Defending Planned Parenthood, LA Times Relays 'Abortion Is 3 Pct. of Its Services' Myth

Earlier today, I noted that Los Angeles Times reporter Maria L. La Ganga compared the heroic undercover work done by investigators at the Center for Medical Progress to the 2004 efforts of the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth. She meant it as a negative, claiming that the Swift Vets' assertions about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's service in Vietnam and his antiwar activities after he returned home are "considered by many one of the ugliest, most unfair attacks in recent political memory." She even claimed — knowingly engaging in falsehood, in my opinion — that "the Swift boat claims were later discredited." Sorry, ma'am. The Swift Vets' truths stand tall to this today.

Though the Times Seattle bureau chief doesn't reference it in her writeup, an Associated Press chart contained therein relays a falsehood Planned Parenthood routinely promotes. This one claims that "Abortion is 3 percent of Planned Parenthood Services":

I saw the chart posted someplace the other day and thought, that doesn't seem right. Thanks to newsbusters to bringing more info to consider.

The truth may be ugly but it is never unfair.

the lefts answer to anything that goes against the dogma they fallow is that the person or organization is lying. The last thing that anyone on the left wants to do is actually examine there belief system. the reason for this is that if they were to examine it they would discover how truly EVIL some of those beliefs are.

Here’s a bigger lie - the so-called women’s health provider- Planned Parenthood doesn’t even do mammograms. This, despite a flat-out lie by Obama that they do “millions a year” that Candy Crowley let go unchallenged.

When is some going to expose PP lies?

Faithfully repeating the 'Blast E-Mail' from the DNC. Not unexpected.

If it’s only 3% of their business, then they can afford to cut back by 3% and stop offering the service in order to save their funding!

Actually, I believe this is totally accurate, the other 97% of their services are:
1. Abortion Consultation Services
2. Abortion Education Services
3. Pre-Abortion Physical Exam
4. Waiting Room Amenities for Abortion
5. Fetus Evacuation and Recycling
6. Fetus Organ Resale
7. ....you get the idea

No. They cannot discover how evil their beliefs are as they simply do not recognize evil. They recognize greater or lesser degrees of utility for their beliefs, but not good and evil. Any rhetoric they use regarding good or evil is a sham.
