They provide a service, women use them for a reason. Now you're just making up that they are redundant and can be easily replaced, that is not true at all. Many rural areas do not have any overlap and even if they are located in the vicinity the other clinics are not prepared to handle the workload.


PP provides family planning and health services to around 65% of these low income recipients, that number is in the millions, you've been on too many pro-life websites it you believe they can be replaced. Show me a study that was proves your point, these congressmen that voted to defund should have a report, I mean they wouldn't have passed this bill without having a factual study in hand?? Did you happen to notice the bill was passed with practically no debate, now why would that be?

I don't think you understand the ACA. Medicaid expansion is part of it.

Very few red states bought into the Medicaid expansion.

Where are the rural PPs?

States' rights is code for "red states will screw it up."

You know the Democrats created the Confederacy, don't you?

I did. PPs aren't located in rural areas. They're located in urbanized areas or urban clusters (Fed Gov definitions), EXACTLY where many more times the number of taxpayer-funded Family Planning Clinics already exist.

PP is redundant and unnecessary.

I do want them to have the opportunity.

You guys act like no one has ever made a quality life out of tough life circumstances.

It's all doom and gloom because your pet issue has been knocked down a peg and will need to find some other funding. Welcome to the real world.

The federal government does not pay Planned Parenthood for abortions. You apparently want to kill Planned Parenthood because they provide abortions without a thought or care about who, if anyone, will provide the non-abortion services that P/P currently provides.

What threshold are you speaking of?

The ACA mandates people to have insurance.

They did. Those Democrats also were the great great great grandfathers of a large part of the base of the current Republican Party in the South.

Party labels change, but the South remains as resistant to change as ever.
