Anyone who’s heard about Planned Parenthood has surely heard the line that “Abortion is only 3% of the services we provide.” In fact, this little 3% claim is Planned Parenthood’s personal, self-reported, oft-repeated abortion statistic. But saying something over and over\u00a0doesn’t make it true.\u00a0Is it honest to claim that abortion is only 3% of what Planned Parenthood does?<\/p>\n

Well, if numbers and statistics actually matter (and they should), the 3% abortion claim is completely bogus. Even Slate, a liberal media outlet, has called this “the most meaningless abortion statistic ever<\/a>.” The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> – not exactly a paragon of conservative thought – awarded Planned Parenthood three Pinocchios for its\u00a03% claim, calling it “very misleading.”<\/p>\n

To see how Planned Parenthood came up with the 3% deception, and to see the reality that the numbers actually spell out, watch this brand new motion graphics video from Live Action:<\/p>\n
