>>>Because this is what PP is about - women's health. Do you understand this or what?
>
>I understand numbers, not chants. Consider: PP does 35% of the nation's abortions but <1% of US pap smears and <2% of US breast exams. Is this what you mean by women's health?

>>>Look I'm giving you some slack here because you don't live in the USA and simply are unaware of what Planned Parenthood does, how they function, or for that matter pretty much anything about it.
>
>Alternatively, perhaps I earn my living knowing exactly what organizations like PP do and how they're funded. Don't let that stop you acting superior based on your own superficial internet searches, though.

I have close family members that are doctors, one of which is at Planned Parenthood. There is more to my knowledge about this organization that what I find in searches.

>>>You seem to think there is some sort of cover up or hiding going on - which is absurd as its a non-profit and that's not even possible.
>
>Go to any PP annual report in the last few years and find income broken down by service modality. I challenge you to demonstrate how their earnings for the <1% of smears and <2% of breast exams dwarf the income from the 35% of abortions. Maybe they do- but you won't find it in the annual report that (for the second time) replaces the usual earnings breakdown with service headcounts so that dispensing a $2 pill counts the same as a $1500 abortion.

>>>All I can say is you need to look deeper into Planned Parenthood and learn some more about it - because you can't talk about all the problems with it if you're clueless to anything about it -- and based on what you're saying here that's the conclusion I've come too. Again this is somewhat understandable as you don't live here and have zero experience with them.

>Whereas in real life, I described some figures to which you responded "you don't know what you're talking about" before reluctantly accepting all but one of them. For the 3rd time now:
>
>- 35% of the nation's abortions? I think you eventually accepted that.
>- More black babies in NY aborted than born? I think you accepted that too.

I never disagreed.

>Oh, I also mentioned mammograms. Does PP perform mammograms? I say "no."

..and you are incorrect about that.

>Last but not least: % of PP income from abortions. See reference to annual reports above. With PP refusing to publish the numbers as would end speculation overnight, apparently you feel uniquely qualified to issue declarations and talk down to others.

Then quite spewing falsehoods and 1/2 truths. If you don't want to be looked down upon then I suggest you don't falsely demonize an organization that provides heathcare for millions of women every year in a country you don't even live in based on incorrect and incomplete information while at the same time having zero personal experience with the organization or anyone affiliated with it or for that matter anyone that's ever even used it...hence my comment "you don't know what you're talking about".
