Make a Planned Parenthood (no abortions)
Make a Planned end of Parenthood (abortion facility)
Then the taxpayers can support women's health with the first and not worry about being told that they hate women because they don't want to fund abortions.0 -

You are holding that hypocrisy, I will defend life.
The NRA hasn't ended any life, the NRA is supported with zero taxpayer dollars.
Planned Parenthood (irony there) ends life every day, and it is funded to the tune of $500M annually by taxpayers.
I know which is a greater threat to life.

Make a Planned Parenthood (no abortions)
Make a Planned end of Parenthood (abortion facility)
Then the taxpayers can support women's health with the first and not worry about being told that they hate women because they don't want to fund abortions.To really understand what federal funds pay for at Planned Parenthood, you first need to know that federal tax dollars don’t pay for abortions. A decades-old, unfair law already prohibits that (except in cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is in danger).
Again, most federal funding comes to Planned Parenthood in the form of reimbursements through Medicaid, the government-funded health insurance plan for people with low incomes.
Just like other kinds of health insurance, Medicaid reimburses Planned Parenthood’s doctors and nurses for the preventive medical services they provide, including life-saving cancer screenings, HIV testing, and birth control. There are no special favors here.
The majority of federal funds come through Planned Parenthood health centers via reimbursements for the medical services that they provide to patients who either have Medicaid coverage or qualify for other publicly funded health care programs (like Title X).
Planned Parenthood’s health centers also get federal funds for delivering vital services through Title X, the nation’s family planning program — funds that can only be used to support family planning health care.
Planned Parenthood serves 1.5 million of Title X’s over 4 million patients each year, helping people who often don’t have access to family planning care anywhere else. Without Planned Parenthood, many of these patients wouldn’t get the health care they need to take control of their lives.
In talking about funding, it’s important to note that:
The government saves $7 in Medicaid-related costs for every dollar invested in publicly funded family planning programs like Title X.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office projects that barring Planned Parenthood health centers from being reimbursed through Medicaid would result in a net cost of $130 million to taxpayers over 10 years due to an increase in unintended pregnancies without the high-quality contraceptive care that Planned Parenthood provides.
It is estimated that Planned Parenthood health centers prevent at least 579,000 unintended pregnancies a year.
Impact Shutting Down Planned Parenthood
If politicians out to “defund” Planned Parenthood have their way, they will block millions of patients who depend on Medicaid and other public health care programs from accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers.
And we all know their ultimate goal: To shut down all Planned Parenthood health centers. If that happens, it would cause a national health care disaster. Many Planned Parenthood patients — nearly half of whom are people of color, and many of whom live in rural areas — would have nowhere else to turn for health care.
Got That Now?
Just to reiterate: The federal government doesn’t cut a blank check to Planned Parenthood.
The public funds that Planned Parenthood’s health centers receive are mostly reimbursements for preventive services, which often aren’t available anywhere else. Without Planned Parenthood, there just aren’t enough health care providers to deliver the millions of medical services it provides each year.
Your fiscal conservatism is rearing its ugly head again. Or maybe its the half that depend on Planned Parenthood fir health servcies that rankles you so much?

-Donald TrumpWow. This is fucking great. NRA will LOVE this.
I had an argument with some guy recently about why Trump overturned Obama's gun control measure last year regarding mentally ill people. Guy kept telling me it was because Trump believed in DUE PROCESS! This guy was due process this, due process that. I kept saying it was purely because it was an Obama EO and that's primarily what he cares about.
This just goes to show the president doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about....not as if we all didn't know that in the first place.
