How hard is it today with computers to show Federal funds ARE NOT used for abortions by PP?

[healthmyths]

The Hyde Amendment is a legislative provision barring the use of certain federal funds to pay for abortion unless the pregnancy arises from incest, rape, or to save the life of the mother.
The Hyde Amendment is not a permanent law, but rather is a "rider" that in various forms has been routinely attached to annual appropriations bills since 1976. Legislation including the Hyde Amendment generally only restricts the use of funds allocated for the Department of Health and Human Services and primarily affects Medicaid.

So how difficult would it be for Planned Parenthood (PP) to keep separate books?
One set showing expenditures/receipts for NON-Federal Funds and another set of expenditures/receipts for Federal funds?

Now this would mean PP would have to have abortions done in separate unattached facilities so that
all the operating expenses i.e. utilities, lease payments, as well as equipment, and employee salaries
paid out of the separate NON-Federal funds account.

You'd think PP would eliminate ANY of the violation of the Hyde Amendment simply by having these
stand alone facilities. That way all expenses would be paid from NON-Federal Funds?

Until PP can show that NO FEDERAL FUNDS are used for abortions, then Federal funding is in violation of the HYDE Amendment.

PP takes in more non-federal government funds than federal government funds. Do the math.

Who are YOU to say that? Tax payers $$ used to fund abortions is in violation of Federal laws.
Where is the executive decision making to follow the Federal laws that our representatives passed?

Were you homeschooled?

I was schooled in a public system at a time when public schools were more proficient then you as you appear to be recent public school drop out
.

But if I were that would be a compliment as :15 Key Facts About Homeschooled Kids in College - OnlineCollege.org

1. HOMESCHOOLERS OFTEN ENTER COLLEGE WITH MORE CREDIT
   Homeschooled students are able to work at their own pace, and as a result, students have the freedom to move significantly faster than those in a traditional classroom. Michael Cogan, a researcher at the University of St. Thomas, discovered that homeschool students typically earn more college credits before their freshman year than traditional students, with 14.7 credits for homeschoolers, and 6.0 for traditional students. Earning college credit before freshman year can save thousands of dollars and shave time off of a degree. The 14.7 average credits for homeschoolers represent a full semester of freshman year, which is typically 12-15 credit hours.
   
   
2. HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS DO BETTER ON THE SAT AND ACT
   Perhaps benefiting from personalized test prep, homeschool students typically score higher on standardized college admissions tests. The homeschool average for the ACT was 22.5 in 2003, compared with the national average of 20.8. The SAT was no different, with a homeschool average of 1092 in 2002, and a national average of 1020. ACT and SAT scores are very important for college admissions and even financial aid, so doing well on these tests is vital to a great college experience.
   
   
3. HOMESCHOOL GPAS ARE CONSISTENTLY HIGHER
   As a homeschooled student, you work on a flexible schedule. Young children may rely greatly on their parents for scheduling and instruction, but high schoolers typically become more autonomous in their studies, learning key skills for success as independent students in college. Research indicates that this time spent learning how to study independently pays off, as homeschoolers typically have higher GPAs than the rest of their class. Homeschool freshmen have higher GPAs in their first semester at college, with 3.37 GPAs for homeschoolers, and 3.08 for the rest. This trend continues with an overall freshman GPA of 3.41 vs. 3.12, and senior GPAs of 3.46 vs. 3.16, indicating that homeschoolers are better prepared for college.
   
   
4. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO ATTEND COLLEGE
   Homeschooled students seem to be more likely to participate in college-level education. As reported by the Homeschool Legal Defense Association, more than 74% of home educated adults between 18-24 have taken college level courses. This rate is much higher than the general US population, which comes in at 46% for the same age range.
   
   
5. HOMESCHOOLERS ARE EVERYWHERE
   Patrick Henry College is one college that specifically caters to the homeschool population, but homeschoolers are increasingly accepted in a wide variety of colleges and universities. In fact, homeschoolers are now in over 900 different colleges and universities, many of them with rigorous admissions. Some of these colleges include Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, and Rice University.
   
   
6. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE
   Making it to college is one thing, but actually sticking around and graduating is another. Students who have homeschooled will typically do better than other students, with a slightly higher retention rate, at 88.6% vs 87.6% for traditional students. Graduation rates show a higher disparity between homeschoolers and the national average, with 66.7% of homeschooled students graduating, compared to 57.5%.
   
