Planned Parenthood downplays the extent of its abortion business in order to give the impression of an organization that devotes itself to helping the poor and preventing abortion. It does this by finessing the numbers.
PP sometimes claims that less than three percent of its services are abortion. It arrives at this figure by dividing the number of abortions done annually by the number of services provided: 305,310/10,921,825 = 2.8 percent.
At other times, PP claims abortion is 10 percent of its business. It then divides the number of abortions by the number of unduplicated clients: 305,310/3,020,651 = 10 percent.
However, STOPP easily shows that PP’s abortion business is 35 percent of its clinic income by dividing the income from abortion by the total clinic income: 132,809,850/374,700,000 = 35.4 percent. This explains why Abby Johnson, the former director of PP in Bryan, Texas, says that abortion is the most lucrative part of PP’s business. She quit because she was being pressured to increase the number of abortions in her facility in order to improve PP’s financial bottom line.
Each year, the number of abortions committed by PP increases, even in years when abortion numbers have declined nationwide. Download Detailed Statistics of Planned Parenthood’s Last Five Years.
