A pretty good article about why republicans have taken positions against abortion, and mostly has nothing to do with compassion or the right to life.
Why Do Republicans Hate Planned Parenthood So Much?
That article is trying to link the Republican crusade against abortion with trying to shut down PP. The truth is, if PP stopped abortions, youd never hear another peep from people on the right, and, if abortion is only 3% of what PP does, then stopping abortions wouldn't have any affect on their bottom line, and their ability to help women. Actually, they'd likely see an increase in revenue because anti abortion groups who never donated to them before might start.
It appears, however, that PP is not happy with the Alabama law, and they are going to appeal it. Now, why would PP, if abortion was not a factor to them, want to appeal the law?