   
7. SOME COLLEGES ACTIVELY RECRUIT HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS
   Homeschool students have proven themselves to be so outstanding that several colleges have begun to actively recruit them. Boston University, Nyack College, and Dartmouth are among them, with a Dartmouth College admissions officer recognizing, “The applications [from homeschoolers] I’ve come across are outstanding. Homeschoolers have a distinct advantage because of the individualized instruction they have received.”
   
   
8. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS ARE VERY LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN COLLEGE
   Research and probability indicates that homeschooled students typically do very well in college, not just academically, but socially as well. Skills learned in homeschooling translate very well to the college campus, with strong self-discipline and motivation. Colleges recognize this advantage, including Brown University representative Joyce Reed, who shares, “These kids are the epitome of Brown students.” She believes they make a good fit with the university because “they’ve learned to be self-directed, they take risks, they face challenges with total fervor, and they don’t back off.”
   
   
9. HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS ARE OFTEN NOT REQUIRED FOR COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
   Although traditional students will typically be expected to submit their high school transcript, homeschooled students usually do not need one, submitting other information instead. Sixty-eight percent of US universities will accept parent-prepared transcripts. Others will take portfolios, with letters of recommendation, ACT or SAT test scores, essays, and more, allowing homeschooled applicants flexibility in admissions.
   
   
10. HOMESCHOOLERS CAN PLAY COLLEGE SPORTS
    As long as they meet standardized guidelines, homeschooled athletes can be awarded freshman eligibility to participate in college level sports. The number of homeschooled students participating in sports is growing as well, with up to 10 each year in 1988-1993, and as many as 75 students in the late 90s. Homeschool waiver applicants are typically approved, and in the 1998-1999 school year all applicants in Divisions I and II were approved, indicating not only an increased interest in college sports from homeschoolers, but an excellent openness in participation.
    
    
11. MANY HOMESCHOOLERS ARE NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARS
    The National Merit Scholar program is an academic competition offering prestige and cold hard scholarship cash for high achieving students. The number of homeschool National Merit Scholars is increasing at a high rate: in 1995, there were 21 homeschool finalists, compared with 129 in 2003, a 500% increase. Homeschoolers are clearly doing well in their studies, and as a result, are reaping the rewards in scholarship money to use in school.
    
    
12. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS MAY HAVE HIGHER COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE RATES
    Colleges and universities often recognize that homeschooled students tend to be exceptional in their academic performance, and combined with advanced studies and extracurricular activities, make great candidates for admission. In addition to actively seeking out homeschooled applicants, colleges may also be accepting more of them. In the fall of 1999, Stanford University accepted 27% of homeschooled applicants. This doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s an incredible number when you consider that this rate is twice the acceptance rate experienced by public and private school students admitted in the same semester.
    
    
13. HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS ARE OFTEN IN HONORS PROGRAMS
    High achieving homeschool students can benefit from advanced curriculum in college, which is why so many of them end up in honors programs once they go on to study at universities. At Ball State University, most homeschooled freshmen were admitted at a higher level than regular students. Eighty percent of homeschool students were admitted to “upper levels of admission,” and 67% were in the Honors College.

Congress Plans To Fast Track A Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood This Week

Congress Plans To Fast Track A Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood This Week

Senate Republicans are prepared to forge ahead this week with a legislative tactic to fast track a bill to dismantle Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood. The process, called reconciliation, allows lawmakers to advance budget-related measures with just 51 votes, rather than the 60-vote threshold that’s normally required to prevent a filibuster.

According to Roll Call, Senate Republicans concluded a conference meeting on Monday evening feeling “enthused” about their plan to push the legislation toward President Obama’s desk as early as Thursday. Although the president is expected to veto the bill, it could set the stage for a bigger fight as Congress negotiates a funding bill to avert a government shutdown later this month.

The provision to defund Planned Parenthood was added to the Obamacare repeal bill earlier this year specifically in response to a right-wing video campaign that accuses the organization of selling “aborted baby parts.” There isn’t any credible evidence to support these accusations. Nonetheless, Congress leaped into action after the release of the videos, forming multiple committees to investigate the group’s activity and bringing in the organization’s president to testify.

You're an idiot.

A woman who goes to PP for an abortion has to pay for it herself, or with her personal insurance, unless she is eligible for financial assistance based on her income.

The woman applies for PP financial aid. She does not apply for financial aid out of the federal funds PP receives.

Also some states pay for abortions.

