PP does not use a dime of federal money to fund abortions. The majority of its work , 70%, is STD testing/ treatment and contraception.

Makes no sense to me to cut off their funding because they recycle aborted fetuses for profit.

If doing so is against a law, go after management responsible.

If Congress does not want to use public funds to pay for STD testing/ treatment and contraception, then say so.

It is extremely unlikely any Congress or president is going to ever stop feeding, educating and providing healthcare to children born into poverty.

Government should stop giving money to any organization that breaks the law and selling body parts no matter from any body, baby or fetus or adult is breaking the law.

Our prisons are full of people that should have been aborted. $500 abortion vs. $100s of thousands keeping them locked up for life, makes the former look like a good deal.

I assume you would also tell the people who want to donate their body parts upon death that they are contributing to evil. If a viable organ from a fetus would save another fetus, why is that evil?
No. I'm a registered organ donor and so is most of my family. The difference is I chose to become one. Nobody made that choice for me. Fetuses don't get to decide to be aborted. The parents, normally the mother, make that choice.

Now, it's one thing if she sits down with her family, her doctor and her faith and determines that having an abortion is the right thing to do. It's no one's place to come between her and her healthcare decisions. HOWEVER, it's something else entirely when a clinic employee sits down and strongly encourages her to have that abortion with the surreptitious motivation of making a profit off the baby's body parts.

AKA - I have blinders on so don't annoy me with the facts because I don't want to hear anything other than my interpretation of the truth.

1. you cannot say funding for one part of a business does not affect another part of the same business.
2. if PP is so all fired concerned about providing STD Testing and getting the federal government to pay for it, then spin off the abortion business and let that be a separate company unconnected to the rest of their efforts.
3. PP does not need federal dollars to provide contraception to poor women because the ACA mandates that is now free.
4. If a man were to only hit his wife during 30% of their fights, you would be outraged.

Right wingers have yet to provide any facts that show Planned Parenthood breaking the law....though they different show a video that may have been illegally recorded.

Or did you think that it was all suppose to be free? You do realize non profit doesn't mean free, right?

Yes, and many of those women are on medicaid which pays for the bc.
