And they can turn their states super right wing, abolish abortion, require religion, turn themselves into the Taliban. Because if that's what their voters want, have at it and leave the rest of us alone.
Absolutely and what took you so long? I have agreed with the premise for quite a few years now. It make so much sense. The only problem is that we have to find a way to capture their pollution and send it back to them before it contaminates the strides we will be making with cleaning up the environment.

Why should I pay for the poor decisions of red states? If those states want to force hundreds of thousands of babies to be born in poverty, with drug addicted moms and living in horrid conditions because they think that's the Christian thing to do, let them. Just let blue states move forward with providing medical resources for their residents. Let the country split so we can all live our lives without anger.

They spend a ton on lobbying and political activism already, they don't need tax money.

And there you have it----why should people against abortions have to pay for them?

It took Trump. After eight years of screaming about Obama, a truly honorable man that they called a Muslim Kenyan, they elected Trump the original birther. After I saw what they really wanted, what they considered the ideal president, I realized there is absolutely no way this country will ever agree on anything. I completely agree on the environment too, Trump has a mad hate for the environment and apparently all things science. Making abortion illegal falls right in line with that. Let them have their theocracy and let blue states build a wall.

So is Planned Parenthood going to fold if they don't get this taxpayer money? They will still be getting $260 million from the Fed Gov.

When did you pay for anyone's abortion? And why are you not outraged over this...

Fertility clinics destroy embryos all the time. Why aren't conservatives after them?

Last month, my husband and I signed forms donating an embryo we had conceived to medical research. Meanwhile, conservative Republicans are vowing to defund Planned Parenthood for allowing women who have abortions to make the same choice.

People are so concerned about the poor but the poor have to pay for their abortions. Or so PP says.

Trump's base is mostly comprised of diehard birthers. Funny how none of them ever wonder what happened to those private investigators Trump sent to Hawaii who "could not believe what they were finding." A real testament to their astute natures. LOL

That's a very interesting question. Why aren't conservatives going after destroyed embryos? Shouldn't Trump be screaming somewhere? Can't he put his McDonalds down long enough to send an angry tweet to the fertility clinics?
