PP exists to perform abortions.

Were they to cease to perform EVERY SINGLE OTHER SERVICE, it would be completely unnoticed in the market


I don't completely disagree with that

However abortion is legal. If they're not using public funds to perform the abortions then why am I supposed to care about any of this?

Their argument is they are using public funds to pay for abortions despite never being able to provide any evidence to back that up. Like I said earlier in the thread, at least a handful of states have investigated them and found no wrongdoing.

Just because something is legal doesn't mean it should get public funding to happen.

I used to be rabidly pro-choice when I was a young man and even THEN, I opposed govt funding of abortions

And I would have argued till the death that abortions should be legal

I'm pro-life, but there are plenty of reasons why even absent that, Planned Parenthood should be defunded.

It's a political advocacy organization for Democrats that gets money from the government. Segregation of funding is a fricking joke, considering that it just shifts the burden from one side of the house to the other and leaves more resources for PP to fund abortions and get Democrats elected.


Agreed on all counts.

Exactly.

The US Government funding groups that then use that money to fund political campaigns is an end run of absurd proportions.

I don't think a single liberal even believes it. Spleen knows it's bull shite. He just doesn't care because the lie works.

Or how about we have principled stances on multiple topics and want them all addressed rather than giving up one to support another.


As usual, you missed the point entirely.

Care to clarify, then? Sounds like you're saying that the anti-abortion crowd needs to change its positions on some things in order to prevent more abortions from happening.
