Cut 73M from funding to birth control, screenings, and family planning services for women b/c something something abortions... Spend 4x as much to deal w/ surge in unplanned pregnancies...
Really? Planned Parenthood is involved and no Republicans have an opinion?
Your post was just yet another "let's all bash conservatives" thing. You made no argument.
Conservatives never said there wouldn't be unplanned pregnancies in the first place so we're not "nearsighted" for not seeing it.
You're just using tiresome old liberal tactics. Oppose an Obama policy, liberal says you hate Obama. Oppose Obamacare as unconstitutional, liberal says you want sick children to get no medical care. Oppose free birth control, liberal says you hate women. It goes on and on. You're just here doing it again.
Always with the strawman arguments. Many liberals live and breathe by saying Republicans want X, and then bashing X. When Republicans themselves never claimed to want X in the first place.
Now not only do you present a strawman argument, but you say "no Republicans have an opinion?" as if it somehow becomes my responsibility to defend your strawman words that you put into my mouth?
I oppose abortion, not birth control. Planned Parenthood receives more than enough funding to provide birth control. It's not my fault that Planned Parenthood doesn't allocate their funds properly. It's not my job to fund their activities that I don't support in order to let them conduct activities that I do support. They have enough money to do the things that I support them doing. If they choose to allocate that money to doing something else, that's on them not me.

Well obviously PP does not have the $ to do what you support them doing since there was a surge in the birthrates, just like everyone w/ common sense said there would be. And b/c they closed ~50 facilities around TX. And b/c abortions are a fraction of PP's expenditures so cutting their funding by 2/3 is invariably going to hit them where they are doing the things you support them doing.
The PP controversy was a political hatchet job by Conservatives. There was no merit to their logic, and its evidenced by the results of their actions, and the fix their trying to implement: ADDING 100M to the budget that shouldn't have been cut in the first place.
complaining about republican cuts to fund abortion at a time when the President successfully expanded funding to Planned Parenthood by hundreds of millions of dollars?
