I mean, totaling up abortions, adoptive referrals, and prenatal services, which would be all of the services a pregnant woman would go to PP for, abortion makes up about 94% of those. However, those services in total still only make up 3.29% of the overall services performed.
The video is, as onemoreintothejimbreech pointed out, carrying out the misdirection that they are claiming of Planned Parenthood. PP doesn't state that most pregnant women don't get abortions that come to them, they say abortions only make up 3% of the services performed, which is accurate. This pro-life organization's video says that about 94% of pregnant women going to PP get an abortion, also accurate. Both are using their words selectively in order to make their stance more appealing.
That's why usa today won't use the pp number of 3%. And it's just showing that pp is using shuck and jive to make what their doing look better.
