[i][b]Plus don't you think it is odd that in order to promote democracy in IRAQ, we have to assist Pakistan while it's running a military dictatorship all when while Bin Liden was hiding in that country.

Yes absolutely , I do, much if not most of our aid to other countries should be stopped, especially if they are the least bit hostile, antagonistic or defiant.
Anything that PP does should be paid for by the women using their services. If democrats think it is a worthwhile organization I am sure they will increase their donations to offset the loss of tax dollars. The same with PBS, NEA, NEH, etc.
Whether you agree with a war or disagree with a war, IT IS the role of government.

"My test is pretty simple. Is the program so critical that it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for? And on that basis, of course you get rid of Obamacare. That's the easy one. But there are others. Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that. There's a subsidy for Amtrak. I would eliminate that.
The Amtrak thing is a sly knock at Santorum who as Senator voted to allow gas tax revenues to be used to subsidize Amtrak and sponsored an amendment to increase Amtrak funds by $550 million.

Oh, OK
As long as men must pay for any treatment they may need for their sex organs, including cancer treatment or any other illness, then fine.
Yup. The GOP's war on women continues.....with Mittens picking up the mantle.
How there are any women still left in the republi-thug party never ceases to amaze me.
Because some women are concerned about the fact that we're spending a bunch of money we don't have and some women are sick of paying for things for other women and for men who have a sense of entitlement. Some women think policies supported by Republicans are better for economy. Some women want lower taxes. Some women are business owners who want less regulations. Hell, some women are actually pretty socially conservative (a lot of women are Santorum supporters because of his social conservatism...I don't see how anyone - male or female - could support Santorum or have such extreme views but, hey, a lot of women and men alike do).
This has nothing to do with any "war on women." Why should the federal government be spending any money on Planned Parenthood when it has to borrow trillions of dollars a year? Newsflash: The country is broke. Cuts HAVE to be made and they're going to hurt. Better to do it before we end up like Greece.
Remember, this is not the only thing Romney has said he would cut. If it was, you might have a point. Also remember that Planned Parenthood does provide some services for men. Romney would cut funding for those as well.

Furthermore, just because someone personally supports Planned Parenthood doesn't necessarily mean they favor requiring taxpayers to fund it nor does it necessarily mean they favor borrowing from China to fund it.

And it's the role of the people (you know, those who government is allegedlyfor?) to pressure government to not get involved in unnecessary, avoidable, unproductive wars of choice.

Are there special government funded clinics like PP?
