I don't know why all abortion workers don't turn pro-life with what they witness.
In reality, she was just a disgruntled employee cited for poor job performance, who wanted to get back with exaggerated or outright false claims made against Planned Parenthood. The protesters outside PP assured her they could offer her another job.

Exactly. Using federal funds for abortions is illegal. If federal funds are used to pay for staffing, overhead, operating expenses, supplies, etc., at PP facilities that provide abortions, that's illegal.

This IS actually the Fed Gov's prerogative. PP can still receive Title X funding at their facilities which do not provide abortions.

Only if you don't consider staffing, overhead (e.g., facility rent or mortgage, etc.), supplies, water, electricity, etc., etc. resources needed to perform abortions.

There is no way to disaggregate the funding 100% other than to limit federal funding to facilities which do not perform abortions.

the US is not a theocracy.

it's amusing that the very people who are against abortion are the same people who cling to their second amendment rights, even though children are being MURDERED by guns on a regular basis.

deplorable!

Birth control is available for free. Why isn't she using it? A pregnancy test and morning after pill are both available OTC at the pharmacy for under $50.

Who is going to support these unborn?
The fathers. Same that is done when a divorce occurs and the mother cannot support the child(ren) on her own.

Interesting fact regarding that... Illinois tried to do something about the problem. A woman couldn't get public assistance for herself and her child(ren) unless a father was named on the child(ren)'s birth certificate. Why? The state wanted to go after the father for child support, first, before shelling out even more taxpayer $$$$ for public assistance. Naturally, being a Dem state, that bill never even made it to a vote.

PP doesn't perform mammograms...
Your entire post is inaccurate.

Congratulations!

Two words: INDEPENDENT AUDIT

Ah, but there is. It's called an independent audit. All nonprofit organizations subject themselves to them. The independent audit is on top of whatever auditing Medicaid and Title X require.

PP doesn't perform mammograms...
https://www.factcheck.org/2012/10/pl...nd-mammograms/

IF they wanted, they could provide every other service, like std screenings, birth control, pap smears,prenatal care and not abortions and have the govt fund them...if they thought those services were important. They don't think they are that important...abortions allow them to sell baby parts, and make a profit...have you seen their payroll of their execs???
Or their campaign donations. During the 2016 election, PP (650 facilities, nationwide) spent over $4 million on political donations. Meanwhile, Public Health Department Family Planning Clinics (over 14,000 located nationwide) don't donate to political parties/campaigns. All their Title X funding actually goes to providing contraceptives and health care to girls and women.

And all of Planned Parenthood's Title X finding goes toward family planning services as well.

I suggest you learn to read an audit before you embarrass yourself any further.

And don't forget that Planned Parenthood is included in those 14,000 publicly funded (NOT "Public Health Department" - most of them are private nonprofit organizations) family planning clinics you mentioned ...
