The last Government shutdown cost taxpayers $26 billion.
Republicans want to spend $26 billion to defund an organization that gets $500 million in federal support
Yet Democrats shut down Government 7 times to get abortion.
They do it 7 times fine and well worth it.
Repubs do it and it becomes all about the cost to the taxpayers.
Planned parenthood is old and outdated and needs to be shut down.
We have many other health care clinics and more of them that includes children and men as well as women's health issues that does abortions and mammograms- planned parenthood does not do.
There are 21 community health care clinics to every one planed parenthood and they do a much better job.
Democrats fought for government funding of abortions in cases where the mothers life was in jeopardy, rape or incest
Planned Parenthood has provided family planning services for a century. If you don't like them, don't use them
Do you really think Planned Parenthood is the only entity providing fetal tissue for research?
A little memory problem?
It was over taxpayer money to pay for abortions under Medicaid.
When Tip Did It | National Review Online
when Democrats also controlled the Senate under Senate majority leader Robert Byrd (D., W.Va.), were the result of disagreements over abortion policy, and lasted more than ten days on average. In several instances between 1977 and 1979, the Democratic House resisted the Democratic Senate’s efforts to expand the number of cases for which federal funds, via Medicaid, could be used to pay for abortion. The government partially shut down three times for a total of 28 days between September and December 1977 as lawmakers negotiated a compromise on the issue, although it would be revisited several times during subsequent shutdowns.
Like you said it has been around for a century and is old and outdated.
There are better clinics and they outnumber planned parenthood 21 to 1.
If you want to go somewhere other than Planned Parenthood you are free to do so. Why deny the same choice to other women who prefer Planned Parenthood?
Like it or not, abortion is legal. There are womens clinics who provide these services. Trumping up bogus charges to shut them down does not cut it
Fetal Tissue research is a valuable medical tool and is perfectly legal. Making up stories about selling "baby organs" does not change things
Why continue to pay for planned parenthood when there are better and more clinics for women that includes mammograms as well as abortions?
They also do fetal tissue research.
We need to start shutting down duplicate and multiple government programs spending and start to spend our money more wisely.
When there are 21 community health care clinics to one planed parenthood in each area. The old outdated one needs to go.
Planned Parenthood is not a government program. Over half of their government funding comes in the form of Medicaid reimbursement for womens health services
It is up to the women to decide where they seek help. If there are better options available in their community, I'm sure they will use them
