snopes used a pie chart the wash post gave three pinocchios to, what do we have a battle of the fact checkers?For some unbeknownst reason, Snopes felt it necessary to label an article out of the satirical site Babylon Bee as “False,” as if people clicking on their articles could not decipher that for themselves.
The hilarious piece, titled “Planned Parenthood Defends Bill Cosby: ‘Sexual Assault Is Only 3% Of What He Does,’” brilliantly satirizes Planned Parenthood’s oft-repeated talking point that abortion is only 3% of their services.
The supposedly unbiased site goes an extra step further by providing a Planned Parenthood pie chart of their purported 2016 division of services. LifeNews notes that Snopes failed to mention that the “Washington Post Fact Checker gave that statistic ‘Three Pinocchios.’”
most have access to other facilities where they can get the needed servicesWhat happens to these women when they dont have access to these services.
According to the Congressional Research Service, nearly two-thirds of U.S. counties have a federally qualified health center and 13 percent have a Planned Parenthood clinic, and 12 percent of all counties have both. (wash post)
how do you know that it is only 3% of its business?planned parenthood only has 3% of the business in abortions.
the 3% is a manipulated number.While each service is listed separately, many clients received multiple services. A woman may get a pregnancy test, birth control and a pap smear, but she would be counted three times, once for each service, in the annual report.
we don’t know how many pregnant women Planned Parenthood serves every year or how many they refer to private providers for prenatal care, because the organization does not report that information.
It is. That is why it shouldn’t be trusted to people who kill for a living.Womens healthcare is real.
Anyone who’s ever worked in an FQHC knows this is nonsense.most have access to other facilities where they can get the needed services
I doubt the babies who were brutally killed would agree with that assessment.I have seen planned parenthood clinics do so much good.
So, they should only point out the truth about conservative organizations. Gotcha.snopes is showing its bias
It’s based on how medical coding is done. Every procedure done gets coded and recorded. If you had an STDs test and then received treatment that is 2 procedures.how do you know that it is only 3% of its business?
Having worked on software that among other things had to work with ICD coding I disagree. I do think this method of counting probably doesnt align with how the general public might think it would work. But it’s a standard way of counting. With additional info I think an average person could understand it.the 3% is a manipulated number.
From reading the comments in this thread one would think that Snoped didn’t recognize the source as a satirical site. But from reading the article on Post they plainly state it is satirical. I get this was made for other people that do not recognize the source as satire and entertainment.Did Planned Parenthood Defend Bill Cosby?

The Babylon Bee is an entertainment web site with long history of publishing satirical articles. In this case, the web site appears to be spoofing an often-quoted statistic about the nonprofit organization; although many people may equate it with abortion, Planned Parenthood’s annual report states that these procedures only make up 3 percent of the medical services that they provide

Other satirical articles put out by the Babylon Bee include stories that playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving is now a federal crime; the California Christians must now register Bibles as assault weapons; and that during Hurricane Harvey, televangelist Joel Osteen sailed his luxury yacht through Houston handing out copies of his book.
