That 40 to 1 ratio of the cost of a pregnancy test vs. abortion might explain where the original discrepancy came from. Maybe the original was based on revenues, not transactions?
I hardly think so....the direct quote was:

I agree. It seems to me that most Republicans think that all Planned Parenthood does is abortions. That can't be further from the truth.

I'm still waiting for his response.

Even if that was true, and I highly doubt that it is since 13 seldom comes up with actual facts - how does a 40 to 1 ratio in cost equal a 90 or 91% revenue difference?

92:3 approx = 30...so...
I don't know where 13 got the original figure from. I was just pointing out that there is a difference between revenues and transaction count.

I didn't say anything about the % that was PFIEL wrong again. See his post #4.
I suggest the OP check google if he didn't think it was the right number. I never claim anything about the number. I neither know nor care.
Your spelling may be good, but you reading comprehension not so much.

Your post #6 plainly says it is 93% (not 92% as PRIEL says) of their business and tells the previous poster to try to google to prove that it is not.
Worrying about the twigs on the trees blind to the forest.
Clearly I was challenging the OP to prove FRIEL claim wrong.
Are you really this dense?

Planned Parenthood’s bottom line is numbers. And, with abortion as its primary money-maker, that means implementing a quota. I know this is true because I worked at one of their Texas clinics for 8 years, two as the clinic director.
Though 98 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services to pregnant women are abortion, Planned Parenthood and its political allies have sworn up and down that taxpayer dollars do not to pay for abortion. But of course they do. Planned Parenthood gets one-third of its entire budget from taxpayer funding and performed more than 650,000 abortions between 2008 and 2009. An abortion is expensive. Its cost includes pay for the doctor, supporting medical staff, their health benefits packages and malpractice insurance. As clinic director, I saw how money affiliate clinics receive from several sources is combined into one pot, not set aside for specific services.
Planned Parenthood’s claim that abortions make up just 3 percent of its services is also a gimmick. That number is actually closer to 12 percent, but strategically skewed by unbundling family planning services so that each patient shows anywhere from five to 20 “visits” per appointment (i.e., 12 packs of birth control equals 12 visits) and doing the opposite with abortion visits, bundling them together so that each appointment equals one visit. The resulting difference between family planning and abortion “visits” is striking.
This part is particularly damning:
Quote:
Another nuisance the organization is seeking to do away with is reporting sex abuse of minors. It has sued to overturn a child abuse reporting law applying to minors under 14 on the grounds that it violated a girl’s “constitutional right to privacy.” Planned Parenthood called the bill unnecessary given that its medical personnel are already obliged to report such matters and that filing additional reports would only “overload” the government. Planned Parenthood doesn’t want to bother the government with protecting minors.
Not even sure I can make a rational response to this article but I'll try.

Wow, just wow. The above bolded text is 100% BS. According to the author, the nurses working at planned parenthood are on a quota. Do they get a bonus each time they direct a 17 year old girl to get an abortion?
BTW: Federal Law prohibits federal money for abortions.
