Outside of Abortion why do so many Republicans (even the moderate Kasich) want to defund it when it's incredible popular. Call me a liberal but if you want to get rid of Abortion why go after Planned Parenthood in it's entirety? What's so bad about it? Aren't there bigger Fish to fry anyways?
The big issue is, outside of abortions, is PP even necessary (or useful) anymore? Under O-care any woman can walk into any clinic (or DR.s office) and use her insurance to get contraceptives and any other health care. Those that don't have OC qualify for Medicaid, same story. Exactly what does PP offer that isn't available elsewhere, and at a facility that offers a wider range of services.

Haven`t seen the video?
A tray full of baby arm, legs, livers, lungs and the like for sale to the highest bidder...doesn`t get much bigger than that.
Yes it does. After the great lie, any new plan had all that female junk that PP gets funded for. Since I didn't want to pay for any of that I went uninsured, against the law. The fine is cheaper.
Your answer shows that you don't understand the problem. Even with the ACA providing for coverage of contraceptives there are at least two problems that remain:
1. The ACA called for the expansion of Medicaid. The problem is that 20 out of 50 states have so far refused to expand Medicaid. This leaves a substantial number of lower income people without insurance coverage.
2. Even those with insurance under the ACA will be unable to access care if there are no medical facilities that provide these services anywhere near them. Planned Parenthood fills in the gap by locating clinics and facilities in areas in the country that are underserved. Take away funding for PP and this problem will become intense.

I wish some people would put down their GOP talking points and actually think about the realities here.
Bull. Any woman can walk into any Dr. office and get birth control or access to a OB/GYN easier than traveling to an aborton mill. And find s non-biased source to prop up your liberal talking points.
The people are paying for the same thing twice and that's another form of legalized fiscal abuse brought to us by the idiot in the WH.

They want their abortion mills. And they have their false rallying cry that failure to fund these mills constitutes an attack on women.

actually, No... planned parenthood is the "big fish".. Planned parenthood does the most abortions by far. The argument that planned parenthood provides other services is a moot point. Why is it moot? Well, those services aren't planned parenthoods "bread & butter". Meaning, they make most of their $$ from abortions. Also, it is ridiculous that taxpayer $$ be sent to a private organization which provides abortions. Even though it is legal, it is not something that taxpayers should have to support... and most Americans do not. They are forced to! If you are really pro-choice then feel free to "choose" planned parenthood. By forcing others to pay for your "choice", you are taking away their choice... see how that works? Don't force others to pay for your choice. Also, since Obamacare covers all americans, and Obamacare covers womens health, then that should be the gov't #1 option. The gov't has spend billions of $$$ on Obamacare. If you are going to make it a law then it needs to be enforced. You can't have it both ways. Giving tax $$ to an outside agency (planned parenthood) is fraud, waste, abuse of OUR money!
PP isn't bad. There may be some bad employees, but as a whole provides a valuable service. For those who hate welfare, just remember an abortion costs a fraction of what it costs in welfare for a child.
The only issue I have with PP, I have with the law in general. That is not having to inform the parents that a minor child has received medical care. I personally believe that parents have a right to know.
