Ezra Klein Shills for Planned Parenthood Abortion Industry

I never cease to be amazed, but Boy Wonder Ezra is up to his progressive tricks again, "What Planned Parenthood Actually Does" (via Memeorandum).

... As you can see in the chart atop this post, abortion services account for about 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities.

Check the post for the chart he's talking about, but no matter. The "3 percent" figure is a blatant lie, and the rest of Ezra's post is questionable on the facts, and a diversion from the real issue in any case. Here's Live Action on the numbers, "38.4% of Planned Parenthood’s 2009 “Health Center Income” is from Abortion":

THE TRUTH

• Annual abortions performed at Planned Parenthood: 332,278 Source: Planned Parenthood 2009 services fact sheet


• Average cost of abortion: $468 Source: Guttmacher Institute estimate


• Total income from abortions: $155,506,104


• Total health center income: $404,900,000 Source: Planned Parenthood 2009 annual report

This means that fully 38.4% of Planned Parenthood health center income comes directly from aborting unborn children.

So, only "3 percent of activities"? I guess for Ezra abortion services are kinda like the Constitution --- too hard to understand.
