somehow the OP seems to think a story about bad things for PP is going to upset folk?
i think most people know PP is a very bad organization. by bad i mean evil.
I am for organizations providing good health services to women... especially to those with too few funds to provide for themselves. I am not for an abortion mill passing itself off as such an organization.
Planned Parenthood is sickening. All this move proved is that they care more about murdering the unborn than providing other healthcare to women in need. Indeed, even under this rule (had they accepted funds), Planned Parenthood would still be able to perform abortions; they just wouldn't be able to "refer" women for abortions. But everybody knows that Planned Parenthood performs abortions and this rule wouldn't change that.
But this is good news. I'm hopeful that other organizations that don't support murder on demand will step up and apply for the funds that Planned Parenthood is leaving on the table
IF this is true, then why do so many Planned Parenthoods not offer abortion?
Imagine having a doctor being blocked from providing medical options to a patient, this reminds me of behavior in some 3rd world countries with religious fanatics. I assume this funding cut will impact many low income women but I don't think the GOP really cares.
They do care. And they care a lot. and the LIKE it. It is a fact that women of means will always have access to safe abortions. Or women attached to men of means. Illegalizing abortion does not stop abortion. It merely denies access to safe abortions to poor women. And the GOP LIKES that.
What proportion of their clinics don't offer abortions or refer to other PP's for abortions?
I can tell you that, in the Philadelphia metro, two locations offer abortions out of nine. In the Pittsburgh metro, one out of six locations offers abortions.
If abortion is such big business for Planned Parenthood, then why do so many of their clinics not offer abortion?
It's a matter of logistics IIRC.
