Planned Parenthood’s ‘3%’ claim debunked again

At The Federalist, former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, founder of abortion worker outreach And Then There Were None, writes about attending a women’s conference in Detroit, Michigan earlier in 2017. She says the conference was “sponsored solely by progressive organizations, including premiere sponsor Planned Parenthood, my former employer.” Johnson makes clear that pro-life views were not represented in any way at the women’s conference, and she shares the truths that were revealed behind closed doors.

Abortion: the focus for Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood’s “3%” Statistic is False

While Planned Parenthood’s public relations machine pushes the “3%” statistic (referring to the claim that abortions comprise only three percent of the organization’s services) to society at large, behind closed doors, they and their supporters acknowledge that this statistic is totally false. Johnson writes:

The three percent statistic, to which even a Washington Post fact-checker gave “three Pinocchios,” was debunked by Live Action in the following video:

Debunking Planned Parenthood's "3%" Abortion Myth

Abortions Have Increased 24 Percent at Planned Parenthood in the Past 10 Years, Even Though the Chain Has Lost 600,000 Clients in the Last Five Years

Live Action News’ Carole Novielli pointed out that no matter how much abortions increase at Planned Parenthood (while other legitimate health care services decrease) that three percent figure the abortion chain always claims inevitably remains the same:

The most recent statistics from the abortion corporation’s own annual report show that in 2015-2016, it committed 328,348 abortions. That’s up from 323,999 in 2014-2015 — an increase of 4,349 abortions in just one year. During that same time frame, as Planned Parenthood’s abortions went up, the chain actually lost 100,000 patients.

Planned Parenthood’s market share of abortions continues at a steady uptick; it currently commits 35 percent of all abortions in the United States, making it the largest abortion corporation in the nation. The chain’s STI testing and treatment, contraception, cancer screenings (not mammograms — remember, Planned Parenthood doesn’t do those, even though it has misled the public on this for years), and more have all been on a downward trend for years. What isn’t? Abortion.

Abortions increasing, services decreasing at Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood Dangles Other Services as a Gateway to Lucrative Abortion

In May of this year, Abby Johnson noted on her Facebook page that every service the abortion chain hands out is really a gateway to sell women abortions:

While publicly, Planned Parenthood’s president can be heard downplaying “abortion services” (as in the video above), the numbers really do speak for themselves. Just six years ago, it was shown that 38.4 percent of all Planned Parenthood health center income was from one service alone: abortion.

The staffer Abby Johnson heard at the Detroit Women’s Convention was right: the majority of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion, and they know it — all while they lie to the American public about it.

Why are taxpayers still funding this corrupt organization? A total defund is needed immediately.
