You were talking about people adopting infants. I just responded to your post

If you want to kill an unborn baby, you can since it's legal. But why do you think people who don't want to kill these babies should have to help fund the institutions that do it?
The one line in bold destroys your entire argument, but further more, you do not fund the abortions that planned parenthood provides.

If you are truly arguing that your tax dollars should not go to any organization that provides the service, then you should be reminded that Hospitals do indeed perform abortions, and Medicaid pays for many of them.

Regardless of how you feel about abortion(im personally against it by the way), your argument isnt based in reality.

As you said, abortion is legal and your argument seems to hinge on whether or not you can pay for abortion on your own.

Two or three wrongs don't make a right. If abortion is done at a hospital, then so be it. At least in a hospital isn't an abortion mill.

And my money does go to fund abortions at Planned Parenthood. Just because they put the numbers in a different column doesn't mean that it doesn't.

And why does Planned Parenthood need taxpayer money? Especially now since their services are available elsewhere?

I think you should educate yourself more and stop listening to whatever you are listening to. PP is not an abortion mill. Did you know hospitals cost so much more for abortions because they can.

I have a friend that is a nurse at PP. I know what other things they do.

There's a lot of services that they say they do, but are mainly just referrals to other places.

But abortion is a big part of who they are and what they promote.

Except your local hospital probably performs more abortions in a month than your local planned parenthood does in a year.

Actually it does.If government stop funding planned parenthood today, the money they use for abortions would still be there.

Because elsewhere could be 100 miles away.

No it is not. Your friend who works there(if she existed) did not tell you that either.

What do most people think of when they hear "Planned Parenthood"?

You are arguing the fallacy of perception over reality, and im not a 5 year old who is going to fall for that.

You made the claim that PP promoted abortion over all the other services, so how about you show proof of that and back up your claim.
