"Abortion care" is less than 8% of what people go to Planned Parenthood for ... Abortion may be polarizing but to take a minority focus of Planned Parenthood and claim Planned Parenthood is polarizing because of it is silly.

  That's one way to frame it! The alternative: Planned Parenthood provides the majority of abortions in the US. The Washington Post has a good explainer on this.

    Yeah yeah we get it, republicans hate planned parenthood. What everyone in these replies is trying to tell you, is that this DOESN'T mean democrats/the left/however you want to group {everyone else}, gives a crap about the details of that specific organization / who runs it, even if they are pro-choice in ideology. And your constant choice of saying "but the left!" is problematic at its core.

      How is that your takeaway from the balanced fact check article? It says both sides are wrong. As an enlightened liberal, you clearly know better! Good day, friend.

You're not doing much in these responses to demonstrate comprehension of my points so maybe it's gg. > If you can't see that abortion is polarized along partisan lines, we live on different planets. I didn't dispute this very basic fact. But again, this wasn't what my comments were about.
