Yes, I know that they are alive and human.

For the record, I myself lean politically anti-abortion.

As for why some people think that abortion is okay, well, their views on this issue might be similar to some other people's views on killing (certain) non-human animals despite the fact that these animals are alive.

Well it certainly has absolutely nothing to do with how easy it is to get birth control devices AND knowledge on how to use them, does it?

So when Democrats run around acting like little babies because PP funding should be cut, you are now admitting its ridiculous...

Planned Parenthood is a non-profit and I can think of a whole lot of other non-profits that would love to see "business" dry up completely.

Alcor? The Cryonics Institute? Who else?

As I said before, "non-profit" does not mean "no profit." They have a bottom line to maintain just like any other business.

Also, your assertion is that they'd prefer to never again provide abortion services to women. Considering the ongoing fight to provide abortion access to women, and their vociferous response to claims of using taxpayer dollars to do so, I'd reconcile that you are wrong in every conceivable way.

Planned Parenthood is an advocate of abortion, not an entity that seeks to see it disappear.

By not forcing a woman to give birth to something growing inside her body....sorry, I don't think the government should be governing inside our bodies. Would you want the government to outlaw you masturbating? Doubt it.

These two things aren't comparable, since one's sperm and semen are a part of one's body, whereas embryos and fetuses are not.

I am sure Planned Parenthood would be happy to focus their attention on other needs if women no longer needed abortions because they were all properly planning pregnancy.

Sorry, but until that embryo becomes a baby, it belongs to the mother's body and it is her choice if she wishes to have it grow inside her or not.
