Validation

It's nice to see when the points I have made in a blog are validated in a national media article. I made a number of arguments in my take-down of Planned Parenthood recently ... including its misleading claims about its abortion practices and statistics ... see: Pee Pee. Now the Weekly Standard has published an article that validates most of my points in this above-reference post ... see: Weekly Standard Article. In particular these quotes comes directly from this referenced Weekly Standard piece:

PolitiFact concedes the source of this statistic is Planned Parenthood's own annual report. If you take the number of services listed in the report, exclude the ones that don't apply to women who aren't pregnant, you do indeed get a figure that showing that over 94 percent of pregnant women who go to Planned Parenthood get an abortion.

and

In fact, the stat that only three percent of Planned Parenthood's services are abortion is so misleading, that the editorial board of USA Today has decided it's not credible and they won't use it for the exact same reasoning PunditFact lays out here.

"Some critics have taken issue with Planned Parenthood’s measurement of "services." Performing an abortion is more involved than administering pregnancy tests or giving someone a contraception kit, for example. The share of abortions might be different if cost or hours of services were used. (However, that information is not in the 2013-14 annual report.)"
