Obamacare mandated everyone have insurance so women can go see their regular doctor that they have been mandated to have.
Good point ..... why do we need Planned Parenthood at all? With the wonderful ACA everyone should have insurance and should be able to see their doctors to get these all-important mammograms, cancer screenings and all this stuff that PP allegedly does.
if they can't provide? should we have a minimum salary for people who have kids? what about insurance for when you lose your job or get seriously ill?
we all "should" have the right to keep our money, but we do not get a choice where our tax dollars go for the most part. wondering just how much of "your" money is given to people who are a burden?
All of your "examples" is why we have a choice in who we vote for.
You vote for those that support YOUR interests and i vote for mine.
The poorest, reddest states will use the abortion monster to keep PP clinics from staying open and providing gynecological services and mammograms to poor women.
If only there was a MUCH LARGER group of such medical practices that provide those services to women... Oh yeah, there already IS! Taxpayer-funded Public Health Department Clinics located throughout the US:
Of course people are advocating for the removal of Planned Parenthood.
They want it gone! And if they cannot outlaw it, then defunding it is the next best thing.
Planned Parenthood isn't a burden. It's a nationwide system of clinics that provides much needed health services to the poor. By providing those services, they actually reduce the number of people trying to use other healthcare service providers, and the services they supply reduce the number of people seeking abortions, or suffering from and spreading STD's. But it's not like the holier-than-thous care about such things.
Absolutely correct.
Pence has a poor track record when dealing with real health care problems.
Are you saying the federal government should force a business to operate? Should I request a Lamborghini dealership as well? How about a steel mill? What other businesses do you think the federal government should force? And how do you think the federal government should force a business to be, well, in business?
If there is a demand for services, there will be a supply, this is basic economics.
I am still wondering how this restricts your freedom of choice. No one is stopping you from getting an abortion. If there is not a business offering this service, then the demand just is not there, and you will have to travel for the service, just as everyone does with other services.
I knew someone who had to travel over a 1000 miles for cancer treatment, and do this every six weeks for five rounds. No hospital in the area offered such specialized service. So I guess according to your logic, the government should have forced a business to operate at a loss due to a lack of demand? Or is your logic that abortion clinics should be everywhere like 7/11s are?
I'm saying that Planned Parenthood provides many services besides abortion to our nation's poor. I'm saying that they have an established network of clinics. I'm saying that it's irrational to want to shut down Planned Parenthood in light of all the good they do.
No need for the melodrama. At present we are giving individual states freedom of choice as to whether or not they fund the single largest abortion provider in the US.
For a bunch of folks who claim to be in favor of choice there sure seems to be a lot of resentment.
There is every need for it to be said again and again and again. EVERY argument against abortion is based on the proposition that women seeking abortions are stupid, irresponsible or immoral. EVERY single argument.
The states, local governments, and donations can cover the cost. If this is so important, then there should be no lack of support from these entities, and they should be able to provide even better support since it will be in their own communities.
There should be no lack of support, but of course, we know the holier-than-thous control some states, local governments and charities, and they want to punish women for having sex.
