I'm assuming that the person on the radio meant that most of the money that comes through the centers is made in abortions, since 58% of PP's money comes from the government and contributions. My source doesn't say what services are the "money makers" but at only 3% of the services offered it makes it unlikely that that's where they make all their money, especially considering a lot of people go to them for contraception (I'm not talking condoms although you can get those there too, I'm talking birth control pills, for the most part).
I know they offer a lot of services for free or really cheap, but their abortion services are cheap, as well, compared to an independent practitioner.

Yeah, I meant to say that abortion services is the "money maker" for PP, not their main source of income.
Which I can totally see if they offer most services for free yet charge $300 per abortion.
