How ridiculous is this? Chairman of the oversight committee Chaffetz used this today in the Planned Parenthood hearing. I was streaming this on cspan and I couldn't make out the numbers, it just looked like PP performed more abortions then cancer screenings now.
Here is the clip:
Here is a more accurate graph from this article:
It seems like Chaffetz is lying too. He says he pulled these numbers right from PP corp reports but he is just using a graph from some anti-abortion group.
Google it, I have nothing more to add. She told the rep his numbers were wrong, he told her they came from her report. The lawyer whispered in her ear where the numbers really came from and she called him on it for all to see he was wrong.
A chart manipulated to convey data in an ideological way? Gasp. Are you new to politics? It's not like the numbers are inaccurate, nor the underlying proposition: abortions are up, and other services are down.

Isn't that logical? If you abort in week 10, you don't need your life saved in week 20 because you already took care of the problem.
I don't know. I haven't paid much attention at all to this issue, I didn't watch the proceedings today, I don't really have a strong position on the abortion issue...I just thought that the level of outrage against this silly graph was sort of funny considering how much this sort of thing goes on all the time (and since the actual underlying data and contention was not actually inaccurate). What it all means in the grand scheme of things, I don't really know.

Sure, the first chart was a bold manipulation, but if the numbers are correct, PP does less than half of the non-abortion services than the did 10 years ago - the services they say government funding goes to. If the numbers are correct, they obviously don't need as much funding and I assume people can easily find the services elsewhere. Again, if the numbers are correct, abortions now constitute 25% of their function as opposed to 10%.
I am basically pro-choice. I don't think Roe should be repealed (although I think the reasoning behind it was beyond flawed).
Oh, look at you getting all angry. Blunt truth isn't for everyone Slieb. The other side could always just back off and get to those world issues you speak of btw. Your party seems to ignore those issues most of the time though.
Doesn't she remind you of Claire Underwood on House of Cards?
Dishonest charts are used all the time. We ended up with ObamaCare through the use of a plethora of dishonest charts, and assertions, and reports. Just about everything that gets debated on the hill has a collection of junk like that chart accompanying it. This is absolutely nothing new...it is just another day in DC.
You have the anger of a lib, and I suspect that you need a hiatus yourself. That constitutional right by the way, is forcing people to pay for baby yanking, despite what their personal beliefs are in considering that topic.
