re: Planned Parenthood keeps saying 3% of their income is from abortions

Way over your head. You're acting exactly like the kind of guy I'm talking about.

Consider three populations:

1. Men who oppose same-sex marriage and say that abortion is murder committed mostly by the promiscuous.
2. Women who have abortions.
3. Gay men.

It is obvious, as I've observed, that #1 is jealous of #2 and #3 because #1 perceives #2 and #3 as more sexually active (just as we've all envied that friend who can't stop getting laid for the life of him). That's why so many of these petulant men have campaigned for so long, in the name of God, conveniently, for bans on same sex marriage and restrictions on abortion. I'm a man, and I'm wired the same way as you, and I'm just not buying the bullshite. Joe Blow doesn't like that Jane Blow and Bruce Blow get to have more sex than him. Men have been like that since there have been men.

Women and their roles in society have changed immensely since WWII. Obviously these changes will be accompanied by growing pains. You don't think there's a shite ton of men with traditional sexual habits who are uncomfortable living in a world where women everywhere frick everyone except and make more money than their fat bald no-game-for-miles asses?

I'm sure tons of men experience those feelings.

I think there are enough people who abhor abortions due to religious belief/upbringing, or what they perceive as strong morals, or the idea of their taxes funding part of PP and wanting them to go to what they think are better causes, the thought that immature(mentally and physically) girls can get the just as easily as they can go to Disney World, etc...that thinking men hate abortion because they can't get sex is ridiculous.

Sorry for that abortion of a sentence.

If you say that abortion is murder, you're saying that abortion is the worst thing possible. The man who says that abortion is murder and then cites "sexual irresponsibility" or something to that effect in his contribution to the dialogue is reducing his argument to something petty and exposing himself as a fraud. It's akin to going to a woman's funeral and asking her family how many people she'd slept with in her life. If that's where your mind is, you aren't really concerned for someone's life.

You have established a permanent position in left field

You have a massive error in your premise. Planned Parenthood claims that abortions account for only 3% of the services they provide yearly.

---

With that said, what percentage of their revenue comes from abortions?

I don't believe even Cecile Richards would lie that brazenly.

I think their claim is abortions only comprise 3% of their "medical services".

Abortions are obviously the most profitable "medical service" they provide.
Aside from government grants and funding, I believe abortions are their single most significant revenue source.

Great argument. I'll let my moral compass slide and not be concerned about other humans being killed for the sake of convenience because I won't have to do it myself.

By that logic, the women concerned were never aborted so they have no issue either.

PP has a revenue of 1.15 billion in 2015 (WAY below OP's assertion of 5 billion). Of that, the sum of all non-government health services revenue was 305.3 million

Less than 30% of their overall revenue comes from the line item that would include abortion. Even a high water mark given of 260 million places it at approximately 20% of their entire revenue.

Politicians have tried to claim things like "87%" was from abortion.

Government revenue was around 528 million. This incorporates things like Medicare reimbursement. By law, these funds cannot be used for abortions.

Private contributions were around 390 million. You have the option of earmarking your contributions to NOT pay for abortions (like the Bill and Melinda Gates' Foundation does)

78 million came from operating revenue

It is impossible to know the exact amount of revenue that comes from abortion because the cost varies from state to state.
