You Won't Believe How Much Austin, Texas, is Charging Planned Parenthood to Rent Their Clinic: This Must Stop!

Abby Johnson : Apr 15, 2015  LifeSiteNews

It's just sickening ...and WRONG.

(Austin, TX) - Sometimes you hear things and they seem so unbelievable that you don't believe it. When I heard that the City of Austin, Texas was renting a building to Planned Parenthood for $1.00 a YEAR, and had been doing so since 1972, I didn't believe it…or rather, I didn't want to believe it. Yes, I know that Austin is our liberal dot in the middle of conservative Texas. But $1.00 a year for over 40 years? That couldn't be right. But it is. It's right here in black and white on the minutes of the City of Austin's City Council meeting. (Photo via LifeSite News)

And not only do they lease city property to Planned Parenthood for $1.00 a year, they have given them a 10-year lease...with a 10 year extension.

I started to think about services that are grossly underfunded in our beautiful city. The first that came to mind was our animal shelter. Austin runs one of the very few no-kill shelters in the state. They never have enough money. In fact, I called our Austin Animal Center and was told by one of their employees that they "never have enough money to care for the animals in the shelter." When I asked if they were funded by the city, her answer was, "Barely."

So let me get this straight. In this liberal Mecca of a city, we are allowing Planned Parenthood to lease a building so that they can continue the mass killing of our babies...yet, we won't even properly fund our animal shelters? The building leased by Planned Parenthood is 3,720 square feet. I looked up the going rate per square foot in the area where this building is located...it's on average $500/sq. ft. So, this building is worth $1.86 MILLION.

Here in Austin, we don't appropriately fund our animal shelters and we don't appropriately fund services for women to receive the lifesaving breast screenings that they need. But we DO allow Planned Parenthood, our country's largest abortion provider, to rent a city building for $1.00 per year.

Let's also not forget that Planned Parenthood nationally gets over half a billion dollars of our federal tax money. They don't need any more of our dollars.

If you are an Austin resident and this makes you as sick as it makes me, please voice your concern to our city council members.
