knowing that most Examiner readers can't tell the difference. Second, as a nonprofit, they are required to plow back almost all of their profits into the provision of services. Third, they only get a third of their funding (not profits, funding) from the federal government. Fourth, assets of 1 billion. So what? They have close to a thousand facilities all over the country. Add up the building and the medical equipment, and that's a little over $1 milllion per facility. Pretty spartan, don't you think?
Especially since the states keep upping the regulations on those facilities. In VA they now regulate them like hospitals, so they have a lot of infrastructure costs. I think that was the point of the legislation.

I doubt because it's from the Washington Times, not exactly an unbaised source.
I am a little weirded out because - get this - the article was sent to me by a guy I used to have recreational intercourse with. In my defense, if I had known he was a Republican, I wouldn't have f*cked him. But that's what I get for being a slut and sleeping with a guy before I knew him really well. We're still FB friends and he's been trying to debate me when I post about the War on Women.
I don't know if I am more disappointed in the fact that he is a Republican, he reads the Washington Times, or his hypocrisy - I was on my employer-paid pill, we used a condom, AND he has a vasectomy.

On the other hand, once you have decided your politics, facts don't matter anymore.
I just pulled last year's annual report. Surprise! No $500 million profit. Based on that, I'd say it is a hatchet job.

OP, why do you doubt? Because any sort of liberal organization (which arguably a pro-choice entity like Planned Parenthood is) can't possibly be guilty of wrongdoing?

The HHS Inspector General and state Medicaid programs regularly audit Planned Parenthood and report publicly on their findings. These audits have not identified any pattern of misuse of federal funds, illegal activity, or other abuse that would justify a broad and invasive congressional investigation.

I wouldn't want to trust news delivered in an editorial. I'd rather see some objective reporting about the allegations and audits.
