Yes but they "do" sanctimonious and outraged so much better.

If such a thing would pass through congress, unplanned pregnancys would skyrocket and hundreds of thousands of children would be born into poverty.

Republicans seem to support laws that would result in more children being born into poverty, and oppose social safety nets for those same children.

Are you telling me PP is 100% government funded and would close their doors and abortions would cease to exist ?

Really ?

1/3 of PP money is from federal grants and CANNOT be used for abortion.
Let the big $$$$ already donating to PP just cover that gap.

"Large donors also contribute a substantial portion of the organization's budget; donors have included the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Buffett Foundation, Ford Foundation, Ted Turner Foundation, the Cullmans and others."

Bills should be submitted to strip ALL federal monies from ALL faith-based operations regardless of the nature of the work they are being funded to do, because...they "should all be privately funded, just like PP and NPR."

Go back to the linked PP financial statement from 2008 in and use that for your basis of arguement to back up your claims please.

Repeating a lie that PP would cease to exist without federal funding does not make it so. Is fear-mongering the only defense from the pro-abortionists?

As others have pointed out, PP wouldn't be stripped of all funding. If you're so concerned about it, push to educate people about the risks of sex and donate to causes, including PP, that will educate and cover those who need assistance.

But, when a teenager has an unplanned pregnancy........you are going to pay for it.

Teenagers cannot support a child on their own without help......so they go on Welfare......and you WILL PAY FOR IT.

We don't have children in America covered with flies and begging for food in the streets, not yet anyway. Take away funded BC, ban abortion and cut social programs and we will.

Exactly. We already pay a price for their irresponsibility. Perhaps anti-abortionists would rather do that than pay for an abortion.

Hyperbole. Just because the House cuts PP funding, suddenly we're going to turn into a third world country? Come on.
