There is more " shuck and jive" in that video than there is in the PP numbers. The vast majority, over 75%, of their services are STI detection and treatment and contraceptive services. No matter how much fuzzy math they want to use, only 3% of the services performed are abortions. PP isn't in the business of abortions, or even pregnancy services, so representing them as such is disingenuous at best. If 97% of your business is retail and 3% is investments, you don't get called an investment firm, do you?

No, it isn't. It is manipulating the numbers in a way to prey on the naive, but it is not lying. 94% of women that went to PP for pregnancy services went for abortions. They just still made up only 3% of the overall services performed.
