Even if abortion giant Planned Parenthood is attempting to minimize its role in abortions, a pro-life group is attempting to expose the truth.

Live Action has released a video (see below) explaining how Planned Parenthood is trying to fool the public by claiming abortions represent only three percent of its services. But that figure is deceitful.

Lila Rose, president of Life Action, explains that a woman who enters a Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion also receives a pregnancy test, an S.T.I. test, and is given contraceptives, too.

"Planned Parenthood counts it as four services," Rose explains, "and they're only counting the abortion as one service, even though she has come there for the abortion."

Rose likens that to a steak house claiming the steak, baked potato and butter, salad, and salt and pepper, count as six different items.

Planned Parenthood performs more than 320,000 abortions each year, a third of those done in the United States.

The abortion giant, meanwhile, is doing less than two percent of breast cancer screenings and less than one percent of pap smear tests, Rose points out.

"Now think about that," says Rose. "Less than two percent of the nation's breast cancer screenings, less than one percent of their pap tests - and yet they're doing nearly a third of the nation's abortions."

Those numbers clearly indicate abortion is at the center of it all, she says.



A century of poisoning the culture

In light of this misleading claim, pro-lifers across the U.S. are making plans to draw attention to what Planned Parenthood is really all about as the abortion-provider marks its 100th anniversary on October 15.

Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League describes it as "100 years of preying on our families, of promoting a poisonous culture – and since 1970, of aborting our children."

He continues: "Planned Parenthood actually used to oppose abortion, believe it or not. They used to say it's wrong because it's the taking of a human life – but they changed their tune in the late 1960s and they are now the nation's largest abortion-provider. Abortion is their number-one source of clinic revenue."

He's in agreement with Live Action, which has debunked Planned Parenthood's claim that abortion only represents three percent of its services. According to Scheidler, abortion is the only service Planned Parenthood continues to increase every year.

"Even as all their other so-called services – all of the STD testing and the breast exams and everything else – goes down and down and down every single year," he adds.

In response, he says pro-lifers are going to be confronting this 100th anniversary with nationwide prayer vigils at Planned Parenthood centers all over the country.
