Susan G. Komen for the Cure defunds Planned Parenthood

I did some research on PP yesterday as part of a discussion I was having on FB. In 2010, PP performed 11,003,366 services. Less than 3% of those services were abortions. The other more than 97% is STD testing, various forms of birth control (including vasectomy), cancer screening and prevention (including paps and colopscopy procedures), pregnancy tests, adoption counseling, etc.

I think that gets lost on a lot of people who are focusing solely on a single, politically charged issue.

Yes, and you can break that down further, as some of those "abortions" are really post-miscarriage care.
