The organization treats each service \u2014 pregnancy test, STD test, abortion, birth control \u2014 equally. Yet there are obvious differences between a surgical (or even medical) abortion, and offering a urine (or even blood) pregnancy test.&#8221; For its dubious claim, Planned Parenthood earned three Pinocchios.<\/p>\n<p>This fuzzy math is actually known as &#8220;unbundling.&#8221; Basically, the idea is this: a woman comes in for an abortion, but while at Planned Parenthood, she receives a pregnancy test, an STI test, a &#8220;consultation&#8221; of some sort, an ultrasound, other lab tests,\u00a0an abortion, birth control pills, etc. That one abortion visit isn&#8217;t just counted as an abortion visit; it has now become\u00a0<i>seven\u00a0different services<\/i> &#8212; only one of which is the abortion itself.
