Health Beat: What If Planned Parenthood Didn’t Exist? (BS alert)

Planned Parenthood dodged a bullet recently in the form of a proposal to take away its federal funding amid the controversy regarding fetal tissue that seemed to shock the nation.

But you can be sure there’s more ammo in its critics’ guns.

Nationally, the group has denounced the edited videos of discussions about what happens to fetal tissue from abortions, stating that the people in question were not representing the overall mission and goals of the organization.

This is not the first time Planned Parenthood has had to fight for its funding, but just the latest challenge in an uphill battle to provide preventative family planning along with many other medical services, often to underserved populations in areas where alternatives may not exist.

How much money are we talking about here?

The amount allocated to Planned Parenthood from all government sources for 2015 was $528 million, and the federal goverment is the biggest of those sources.

How much federal funding is actually used for abortion services?

Zero.

Most of the 70+ million slaughtered unborn would be alive.

They would be paying social security and taxes so we could have a booming economy.

Sadly a good many would be on food stamps, TANF, section 8, Obamaphones, etc.

It’s a testimonial to the integrity of conservatives that we fight to save the lives of future Democrat voters.

If Planned Parenthood did not exist then Stem Express would have to do business with the likes of Gosnell.

On the plus side 1/3 of the babies would not have been aborted and without our tax money.

Dang, man, the 70+ million would be ALIVE. That alone is valuable.

I would hope they would NOT be paying all this socialized b.s. but instead they would be growing up in a free society to live as they pleased, like it used to be and hope someday will be that way again in America .

Statics show that 50% of the black children that would have been born would be Obama’s sons. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Well, we’d have 50 million more citizens who might be working and contributing to prop up our currently unsustainable entitlement programs. That’s one way things would be different.

Then there would not be 100’s of thousand of murdered babies in America each year and as a Nation we would have regained our sanity and soul. Meanwhile since Obamacare means EVERYONE has to have insurance women would still get healthcare right?

I'm not so sure. Sin leads to more sin, and to despair.
