Planned Parenthood is an abortion king. They perform more abortions than anything or anyone else. That might have triggered John Kyl to say “ 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is abortions.” Statements similar to these are important because it isn’t a passable offense when elected officials would lie to Americans.