The number of homeschool National Merit Scholars is increasing at a high rate: in 1995, there were 21 homeschool finalists, compared with 129 in 2003, a 500% increase. Homeschoolers are clearly doing well in their studies, and as a result, are reaping the rewards in scholarship money to use in school.
    
    
12. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS MAY HAVE HIGHER COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE RATES
    Colleges and universities often recognize that homeschooled students tend to be exceptional in their academic performance, and combined with advanced studies and extracurricular activities, make great candidates for admission. In addition to actively seeking out homeschooled applicants, colleges may also be accepting more of them. In the fall of 1999, Stanford University accepted 27% of homeschooled applicants. This doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s an incredible number when you consider that this rate is twice the acceptance rate experienced by public and private school students admitted in the same semester.
    
    
13. HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS ARE OFTEN IN HONORS PROGRAMS
    High achieving homeschool students can benefit from advanced curriculum in college, which is why so many of them end up in honors programs once they go on to study at universities. At Ball State University, most homeschooled freshmen were admitted at a higher level than regular students. Eighty percent of homeschool students were admitted to “upper levels of admission,” and 67% were in the Honors College.

You're an idiot.

A woman who goes to PP for an abortion has to pay for it herself, or with her personal insurance, unless she is eligible for financial assistance based on her income.

The woman applies for PP financial aid. She does not apply for financial aid out of the federal funds PP receives.

Also some states pay for abortions.

PP gets federal funds. They use those funds to pay for the abortion.
If some states want to pay THAT is their prerogative and I've no problem with that!
But you and obviously PP can NOT show that those Federal Funds are used for financial aid to then pay PP for abortions!

 

[healthmyths]

The burden of proof is with the accuser

The law is explicit. No funds can be used for abortions.
PP promotes it does abortions.
MY tax dollars go to PP.
Therefore the law is being violated because it is :
A) Clear PP accepts FF funds.
B) PP does abortions.
Therefore Federal funds are used for abortions in violation of the law.
Unless PP can show this is the case, PP is in violation clear and simple.

You have offered nothing to show that government funds are used for PP abortions. You would flunk a logic quiz if you offered this explanation.

Then why is Congress going to defund PP?

Congress Plans To Fast Track A Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood This Week

Congress Plans To Fast Track A Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood This Week

Senate Republicans are prepared to forge ahead this week with a legislative tactic to fast track a bill to dismantle Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood. The process, called reconciliation, allows lawmakers to advance budget-related measures with just 51 votes, rather than the 60-vote threshold that’s normally required to prevent a filibuster.

According to Roll Call, Senate Republicans concluded a conference meeting on Monday evening feeling “enthused” about their plan to push the legislation toward President Obama’s desk as early as Thursday. Although the president is expected to veto the bill, it could set the stage for a bigger fight as Congress negotiates a funding bill to avert a government shutdown later this month.

The provision to defund Planned Parenthood was added to the Obamacare repeal bill earlier this year specifically in response to a right-wing video campaign that accuses the organization of selling “aborted baby parts.” There isn’t any credible evidence to support these accusations. Nonetheless, Congress leaped into action after the release of the videos, forming multiple committees to investigate the group’s activity and bringing in the organization’s president to testify.

Congress is not going to defund PP.

Who are YOU to say? Now you are stating an opinion which is fine which you correctly could have stated "My opinion is Congress is not going to defund PP"... but
we do not have banana republic dictatorship...YET... and Congress will make the decision...not you!

Hmmmm....Republican Party has been on a rampage over Planned Parenthood
Republican Party controls Congress
Republican Party has the tools to investigate Planned Parenthoods books in great detail
If Republicans had found a shred of evidence that Planned Parenthood was using public funds for abortions, they would have shut them down in a minute

Obviously this isn't an EXECUTIVE Action that Obama would do if he didn't favor baby killings without Congress.
But since more people like me versus FEWER people like you follow the law and this will happen.

No question Republicans are planing to defund Planned Parenthood based on some doctored videos that have been debunked. Investigations also revealed PP followed the law....Republicans react by voting to defund anyway

If they had actual evidence of Planned Parenthood using public funds to pay for abortions....they would have produced it and not have to rely on propaganda videos

it is not hard at all, it is impossible.

For the federal government to give PP money and to say that money isn't used for abortion is BS. It is like taking water out of one end of the pool and saying it isn't the same water as is in the other end. The only thing that can or should be done is for PP to quite lying and justify why they need to perform genocidal abortions.
