Sorry I don't have the link. This is what stuck in my head: Though PP folks like saying that "5% of the services they offer have to do with abortion" (think of the long list of basic health care services that most medical clinics provide, and then put abortion on that list), <b>a full 85% of PP's clinic income comes from performing abortions</b>. That's the reality on the ground that's obscured by their "providing health care" rhetoric. St. Jimbob:

I'd like to see some statistics on the frequency of each outcome, as it will betray the priority PP gives them when discussing the options.
