A popular meme sold by Planned Parenthood is that ONLY 3% of its services are abortions. Of course as with all evil, they are misrepresenting their numbers and it is being bought by the less informed. When Planned Parenthood touts this number it is merely counting up an individual interaction. For example if a young lady walks into Planned Parenthood and gets an HIV test and a pack of birth control pills, that counts as TWO services. So naturally when you count all of those other services, it increases the denominator and makes the percentage look smaller.
But, when you look at what really counts and that is CASH, you can see that abortion is what drives the ship at Planned Parenthood. I really hope this source is satisfactory.

Here are Planned Parenthood's revenue sources. This is from Planned Parenthood's 2015 Annual Report
1) $553.7 million from taxpayers
2) $218.5 million from private donations
3) $309.2 million in clinic income
4) $65.2 million in other operating income
Now, Planned Parenthood doesn't call out specifically how much revenue they get from abortion, but a little simple math can get us there.
On page 30 of their annual report, they claim they performed 323,999 abortions.
According to Media Matters, the average cost of an abortion was $500 in 2009. Let's assume for the sake of argument that the cost of an abortion hasn't gone up in seven years.

That would mean that Planned Parenthood brings in $161,999,500 for performing abortions.
Now all we have to do is simply divide $161 million by $309 million and you can see from operations, abortion accounts for 52% of Planned Parenthoods revenues. Now you know why they fight so hard. This is a money maker for them. Don't let them lie to you about the whole 3% number.
Now some will say that I am not being honest in my math and that I should divide the $162 million by their total revenue and when you do that, you only get 15% of their revenues from abortion. However, revenue from operations is what really counts. Government welfare and donations are not operating revenue.
