Try reading the thread.
PP doesn't use tax dollars for abortion.
People like me donate to pay for those services.

Don't your wars kill more people.

Another right to lifer - until birth.
Your post tells me you are not an American since you claim"your wars" whether you agreed or disagreed if you are an American it is all of our wars, unless you wan to claim the soldiers in that war are not your soldiers.
So just like a left wing nut job kill the babies and do not give a darn about their lives

Also there is not connection to the more you fund something the less careful people are.
They found that in Norway, too.
There was a drastic reduction of abortion services when there was a greater emphasis on education and prevention.

Also they focus on testing for STDs and providing treatment, cancer screening and treatment, as well as other women's health services.
Here we go. Just as I thought, PP's main function is still birth control pills and condoms. I was also just reminded that my niece had her pregnancy confirmed at PP. She was sent home with a pic, vitamins and info on choosing a high risk OGBYN (she just had her twins). With all due respect, some of you folks don't know what the heck you are talking about.

PS - I was trying to quote the chart on post 130, it didn't come through, but you can see it there. 35% contraception.

It's a challenge because I have to write them and send a check.
They don't have a write in for selecting abortion services or screen names.
I asked them to change their options.

I 100% agree, I think we do a poor job in this country educating and preventing. Often times we let religion get in the way of that.

I once gave a friend a ride to PP for a check up to make sure something she had wasn't cancerous and she had no healthcare because she had a small start up business and couldn't afford health insurance due to a pre-existing condition she had which make healthcare too expensive for her. It turned out to be nothing but still, thankfully there are things like PP.

What's wrong with private funding? If you support abortion - feel free to donate.

LOL you really think you get to pick where your tax dollars go? get real. lots of folks don't support the wars we engage in, many folks don't have kids or the kids are past school age and still have to support the schools.

I'm supposing English isn't your first language and that you didn't score well on the English comprehension exam.

So 334,000 abortion services that factor about 3-4% of yearly health services provided. I do believe the stats are contrived to keep the pie chart less obvious, but meh.

On to more pressing concerns: who would care for those 334,000 children and at what cost, personal & financial?
