The WaPo could have done better, though. Saying that Planned Parenthood is "one of the nation’s largest providers of abortions and other women’s health services" pretty much has it backwards. They are one of the nation's largest providers of women's health care services, THREE PERCENT OF WHICH ARE ABORTIONS.
