So that means that 9 out of 10 people visit for PP for something other than an abortion, things like birth control, STD treatments, and cancer screenings. k20350 related his experience as one of those that utilized PP for something other than an abortion.

I can imagine that in many places PP is the only game in town, or the only place in an entire state, that actually offers abortion procedures. No surprises in that regard.


READ FAIL. Read the ENTIRE article and like PP, don't cherry pick sentences. usan B. Anthony List calculates (emphasis in original):
•In 2012, abortions made up 93.8% [327,166] of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy services, while prenatal care and adoption referrals accounted for only 5.6% (19,506) and 0.6% (2,197), respectively. For every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed 149 abortions.
