Craig Bannister devoted a Feb. 13 CNSNews.com blog post to bashing singer Katy Perry for wearing a Planned Parenthood lapel pin during her appearance at the Grammy Awards. In his brief three-paragraph post, Bannister somehow managed to call Planned Parenthood an “abortion provider” twice and an “abortion mill” once.
In fact, a relatively small percentage of Planned Parenthood’s services involve abortion — somewhere between 12 and 37 percent, depending on how the numbers are being counted.
Bannister is not just being misleading, he’s pushing an inaccurate right-wing agenda by labeling Planned Parenthood as only as an abortion provider — and, pejoratively, as an “abortion mill.”
