“Abortions constituted 3 percent of the services Planned Parenthood provided...”

I smell rats with this statement. If you applied it to a car dealership, you could likely say that “car sales only amount to 3 percent of what the dealership sells.” That is, equating the sale of one car, with the sale of one can of motor oil, or the sale of one pine tree scented ornament.

If instead you look at gross profit, the vast majority of the money a car dealership makes is in selling cars, not that other stuff, which is spare change.

And with PP, they make the bulk of their money from aborting fetuses.

Heavily subsidized, on top of that, by the government, that is not in fact paying them to do that other stuff, which is minimal, but in reality to abort fetuses.

Yes - very misleading and all the morons who hang onto every word from this left wing media will easily be deceived...

Planned Parenthood
Claim 1: Three percent of all Planned Parenthood health services are abortion services.
Planned Parenthood offers fewer factual claims than its opponents, but a common factoid in discussions on the role of abortion in the organization’s work is Planned Parentood’s statement that abortion makes up a small fraction of its health services. The key phrase in this statement is “health services.” This is not the same as percentage of its budget or number of clients. In 2009, Planned Parenthood conducted 332,278 abortions. This is three percent of the 11 million services it provided. Clients, however, often receive multiple services. A woman receiving a yearly gynecological exam would likely be counted as one of the 900,000 pap tests, 800,000 breast exams, and other services. Planned Parenthood had 3 million clients, making women receiving an abortion around 10 percent of its clients.
