Why does Planned Parenthood get Government money again........?

Currently Planned Parenthood receives Government money, yet they contribute millions to political causes.

Why is it they get money from the Government again? If you can give away millions, you clearly have enough, without having to get more money from the Government.

Because they fund Democrat campaigns

 

Except the govt is made up of Dems AND Repubs. Are you saying Dems have bullied Repubs into agreeing to fund planned parenthood? Why haven't Repubs completely defunded planned parenthood? Are Repubs a bunch of cucks?

 

They provide a lot of services to the poor. I remember when me and the wife were really young PP was the only place we could afford her birth control shot. They provide so much more the abortions. So even though I find abortions abhorrent and uncivilized I do see the need for PP when there are no other options for the poor and family planning.

 

Because abortions are fantastic bang for the taxpayer buck.

The Cost : Benefit ratio of abortions is amazing. Spend a couple hundred bucks today, and you save thousands, hundreds of thousand, maybe even millions of taxpayer dollars down the line.

They should put abortions in the drinking water.

Seriously though, I'm all for supporting PP, and keeping abortion accessible and safe, but the left's ghoulish love of abortions even creeps me out. They're like some sort of freaky baby killing cult at this point.

 

^ This is the correct answer.

 

Basically...

They GOP is full of RINOs who run as conservatives to fool old people, but goose step with the collective when they get to Washington. One of the best things to happen was losing a bunch of Democrat double agents in 2018.

There used to be little difference between Republicans and Democrats. They both worked together for American interests. Now the Democrats represent global interests in America while what's left of the GOP represents Americans interest in America.

 

For that to be the correct answer that would mean the Cons have allowed themselves to be bullied by bleeding heart Libs. Gosh...how embarrassing for conservatives to be cucks to liberals.

 

The tax money paid to planned parenthood, by law, isn't allowed to be used to cover abortions. (Despite the countless lies that Republicans have spouted over the years about how they get hundreds of millions of dollars every year and it all pays for abortions)

It helps pay for cancer screenings, birth control, sexual education, STD screenings, and a wide variety of other sexual and reproductive health issues. The government gives them annual grants because of the fact that they are often times the only way for many women to get these services. PP clinics that provide these services are free clinics and do not charge. They rely fully on charity and government aid in order to continue these services for people who can't afford insurance.

 

It's the same with unions. Unions donate to Democrats, Democrats give unions contracts. It's a circle.

 

Definitely not conservatives, but RINOs, and there's enuff of them stop legislation like de-funding the baby killers, and failing to repeal barrycare.

And, yes, RINOs are an embarrassment.

 

PP just made a liar out of you.

What can I expect to pay for a visit at Planned Parenthood?
This depends on the type of health care service you require and your health insurance carrier. If you do not have health insurance, we can offer you services based on our discount fee scale. Our patients find that Planned Parenthood health care fees are very reasonable, especially when compared to other doctors’ offices.

Can I use my health insurance at Planned Parenthood?
Yes! We welcome most major health insurance carriers for billing for reproductive health services (GYN). You will be asked to present your insurance card and pay your co-pay at the time of visit. Some health insurances will require you to notify them of a change in your GYN provider. Call 1-866-600-6886 for more information.

What if I can’t pay or do not have health insurance?
Planned Parenthood participates in a federal funding program called Title X (10); a program that allows us to supplement birth control, GYN care and other reproductive health services for people who cannot pay full price for health care services. This program does not pay for abortion care. To qualify, we ask all patients seeking services at Planned Parenthood present the most recent four week snapshot of your income (such as recent pay stubs or, if you are unemployed, proof of your unemployment benefits or inability to work). This helps our staff determine what amount you can pay under Title X’s discounted fee scale.

 

Who did you think diagnoses men who have STI's or HIV/AIDS and treats them???Abortions are only 3% of what planned parenthood provides.

 

Which "RINOs" stopped legislation like de-funding planned parenthood?

 

Collins & Murkowski.

I'm not your mommy. Please do your own research in the future. TIA.

 

An entire two? That is some power those two hold, eh?

 

Then how did they survive when the repubs were in sole control?

 

The 3% is a number provided by PP, and not audited. Frankly, that figure is risible insofar as PP admits their core business is abortions.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...d-finally-admits-abortion-is-its-core-mission

“Our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care,”

It requires truly crooked accounting. As Rich Lowry of National Review explains, Planned Parenthood arrives at the 3 percent figure by counting abortion like any other service. By its books, an abortion is the same as a simple pregnancy test or a quick STD screen. Count them all up, divide the number of abortions by the total number of other services, and voila: Planned Parenthood can say abortion is just a small part of what it does.

Not everyone has been fooled, not even more liberal outlets who might be more sympathetic. The fact checker at the Washington Post ran the numbers and found the 3 percent statistic “misleading.” She gave it three Pinocchios. Writing at Slate in May 2013, Rachel Larimore was similarly unimpressed. She called it “the most meaningless statistic ever.”

 

There are plenty of other places which provide those services as well, and they don't do abortions at all. why not stop PPH gov funding and fund the many other poor health care providers?

 

Haven't you heard? Repub pols are RINOs. Apparently there are no "real conservatives" in the Republican party.

 

Point of fact: The Republicans have not had a filibuster proof majority in Congress since the 1920s. Please stop for the "sole control" b.s.

 

We have less abortions in the USA today than we had before it was legalized.

 

Not at the time in Kansas City. There may be some now but I have not heard of them.

 

Yes, they are

 

Not really. They are just a counter-movement to the fetus obsessed portion of the right-wing that wants to ban abortions. You see the same paradigm at work in the gun control debate.
