PP is just a front for abortion, they offer other services so they can launder money towards abortion.

I rather have my tax money go towards welfare feeding innocent kids than killing them.
Yet that is a tiny percentage of what they actually do. I think I will stick to facts over your personal opinions.

Hmmm.....doesn't sound like you are very fond of practicing safe sex. In fact, doesn't sound like you know your sexual partners very well. Wonder if any of them would have aborted if you had made them pregnant.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people like you.......if there weren't......quite a few abortions could be avoided.

BTW.....I just don't believe you wouldn't have a problem with your taxes being raised if abortion were ever banned. Ya know, paying the price for other's sexual exploits and all. LOL

No it's not a tiny fraction of what they do. It's basically all they do. If they're not doing the actual aborting, they're confirming the pregnancy, and counseling the woman on actually doing the abortion. The other services they provide is giving out contraception which can be gotten many other places. I knew a girl who despite being from a rich family, would go to PP for her birth control pills because they allowed her to claim as needy and not file on her father's insurance. Then there are those STD tests I'm talking about which are expensive and most people don't use PP for. If the government wants to be in the business of providing cheap contraception and STD tests, PP has failed them big time and they can switch to other vendors for those.

I don't know if there necessarily would be a raise, but if there was a raise I'd be 100% ok with it. Our biggest expenses are all these foreign wars and pork spending whereas welfare of the citizens make up a tiny portion of the budget. And however you feel about giving welfare to an adult who may or may not be irresponsible, you should always feel good about giving welfare to a kid.

This didn't happen in this country, but when I was back in Chechnya, I was visiting the graves of some the men in my family who died during the wars. We brought some stale old bread, cakes and other items to place on the grave (a pagan tradition still practiced despite Islam where it's believed the dead will come back and eat-no one really believes it though) and despite the freezing conditions two young kids were eyeing the moldy bread, they probably chose to live in the graveyard because this tradition kept them fed. They had no mother, no father. Probably killed in the war. And after we were done, they asked if they could take the food. We said yes. So the tradition didn't get very far but I don't want to live in a country where kids starve. Especially in a wealthy country like America, there is no excuse for kids starving. I'm fine with my tax dollars going there, I'm not fine with my tax dollars going to some woman who wants to abort her kids.

Though I'm thinking a donation to Planned Parenthood in honor of his participation in this thread might be appropriate.
Great idea.
Ca-ching!
If you're so inclined, you can earmark the donation for abortion services.

When you have nothing else, you do what you do.

Yeah your post is false with nothing to back it up. I will stick to the facts over your personal opinions.

Do you say that to everyone who donated money to groups they support? It is clear you have a personal hatred for PP that goes beyond what you have said in any of your post and i think that hatred is clouding your judgement.
