Fact-Check: Snopes Gets Facts Wrong While Defending Planned Parenthood

Mythbusting website Snopes got the facts wrong while attempting to fact-check recent claims that Planned Parenthood rewards employees for hitting abortion quotas.

Pro-life advocacy group Live Action posted an interview with two former Planned Parenthood employees about whether the organization has quotas for abortions, which make up a significant share of Planned Parenthood’s non-government revenue.

One former employee, Sue Thayer, said that every Planned Parenthood center has an abortion “goal,” and that employees were rewarded with incentives for meeting abortion goals. Thayer said no such incentives exist for Planned Parenthood’s non-abortion services.

A second former employee, Marienne Anderson, corroborated Thayer’s account, saying that she was regularly told “You have a quota to meet to keep this clinic open.”

They say government money does not go to abortions, but it does got to abortions. It doesn't matter how much their accountants change the line items.

Snopes was also started by librarians, who are mostly notoriously liberal. They present themselves as impartial, but that is hardly the case. Just more fake news.

Snopes was good for scams and internet hoaxes.. but on political issues they do show a bias.
