Hey I'm more than happy to talk about killing babies vs benefits living breathing children!savethechildren.org
for $0.35 per day 1 hungry child can be fed.
At the same time Planned Parenthood receives $563,000,000 in Federal grants (OUR tax money mind you) per year.
5,000,000 kids world wide would be fed for 365 days with the above $563 million.
During that same year that the $563 million is used to PP kills 345,672 babies per year.

Morality scale: 5 million kids living vs 345,672 babies killed.
Maybe if some of that $563 million went to provide paid maternity leave to poor pregnant women, universal health care for mother and child, and other resources for poor families, women might be in a position to make different choices.
It is the lack of morality of the Republican Party which continues to cut benefits and care for living breathing children and their families that is the cause of all of the abortions in the USA. Countries with paid maternity leave, a high minimum wage, universal health care, and social supports for young families have half the number of abortions as American women, who have NONE of these things.
If you want to preach a lack of morality, talk to the Republicans about it.
Let's talk about that ok?
FACTS... How much money has been spent on welfare since LBJ started the War on Poverty?
In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed,
“This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution.
The War on Poverty After 50 Years
This week, the U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to release its annual poverty report. The report will be notable because this year marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. In his January 1964 State of the Union address, Johnson proclaimed, “This...

$22,000,000,000,000! Divided by 34,000,000 divided by 50 years equals $13,000 per person per year FREE!
In 2019 an estimated 34.0 million Americans lived in poverty according to the official measure, 4.2 million fewer people than in 2018.
Poverty has decreased for the overall population since the 1960s.
Official poverty in the United States stood at 19.0 percent in 1964 USA population 191,000,000 or 36,000,000
So in 2019 34 million is 332,000,000 or 10%
and decreased by 4.2 percentage points to 14.8 percent in 2014, moving up and down with economic cycles.

Finally you tell me why trillions of more in money should go to these people when this is what is given to them today!
So these people get:
40 million Americans on food stamps get $200/month in free food.
portion $1,000 /month in FREE housing...
So these people get
=== $ 5,666 in EIC cash,
=== $12,000 free housing ,
=== $ 2,400 free food,
=== $ 1,200 in free cell phone plus
=== $ 5,000 a year in free health care from Medicaid.
So this is about $26,000 a year in FREE MONEY, free goods and free services...
So you tell me about being poor!
