"If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does."

Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) over funding for Planned Parenthood.

In actuality, 16% of what “Planned Parenthood does” is cancer screening, 35% is providing contraception, and only 3% are abortions. They also provide testing and treatment for STDs, pregnancy tests, adoption referrals, prenatal care, and provide an affordable option for a whole host of women’s health services. In any case, federal money does not fund abortion procedures by law.

 His office later told CNN that Kyl’s speech to the United States Congress “was not intended to be a factual statement”.  (via theshitpoliticianssay)
