So, who pays? Please be specific.
/sigh
You do realize that PP does a whole lot more than abortions, don't you? Why are you in favor of cervical cancer in poor women? Since PP does a lot more detecting and treating cervical cancer in poor women than it does providing abortion services.
So we are told.1: No tax money goes towards abortion so no ones money is being spent on abortion.
Because there are 'tons' of such things means we shouldn't start reducing that number? PP is as good a place to start as any.2: There are tons of things that many many people don't agree with that tax money goes to. Wars, gun regulation that doesn't do squat, spending money over seas when there's so much that we should be taking care of first are just a few of the things that I wish our tax money wasn't spent on. And yet....it still is.
Are you saying the story is not true?
Ya think??????

Tax dollars do not pay for any abortions. It's illegal and P.P. is closely audited.
The tax dollars are not used for abortions or any abortion-related activities. So your concerns are unwarranted.
Actually abortions done to save the life of the mother are paid for by tax payers.
Does PP do those? We are talking about PP. I thought that only applied in hospitals. But yes, you are correct, tax money can go towards abortions in extreme cases such as saving the life of the mother.

Money is fungible.
Rape is not really an extreme case. Just sayin'.
They do about 300,000 abortions a year, which alone makes them one of the leading causes of death in the country.
Killing cells happens all the time. :shrug:
Maybe not to you. :shrug: I'm sure that 12 year old that was raped by her father would disagree with you though.

I see no reason why money should be taken by force from you and given to Lockheed Martin. Do you?

LOL.
It's interesting one of the most vile propagators of partisan hype and lies (DailyKos) is used to complain about perceived right wing media hyped lies. Oops.
According to the Republican himself, he changed his vote because PP is no longer under investigation in his state, so he has opted to treat it like any other organization. The fact he is running for governor and needs votes could also play into it, but the investigation quote is the only fact to go on.
You can bet your ass that this is the only reason for his vote.
--because he failed to look into the issues last year and voted wrong based only on right wing media hyped lies.
Morning Digest: Why this New Hampshire Republican just voted to restore Planned Parenthood's funding
The P.P. "controversy" was not deep and broad. It was a concocted witch hunt aimed at a narrow right wing audience which is a portion of his constituents. Right from the start it was debunked by many informed people. It was similar to what happened to ACORN and Shirley Sherrod. It was hype. And Sununu voted without bothering to learn the truth. As a representative of his constituents he should have looked into it, got himself informed, and then corrected the lies.No, the story checks out. The guy changed his vote. What isn't true is the typical BS DailyKos spewed about the reason.
BS from DailyKos:
Sununu claimed that he voted against Planned Parenthood in 2015 because of the discredited videos that right-wing critics circulated to try to claim PP was involved in the illegal sale of fetal tissue. Sununu now admits that those allegations turned out to be utterly bogus (well, not exactly in those words), and so, he says, Planned Parenthood "should be treated like any other organization that comes before the council."
This is his formal statement:
"Last Year, I voted against this contract after hearing concerns from my constituents regarding the legality of practices Planned Parenthood had allegedly engaged in. I stand by my principle that this state should not conduct business with groups under any investigation or that are embroiled in serious controversy. As has been widely reported, charges against Planned Parenthood for these alleged practices were dismissed by court order. As this group is no longer under investigation, they should be treated like any other organization that comes before the Council"
As you can see, the childish rant from the hate factory at DailyKos isn't even close to the truth. Of course, they count on their readers to not be interested is such a principle.
Regardless, my comment focused on the irony of making a statement about media hyped lies while using one of the most aggressive propagators of media hyped partisan lies on the internet.
Yes. We had a lot of discussions here and nobody could really argue convincingly that the present financing is Constitutional. So why not restructure it and make it undeniably legal?
