[edit] Bias

Why is this article basically summarizing the POV of Planned Parenthood and its advocates instead of skeptically scrutinizing both sides? I made some changes, but I think an overhaul to a more balanced, (and more importantly) more honest and correct version rather than a liberal answer to conservapedia would be preferable. Hitler opposed abortion in Aryans because he wanted more Aryan babies he didn't oppose abortion as a matter of course; he actually forced it in certain non-Aryans, esp. Jews, so to say "Hitler was virulently opposed to abortion" as it did before my edit was blatantly false and just spreading ignorance in the opposite direction. The 3% of services being abortion is technically true, but misleading in that the count equates things like handing out a pregnancy test, something that could be done in literally 30 seconds on a trip to grocery store by the patients themselves to surgical procedures like an abortion: both count as 1 service. If a heart surgeon hands out 97 heart attack/stroke warning signs informational cards for every procedure he/she performs, that still doesn't mean card distribution is the most noteworthy aspect of the business, regardless of the # of "services" rendered. Yes, Kyl was wrong, but doesn't make minimizing Planned Parenthood's role as an abortion provider a more accurate tact. There are far more abortions than treatment of men for example, despite the latter getting its own section. Fiftyseven57 (talk) 23:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Hitler has exactly nothing to do with Planned Parenthood, so an analysis of whether he was pro- or anti-abortion isn't appropriate for this article. WēāŝēīōīďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 12:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
