#1 A little over $1700. per procedure if my math is correct.

#2 Hmm $1700/abortion seems steep. How much were they able to recoup by selling baby parts for scrap?

#3 Wel, Besoeker, there's admin costs, postage and handling because those spare parts don't get to labs by themselves, dontcha know.

#4 Did the report detail non-government insurance payments and self-pays? You need to know that in order to figure out the approximate change for a life termination.

#5 Obviously cheaper than terminating a convicted murderer on death row. How come they get a decade long waiting period?*

* oddly Tim McVeigh was able to skip the usual waiting period.

#6 McVeigh was convicted directly by the Feds, #5 P2k. Skipping all the state court appeals shortens the appeal time tremendously.

#7 I guess we will see if Tsarnaev gets the same expedited treatment. I'm guessing "no..."

#8 $1700, when prophylactic devices are already provided free by public and private health services organizations. Puritanical denial and lack of education has a price.

Easy to bitch about the cost but not so easy for parents to teach their ten year olds about sexual hygiene. Few of these are criminal conceptions.

#9 I'm guessing the same thing, too, M. Murcek. >:-(

#10 I am sure that they mostly charge the patients for the operation itself and shake the government down for "counseling services" in which they recommend that the patient get an abortion. This process would maximize their revenue and allow for the claim that tax dollars don't go to fund abortions. The government also probably funds Morning After pills which "aren't an abortion." Also the government may be paying for Planned Parenthood to sterilize people in other countries or provide other State Department services overseas.

#11 According to the Planned Parenthood website, patients are charged on a sliding scale for abortions depending on ability to pay. If they have health insurance they are to bring their insurance card and i.d. when they come to the initial appointment.
