What the services cost is irrelevant. 75% of the services they provide are to people 150% below the poverty line who, you know, can't afford a doctor.

lol at your conspiracy theories though. Here's a graph breaking down the spending for you:


Wow! Look at all that abortion spending. Definitely the bread and butter of the program, am I right?

so they provide services to people who are already sucking off the government tit?

I think anyone can use the PP program. The majority of their users are the poor though, yes.

[butt86]

No. ANYONE can walk in to an office and get services. LOL at the "pie chart", too.

sorry i meant to say 75% of their services...

Planned Parenthoods' own "fact sheet" shows they performed over 330,000 abortions last year.

Man, you have really been drinking the Kool-Aid. Services at PP are no cheaper than a typical Dr's office. Mammograms, pregnancy tests', etc. cost the same. 80% of the reason they are there is to perform abortions. THAT is the money-maker, and THAT is the reason the Libs want to protect it.

Because the myth that Planned Parenthood uses federal tax dollars to fund abortion has absolutely nothing to do with a constitutional mandate to fund the program?

If they provide such a great service, then they can support themselves.

How the fuck is it not!?

Because the myth that Planned Parenthood uses federal tax dollars to fund abortion has absolutely nothing to do with a constitutional mandate to fund the program? If Republicans were trying to defund it on the premise that it's unnecessary, that argument might be relevant. But they aren't, and it's not.

[exlude]

Well I can't check for myself right now, but from what I'm hearing is that the LES are showing no pay at the end of the month.

[sc281]

How is that even relevant?

[Durantula]

Point out the constitutional mandate to fund it

How is that even relevant?

PP is not essential, who really cares what they are doing with the money at this point? Defund it until we are out of this financial mess. We just don't have the money, what is there to discuss? That should be the end of it.

For one, PP is very essential. Without it, thousands of women would likely die every year. Second, the preventative services it provides save the federal government money. Defund it and you're actually losing more money over the long haul.

[slow06]

The thing is, Planned Parenthood doesn't use federal funds for abortion. That's why this whole government shutdown nonsense over abortion funding and Planned Parenthood is fucking ridiculous. Either the Republicans have no idea what PP does or they have another agenda.

The morons in Washington are the ones not doing their job, take their paycheck.

Man this is so frustrating I don't want to think about it.
