About This Quote

In a speech given by Senator John Kyle on October 28, 2007, he stated that "over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion." This absurd statement was made in the context of discussing the recent budget cuts to Planned Parenthood. Kyle did not cite his source for the statement, but did say that he had talked to Planned Parenthood officials, who confirmed this number. This indicates that Kyle simply made up the figure out of thin air. As it turns out, only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services are abortions. This means that Kyle's claim is totally bogus.
