here's the reality, it's ~25% of all abortions:

That means for 97.6 percent of its 340,276 pregnant clients, abortion was Planned Parenthood?s provided ?service".

Since 1970, Planned Parenthood?s involvement in the abortion business has grown tremendously. With each passing year, it performs more abortions, even though the national abortion rate has declined steadily since 1990. Today, Planned Parenthood performs and profits from one in every four abortions in the United States.

It is difficult to understand why the profitable Planned Parenthood needs such a large handout from the American taxpayer.

It is a big number, but it is all relative. That number of abortions still only represents about 10% of all the patients they see.

To put it into perspective, if they stopped doing abortions completely they would retain 90% of the clients/patients.
