PP has been spinning their statistics and the media goes
along with it. They say “abortions only
make up 3% of services”, but they count abortion-related services.
They did 1.2 million pregnancy tests. Those tests are done
because a woman thinks she might be pregnant and is interested in an abortion.
You can get a $5 test at CVS if you are just curious. Then they'll give a 12
month prescription of birth control pills afterwards (12 services). There will
be a follow up exam (1 service). If she engaged in a risky encounter, they’ll
give her a STD test (~6 services - one for every kind of STD they test).
Other “procedures”
are misrepresentation. “Contraception services” is selling a condom. They are
probably sold to the clients that came in thinking they were pregnant. If they
sell a 12 pack, does that count as 12? CVS sells condoms too.
If you look at it via
money, it’s quite another thing. They had $1.2 billion in revenue including
$530 million from the government, so the revenue from customers was $670. They
did 330,000 abortions, so they made about $440 million from that. So that’s
2/3rd of their revenue.
