Sex is a raw instinct. It's not really like choosing whether to invest in stocks or bonds.
"Sex is a raw instinct"
So, if you are a man, you see a beautiful woman walking down the street you can sexually attack her or pull out your wang and start masturbating right the on the street and when in court say to the judge "Sex is a raw instinct" and I couldn't control myself.
See how far THAT gets you!
Eating is a "raw instinct", so when you are walking through the grocery store you can grab any piece of food you see and stat eating it and walk out the store without paying for it.
We have a LOT of "raw instincts" which we control. we are NOT wold animals.
Sane Mature adults CAN control their "raw instincts" which puts us apart from the rest of the animals in the world.

And she is taking responsibility when she has an abortion. She is deciding what is best for herself and for her family.
And there are plenty of posters right on this forum who want to punish women.
It's interesting that when a woman chooses to have sex, she is "sticking her hand in the fire", but when a man chooses to have sex, it's still the woman's responsibility to deal with the consequences.
"And she is taking responsibility when she has an abortion."
Your opinion which millions disagree with.
However, today abortion is legal an she can have one.
She should be "responsible" and pay for it herself.
The rest of us should NOT have to pay for her pleasures.
" but when a man chooses to have sex, it's still the woman's responsibility to deal with the consequences."
Wrong. The man should be responsible only in a different way.
Mother Nature made them do it, as has been the case since sexual reproduction came into existence. Republicans and especially their fringe elements of conservatism and fundamentalism, are the sworn enemies of Mother Nature, in all her many manifestations. They promote destructive activities that exploit her resources and pollute her environment, for their own, short-term profits. They condemn anything connected with sex as being sinful.
Their shallow complaints about having to provide money for birth-control of all types, are just a smoke-screen to cover their true wishes to repress sex. Their attitudes belong back in the 19th Century, when the Victorian version of morality reared its ugly head, with their kind perpetuating it today. I've seen and suffered this at its perverse and stifling worst, as both my parents came from hardcore Victorian families. It should be no surprise that they were republicans.

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.
I wouldn't call some of those cities in Idaho urban, they seem to be a suburban/ rural. Many of these areas have few choices and there is no indication that other facilities even if they are in proximity can handle the workload.
If they are redundant then you should be able to produce a study, I didn't hear that point brought up in any debate. There are no facts to support your opinion, pulling the plug on a health organization that supports 60% of the low income families will be a significant impact. The congressmen that approved this bill don't give a rats rear end about these people living at the low end, they just want to see PP defunded.
Why don't you make this suggestion to your state? This is about freedom of choice for states.
Don't know why BO's signature legislation hasn't gotten rid of family planning clinics anyways, what's the need when we all have insurance and can see our doctors regularly now that it's soooo affordable.
This is about Freedom of Choice so why are they on a mission to close PP, wouldn't that be in opposition to your statement since these people chose PP on their own. Seems to me these legislators are making the choice for them.

Maybe you don't but the Fed Gov does.
The problem with PP facilities is that they only exist in areas in which Family Planning/Women's Health Clinics already exist. As such, they're redundant, unnecessary, and siphon tax dollars from the Public Health Department Family Planning Clinics. If PP facilities were located in areas in which there is no overlap, a case might be made for their necessity. But they're not. PPs are located in areas that overlap already existing taxpayer-funded services and unnecessarily compete for taxpayer funding.

The current legislation does not deal with closing PP. It deals with individual states rights to decide whether or not they wish to use their money to fund this organization. If PP is unable to function without subsidy perhaps it should re-examine how it conducts its operations.

Planned Parethood bills Medicaid for services provided, just like your doctor. Think about that in light of the bold. Also, are these states going to monitor every doctor's office that bills, to make sure they don't provide abortions?
Seriously? African-American and Latina women are indeed targeted by PP, not low-income rural Whites.
Quote:
"An African-American woman is almost five times likelier to have an abortion than a white woman, and a Latina more than twice as likely, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
