Speaking of truth, you do understand the difference from your title to the actual article, I bolded to help you out, nice try though but rather amateurish.


"In 2010, abortion procedures made up 91% (329,445) of Planned Parenthood’s services for pregnant women, while prenatal services and adoption referrals account for only 8.6% (31,098) and 0.2% (841), respectively

The best part of the lame attempt at misinformation is that the link to Planned Parenthood's annual report, which is provided in the article, provides the data and results that the poster was trying to disprove:

ONLY 3% OF THE SERVICES THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD PROVIDES ARE RELATED TO ABORTION.

PPFA Annual Report

Thanks for posting the article link!!!

Correct but they don't want fact sway their opinion, only 3% of their services are for abortion. It's a shame that these people can't work together for a good cause rather than political posturing. I have to wonder what specifically caused the Komen foundation's change of heart, the mamogram excuse sounds rather lame, where are their donations heading now??

I'll tell ya what! Using stem cells can cause tumors to grow, but using

UMBILICAL cord stem cells does not, or had not when I researched them both. There is NO excuse for this stem cell argument in light of the umbilical being so excellent of a source of stem cells.

I love how people keep posting links that disprove their points:

"It’s possible that some past advances, such as organ transplantation, would not have been possible had people possessed modern expectations about the pace and safety of development. Though the treatment did not work, the tumors were at least able to be removed."The people who go to these transplants are people for whom there is no other cure," said Amariglio. "Research shouldn’t be stopped. It should be encouraged."

AMEN!
