Slaughterhouse.
(Washington Examiner) — Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., has deservedly taken plenty of flack in the last two days for making up numbers on the Senate floor and then explaining that his comments “were not intended as a factual statement.”
But when liberals rebut Kyl’s made-up numbers about what Planned Parenthood does, they point to the numbers planned Parenthood provides [pdf], which Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein posted in pie-chart format, at right.
These numbers are incredibly misleading, and should not be taken as a factual statement.
First, let’s use Planned Parenthood’s own terms, and break out the services the provide for pregnant women (see above).
In brief: If a pregnant woman walks into a Planned Parenthood, she almost always walks out no longer pregnant.
