It's like you're being hostile against a hospital because you disapprove of plastic surgery.

No, it's like insisting on patronizing the one hospital that performs unethical experiments on minorities
I have multiple female friends who have gone to planned parenthood for a myriad of things besides abortions.

Then let them go somewhere that doesn't chop of babies.

Also, that list of other services is disingenuous, like asserting that since the soda machine in a car dealership dispenses more cans of soda in one day than the dealership sells cars, that the business in question is primarily a soda shop, with automotive business just a minor sideline.

But even if abortion was literally and legitimately a minor part of their business, again, so what? Would you take the same blase attitude about anyone else with a single offensive aspect of their characterization? Racism is only a tiny aspect of Mel Gibson's personality, with many close personal acquaintances insisting he isn't racist at all, including a couple of black costars, but he's still a pariah who can't hardly get work in Hollywood. Donald Sterling made massive and substantial contributions to the well-being of the black community, receiving multiple awards for his generosity, but because he was taped asking his girlfriend not to publicly date black men, he's a racist who had his property confiscated because of that. How many mafiosi were hard-working men who loved their families and were devotedly loyal to them, but were still locked away for life because of the technical legal conditions under which they whacked fellow criminals. It takes minutes to murder a human being, as opposed to the hours, days and years of the rest of your life, but when you commit a murder, it does not matter what you do with the rest of your life, you are defined by those handful of minutes.
