Planned Parenthood has often said that abortion accounts for just 3% of what they do. But is it true?<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood’s\u00a0latest annual report<\/a>\u00a0shows the organization’s health service revenue came in at $833.7 million (305.3+528.4):<\/p>\n

Abortions performed by Planned Parenthood totaled 327,653 last year:<\/p>\n

Guttmacher Institute, an abortion research\u00a0group founded by Planned Parenthood reported that in 2009<\/a>, the average surgical abortion cost $451 and the average drug based abortion cost $483. Using average inflation since 2009, we get $490 and $525 respectively in 2014. Guttmacher also lists<\/a> that abortion at 20 weeks cost $1,500 on average. Most second trimester abortions<\/a> are done a little earlier than 20 weeks so we will use $1,200 as an average second trimester abortion cost.<\/p>\n

Again using data from Guttmacher<\/a>, we find about 11% of abortions are second\u00a0trimester and 23% are drug based abortions. The math looks like this:\"planned-parenthood-abortion-math\"<\/p>\n

This analysis tells us that out of Planned Parenthood’s $833.7 million in annual clinic revenue, $188.8 million is from abortion. This comes to 22.6% from abortion, and not the 3% Planned Parenthood likes to use. The Washington Post earlier this year<\/a> called Planned Parenthood’s 3% claim “misleading” and gave it three Pinocchios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
