Planned Parenthood. If defunded, can they still do abortions? (salaries, program, income)

And they are using the HONOR SYSTEM as posted earlier to do it.
Hoping PP will in turn, use that $$ for other services offered as ordered
They are de-funding one segment of PP

The feds have not provided funding for abortions since 1976. They currently want to cut off all funding to PP.

Trump offered the choice to PP continue funding MINUS the abortion funding

The problem is, it isn't acceptable to them. So he had no choice

They are fighting FOR THE ABORTIONS

That's their bread and butter

Show your source for your allegation.

Because of ALLLLLLL the other services that they provide. Like annual exams, pap smears, STI testing, birth control. All for those people who have the nerve not to be able to afford to do it on their own. I mean? Really? Can you IMAGINE the nerve?

This is moronic. Abortions are a small fraction of their service offering. They have never had federal funding to perform abortions. Can you imagine the fundie freak out if they did?

Not if you're subjected to federal audits, you don't.

I have a little girl in heaven

In 1995, I got a D&C that was orignially scheduled as an abortion at Planned Parenthood

But I mis-carried

Because I was calm, they eventually renigged and told me it was a girl

I knew something was VERY WRONG with my body and the baby so I wanted it aborted.

I prayed alot

I am glad I suffered less trauma knowing it was a DNC, BUT I know i wouldve killed her anyhow

Not because I was evil, but uneducated understanding that this was a human life

With a heartbeat

I was told it was a blob

It wasn't. It had fingers, toes, toenails, etc..

The people at PP were not very smart. They eventually do tell the truth, or at least they did with me

But you need to stay calm and ask.

I didn't know what a D&C was.

I was told that there were remains left inside me after the miscarrage a few days prior.

Some vacuum like thing

The pain of miscarrage was akin to labor pain. Huge contractions I laid on my bathroom floor

I paid NOTHING. Nor would I have paid for the abortion.

I showed up telling them I miscarried

My husband was more upset at hearing the news than I was

I wished he had not been in the room to hear them describe this as a baby.

And not as a blob in which I used that term.

I was wrong

As we entered the Clinic, there were three people holding up signs

That was enough that I knew this would never happen again

So those signs worked

If true, then what is this discussion about then?
Why are they suing the Gov't to do later term abortions that they do not even get money for anyhow?

Sleepy really...

Why are so many hell bent on this mass genocide continuing?

Abortions were never funded, so what's the point?
