Planned Parenthood's "Abortions Are Just 3%" Claim is False

As we’re all VERY familiar with by now, Planned Parenthood absolutely insists that abortions only comprise 3% of their “services.” Now, even if this were an accurate representation of the truth, it would be abhorrent.

If it is only 3% - then PP would have no objection to dropping the abortion service no? I mean it is a measly 3%!

It’s only 3% of their services but they consider someone walking in to pick up one free condom from a bowl to be a “service”. The real picture is revealed when you learn they earn over 40% of their earned income from abortion services.

I was under the impression it was 100% of what they do and the only thing they did! When I was in high school during late 70-early 80s ALL of the young girls I knew who had abortions (which was quite a few sadly) FIRST went to the health clinic for a free prenancy test. If it was positive and ONLY then...they’d go to the “planned parenthood” clinic.

Hmmm..I never knew they offered anything but murder!

Nah, they're also into providing 'education' for teenagers about sex and contraception. It seems interesting to me though, that since they got into the 'education' business, the number of pregnancies among teenagers has skyrocketed. They're 'educating' all right, and the kids are using all they're learning, they're just not bothering with the contraception so helpfully provided by PP.
