The Republicans proposed a very sane solution, defund abortion clinics. Planned Parenthood can have women's healthcare clinics seperate from clinics that do abortions. What would be their motive for opposing this


Only one reason. They are more interested in abortions than any woman's health.

Please prove that deliniation of funds via PP's financial statement.

After all, if you listen to some of the posters on CD, they're only whores who deserve whatever horrors might befall them.
Here's a thought: Don't have sex.

Weird, because when I was having issues and went to PP to have my yearly exam (I had no insurance at the time) I was not drinking OR smoking...and they found precancerous cells on my cervix. With treatment, I'm healthy (I have insurance now) and without PP, I might have full blown cancer right now.

I donate yearly to PP because of that.

Bullseye. Abortions bring in the money to PP; which, they can continue to do sans government funding.

You really aren't making such a stupid statement, are you?
No, I'm not. "Every poor woman"? Try not to stretch my words, thanks.

I'm glad it worked out well for you. If PP would concentrate its efforts on such preventative measures going forward instead of government funded abortions, maybe more women can be helped, not less.

And those things fail. Not even sterilization is 100%.
