"'There's no place in Storm Lake, or whatever town they were in, you know, where you can get help as a pregnant mom. So really, don't you think your smartest choice is termination? We can take care of that, set it up for you,'" she continued, referring to her advice for the mothers.
Marianne Anderson, a former nurse at Planned Parenthood, admitted, "I felt like I was more of a salesman sometimes, to sell abortions."
"And we were told on a regular basis that you have a quota to meet, to keep this clinic open," she said.
Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action, insisted that Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, should be defunded and that Tuesday's report was further proof that it must.
"Planned Parenthood doesn't have quotas for adoptions. It doesn't have quotas for prenatal care. But quotas for abortions? Absolutely," she stated.
"It's time to redirect our tax money toward local health clinics that actually provide real care to women, instead of to Planned Parenthood, a corporation focused on upping its abortion numbers."
President Trump has promised his support of stripping Planned Parenthood of federal funds, and House Speaker Paul Ryan announced early in January an effort to defund the organization in a budget bill repealing the Affordable Care Act. A bill has also been introduced in the U.S. Senate to redirect federal funding away from Planned Parenthood to women's health care providers which do not perform abortions.
