Hello,

Personally I am a supporter of planned parenthood and I have contributed to them in the past.  Recently the Republicans made a show of support for defunding PP by including it in the repeal of Obama care.  It naturally didn't pass.  Setting aside the difficulties of repealing Obama care, is there some actual administrative reason why they couldn't defund PP?  I can see a political motivation for them not to defund PP since they need the pro-lifers to go to the polls and vote Republican.

Of course politicians have a disincentive to actually solve problems. Think about how difficult it would be to get votes running on keeping things as they are. Voters aren’t motivated by this. This is why politicians are constantly creating enemies to fight. As H L Mencken rightly said:

‘The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.’

As for actually accomplishing anything the Republicans have a terrible track record versus the Democrats. The Democrat voters mostly eventually get what they want. Republicans never do unless it is tax cuts (paid for by larger deficits) and more military spending.

Planned Parenthood is a dump that cares nothing about the rights of preborn females, nor what they are doing to their small, defenseless, helpless female bodies. A society that supports such vileness is just as dumpy.

Sadly, in the west, it isn’t just reborn girls. People here abort male and female children along with children with physical, genetic, or cognitive deformities. They abort male and female children because they already have “too many” or because the parents are “too young”. In other words, because it is inconvenient to have a baby.

It is a sad, sad world.

Peace,

You need to examine the history and practices of Planned Parenthood. The founder of the organization was an evil woman. She pretty much thought along the same lines as Hitler- instead of gassing the Jews, she believed in abortion as genocide for undesirables.

The respect for life at birth is fundamental but if it is not followed by respect and protection through infancy and childhood it is incomplete, shallow and hypocritical.

Incomplete and shallow perhaps, but not hypocritical, because the right to life is first and foremost or else all other ‘rights’ become redundant.

I hope this has helped

God Bless

I think too many issues get conflated together.

It’s a legal problem to deny a qualified facility from delivering covered Medicaid services just because you don’t like some of their other non-covered services.

Where they should cut funding is in giving PP grants to teach sex ed in schools and other community grants, given to PP at the exclusion of other qualified providers.

I know, I just say these dead fetuses are female to show that not all females seem to have a “right” over their own body. And how about those who are aborted simply because they are female? Shouldn’t there be outcry? Odd, that a female in the womb is just a nothing, yet as soon as she is born, it’s all right to care about her and consider her a human being.
