28 Republican Men Threaten Government Shutdown Over Planned Parenthood

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Planned parenthood is old and outdated and needs to be shut down.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Like you said it has been around for a century and is old and outdated.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

Do you really think Planned Parenthood is the only entity providing fetal tissue for research?

Can you tell me with 100% confidence that of the $528.4 million (46% of PP revenue) not one dime is spent performing abortions?

You can't because the abortions are performed in the same clinics non-abortion services are performed. So the lights, the rent, etc. operating costs,etc.
are all combined. The doctors performing abortions are paid from the co-mingled revenue.

that of the During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2014, the most recent for which data is available, Planned Parenthood affiliates around the country received $528.4 million in government funds (a combination of state, federal and sometimes local government dollars), according to the organization's own annual report and information it's required to share with the IRS.

Those federal dollars were the single largest source of money coming into the organization and its local affiliates, by far.
Another $305.3 million came from nongovernment sources,
about $257.4 million reached the organization after private donors and foundations made contributions and bequests.
The organization also raised another $54.7 million in fees charged for its services.
So, government funding — with federal dollars comprising the biggest portion of this part of the organization's budget —
are absolutely critical to Planned Parenthood's total operation.
How Planned Parenthood actually uses its federal funding

Why don't you fake a YouTube video and report them?

WE don't have to we have UNEDITED almost 3 hour ones to show how you people lie, and have NO MORALS!...Want me to post them for you?

 
Republican outrage implies that only Planned Parenthood is involved in providing fetal tissue for research

There is a wide market for providing this tissue and no...they are not making a profit off of it
Planned Parenthood is allowed to recoup the costs of preparing, packaging and shipping this tissue. That is what was discussed in the doctored videos
 
Why are republicans always blamed for government shutdown?
Because it is their fault.

When a terrorist takes a planeload of people hostage and the police refuse to negotiate, who is to blame if the hostages get killed?

Every Muslim on earth is to blame, amiright?

"Goose, meet gander."

I don't know, maybe you should ask your dear leader, he's threatening a shutdown for more deficit spending, want to renege on his budget deal.
White House threatens veto of defense spending bill

Obama has said he wants Congress to increase both defense and non-defense spending, and will veto any bills that keep the sequestration framework in place.

White House threatens veto of defense spending bill
I love your naiveté. The GOP has you completely snookered into bleeving they aren't big spenders, too. Despite their ten mile high track record. :laugh:

The fight over the deficit ceiling is theater for rubes like you.

Your dear leader, just like wild willie, has been dragged kicking and screaming to lower deficits by republican congresses and now both try to claim credit for them, and rubes like you by into their BS.
You poor sucker. How many Republican Administrations and Congresses have you lived through, and you STILL haven't figured out they are big spenders!?

What a pathetic lapdog you are.

Democrats: Tax and spend.

Republicans: Borrow and spend.
 
They won't vote to fund the federal government if the bill includes any money for the family planning provider.

WASHINGTON -- A group of 28 House Republican lawmakers, all men, are pledging to do everything in their power to defund Planned Parenthood this fall, even it means shutting down the federal government in protest.

In a letter circulated this summer by Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), the congressmen pledged to vote against any bill that funds the federal government if it includes money for Planned Parenthood. Congress must fund the government by Sept. 30 to avoid a shutdown.

"We must act to fully defund Planned Parenthood," the letter says. "Please know that we cannot and will not support any funding resolution – an appropriations bill, an omnibus package, a continuing resolution, or otherwise – that contains any funding for Planned Parenthood, including mandatory funding streams."

The lawmakers cited a series of heavily edited undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood doctors discussing the donation of fetal tissue for medical research after abortions. The anti-abortion group that circulated the videos claims that the family planning provider is selling fetal parts for profit, although multiple state investigations into that claim have come up with nothing.

Planned Parenthood receives about $500 million in government funding, mostly through Medicaid and a federal family planning program. The money is used to subsidize birth control, cancer screenings and other women's health services. The longstanding Hyde Amendment prevents any federal funds from being used to pay for abortions, but Republicans have been trying to defund Planned Parenthood over its abortion services since 2011.

ACORN was defunded based on lies. Now they're trying to do the same thing to Planned Parenthood. Oh, and why is it all men doing this?


Government funds PP because?

All for it, just kinda fuzzy on why the government funds them.

No, we protest about TAX PAYER MONEY to the tune of $500 MILLION is given to Planned parenthood... What other NON GOV'T assisted companies do, is not protested..... and allowed to recoup their costs?....How do they have NO PROFIT, when they actually have haggling for parts from different companies?

Our Messiah pledged to cut the deficit in half. Republicans mocked him for it

He has cut the deficit by two thirds

All praise be unto Obama

Right, all the while your dear leader is on pace to increase our debt 150% of what is was when he took office, A real saver, LMAO.

Oh....You want to talk about "debt" now?
Everyone knows you have to raise taxes to tackle debt

By the way, your 150% claim is totally bogus....please post the real number

Debt a bit over 8 Trillion when he took office, projected to exceed 20 Trillion by the time he leaves. Difference 12 Trillion. in other words, he alone will raise the debt 150% over and above all preceding presidents combined.

Sorry...you really need to go back and check your numbers
The ones you use are just made up

Debt was just under 12 trillion when Obama took office and will not exceed 20 trillion by next year

Both of you are wrong.
Debt was 10.6 Trillion when Obama took office.
Debt now is over 18.3 Trillion and will be around 20 to 21 Trillion when he leaves office.

Show your math
Given the deficit is under $500 billion a year, how do you get over $20 trillion in a year and four months?

You are right, the debt was 10.6 when Obama took office

Deficit doesn't include mandatory spending on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and maobama care, which are about 68% of all spending.
 
I don't know, maybe you should ask your dear leader, he's threatening a shutdown for more deficit spending, want to renege on his budget deal.

So I was wrong also. :)
It will be 19.3 Trillion in 2016.

Good, you should be paying more.... you want "free shit", then you pay for it.

Amount spent on social welfare programs FY2014: $600 billion.

Amount spent on tax expenditures FY2014: $1.2 trillion. Literally DOUBLE what was spent on welfare programs.

If you are going to talk about "free shit", then you better be willing to give up your own government nipple.

It's time to stop pretending giving away "free shit" is exclusively a Democratic thing.
 
All this "free shit", is why I support a tax on consumption and abolishing the income tax.

You want millionaires to get a "sales tax" deduction on their yachts? Okay. We'll just raise the "sales tax" a bit more so EVERYONE can pay for it.

You want to give free puppies to hookers? Okay. We'll just raise the "sales tax" a bit more so EVERYONE can pay for it.

Let's see how long "free shit" survives under such a tax structure.
 
Every time a deduction or exemption or credit is added to the tax code, either income tax rates have to go up or else deficit spending has to go up.

Basic math.

So EVERYONE is paying for the $1.2 trillion of annual tax expenditures. They just don't know it.

The same people whining about Obamaphones have NO IDEA they are being ripped off on a much, much larger scale by the politicians they support.

A sales tax would make that much more blazingly obvious.

Fact Check: How Does Planned Parenthood Spend That Government Money?
So when Washington politicians talk about "defunding" Planned Parenthood, they generally mean cutting off federal money. States could continue to spend as they please.
