May I ask a question here?

Every PP abortion patient is forced after the abortion to come back in and choose a birth control method, which is then sold or the prescription is given. NOT A SINGLE ABORTION PATIENT is allowed to avoid the birth control situation. Doesn't that affect the stats of "women's health services" they provide?

In addition to that, they may provide pregnancy testing that is cheaper than the pharmacy sticks. Maybe free, for all I know. Some of those women scared and getting tested will NOT be pregnant. Those women are also probably pushed to getting birth control from PP.

Once these facts are known, don't their stats of "providing women's health care" other than abortion make more sense? Outside of abortion patients, not a lot of people go there to seek out other women's health care. People need to understand this. Probably (guessing) 90% of the "birth control care" provided by PP is TO THEIR ABORTION PATIENTS.

The PP pie chart on their website shows abortions to be 3% of their services. That is bunk. Here is why (quoting from lifesite news)

So Planned Parenthood tries to walk a “fine line,” not relegating its abortion business to secrecy, but diminishing the role it plays. Therein lies the genius of the “3 percent of services” claim—a sham statistic, but one that Planned Parenthood has been incredibly successful in selling to the American public.

To arrive at that 3 percent figure, Planned Parenthood does some fudging and misdirection. Planned Parenthood depreciates the role abortion plays by defining its “services” in such a way that it avoids accounting for their time and expense. A single pregnancy test is designated by Planned Parenthood as a “service” and thus given equal weight to a far more time-consuming and expensive surgical abortion procedure, another Planned Parenthood “service.” Likewise, each pack of birth control pills is considered a service and carries the same weight in the calculation as an abortion. Using this rubric, Planned Parenthood justifies the claim the President of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, has made that abortion is, “a very small part of what we do.” [v]


It’s the hugest profit they have though, $99 million dollars. Let’s see a pie chart of where they get their money. It’s not from the pregnancy tests or packs of pills.
