Planned parenthood?

[candycorn]

The govt supporting planned parenthood is running the govt like a business.
For every dollar they spend on birth control they save many more from welfare, food stamps, education costs, etc.

Just a good business decision like many want the government to make. Or so they claim.

It would be much better for the government to hire the people at PP, pay them, give them pensions, 4 weeks off a year, etc... than use private enterprise to do it....right? <sarcasm off>

Question, why does the goverment help subsidize Planned Parenthood? This is not an attack on PP, as I do think they do a lot of good, just confused as to how/ why the goverment got into the business of paying them to do it.

The government created Title X funding. Title X funding goes to entities (PP is one of them) that provide low/no cost family counseling/planning services. It is likely that your county/community health department gets much more funding from Title X than PP does since they are barred from raising money though other means. For example, PP could have a bake sale tomorrow; your LHD could not.

For local governments, PP is a great thing because if PP wasn't there, State, County, and local health departments would have to increase staff to address the issues. The schools, through another front on the Conservative war on thought, stopped teaching hygiene. Churches, of course, teach only abstinence and we all know how well that has worked. If PP were not around, we'd have to invent something like it, I suppose, is the bottom line.

The government isn't writing a bill that funds PP. No. It makes a pool of money available, PP qualifies and it gets the funding.

The conservative attack on Planned Parenthood (aka the reason they lost the 2016 election) is simply a dog whistle attack. It feeds the base. The truth, as is usually the case with conservatives, is a far different version of facts than what they broadcast.

Where does the government get the money that PP so clevewrly shuffles around to make it look like it's not used for purposes that some may object to?

Since other than it printing money, where do the funds (pool) come from?

Planned Parenthood receives record amount of taxpayer support

Published January 08, 2013
FoxNews.com


Planned Parenthood reported receiving a record $542 million in taxpayer support in fiscal 2012, marking a steady increase in government funding despite Republican-led efforts at the state and federal levels to cut off that stream.

The funding figures were included in the abortion provider's annual report released Monday. The numbers showed roughly 45 percent of Planned Parenthood's budget now comes from taxpayer dollars.

Pro-life groups quickly seized on the report to renew their calls for Congress to "defund" Planned Parenthood.

Are these pro-life groups ready to step up to the plate and fund the children that are born because PP is defunded? If not, they really should keep their moralistic nonsense to themselves.

No, why should they? The people who have those children are the ones who are suppose to be funding them, not joe taxpayer.

None of the PP crowd seem to grasp that it isn't Joe Q. Public's job to fund anything these people decide to do. It's like this:

"I'll **** your brains out without protection and when I get pregnant you pay for my stupidity."

It's all part of the "gimme" mentality. What she really says is that others should pay for strangers mistakes...the Kumbaya method. Killiing a child means nothing to people like her as long as she doesn't have to pay for it either.

Question, why does the goverment help subsidize Planned Parenthood? This is not an attack on PP, as I do think they do a lot of good, just confused as to how/ why the goverment got into the business of paying them to do it.

The government created Title X funding. Title X funding goes to entities (PP is one of them) that provide low/no cost family counseling/planning services. It is likely that your county/community health department gets much more funding from Title X than PP does since they are barred from raising money though other means. For example, PP could have a bake sale tomorrow; your LHD could not.

For local governments, PP is a great thing because if PP wasn't there, State, County, and local health departments would have to increase staff to address the issues. The schools, through another front on the Conservative war on thought, stopped teaching hygiene. Churches, of course, teach only abstinence and we all know how well that has worked. If PP were not around, we'd have to invent something like it, I suppose, is the bottom line.

The government isn't writing a bill that funds PP. No. It makes a pool of money available, PP qualifies and it gets the funding.

The conservative attack on Planned Parenthood (aka the reason they lost the 2016 election) is simply a dog whistle attack. It feeds the base. The truth, as is usually the case with conservatives, is a far different version of facts than what they broadcast.

Where does the government get the money that PP so clevewrly shuffles around to make it look like it's not used for purposes that some may object to?

Since other than it printing money, where do the funds (pool) come from?

A lot of people don't like armored tanks. Should we stop funding them?
Even more people don't like Congress. Should we disband your representatives?

Not one cent of tax money goes to performing abortions. It was true yesterday. It was true today. It will be true tomorrow. Despite your spin.

How do you know?

If all is clean, what is wrong with an audit? A baisc non partisan audit of where the 500 million dollars a year is going and whether or nopt a law is broken?

Afterall, if 500 million tax dollars is being used illegally, would you not want to know?

Furthermore, why do we not have audits for organizations we give massive amounts of money to? Shouldnt we, as tax payers know for sure it is all being used properly and legally?

Did we not learn anything by the picture of that guy in a hot tub holding a margarita on our dime?

Spin? Seeing things? I asked a rhetorical question and never said it directly funded abortions.


Let's see "Planned Parenthood"...yet they performed 333,964 abortions in a year.

Parenthood....abortion.

How does one plan to be parent of a fetus that they aborted...since you want to be obtuse and all. They perform abortions or should I say arrange and take tax payer money for other activities.


Would you support your government if they decided to kill all new borns but promised that they won't use tax payer money to buy the guns and bullets? Better yet would you believe them?

There is nothing wrong with lobbying for a law to be passed that says that tax money should not be used to fund tanks.

And if that law is passed, would you not want to audit the military to make sure they are not using tax payer money to fund the making of tanks?....especially if you see that the military is still making tanks?

No, it doesn't.

See, another lie. When do you open your mouth and NOT lie? Has it ever happened?

 

[Katzndogz]

The government should not be using public money to fund abortions, or birth control for that matter. These are private decisions. Of course, anyone who wishes to donate their funds to such causes should be absolutely free to do so.

why do I think I will not get an answer to this question (above)?

as it pertains to abortions...there is a law that forbids tax payer money to fund abortions.

So this is an issue of "are they breaking the law"..

And I dont get it as to why no one on the left cares to find out if they are breaking the law....seeing as they are getting a half a billion a year of tax payer money.

Speaking of the devil herself. Posts and is gone in 60 seconds. Give her 90 more seconds and she'll log back in. Do a drive-by and log out just as quickly.

Some of us have to post that way, as we are in the many stages of preparing for work, e.g., bathing, shampooing, posting, dental hygiene practices, posting, dressing, posting, taking care of the cat's needs, posting, breakfast, posting. It is a "time" issue. I've logged back in and out, too, as sometimes I lose the tab to this site, while searching other sites....

And other times, not caring enough about a response to our posts to go back and notice.

You get the picture. We're all here for different reasons, and do what it takes to enjoy the journey.
