Even if they are saying it’s a donation to a specific non-abortion program within Planned Parenthood, isn’t it still helping Planned Parenthood?
What I’m trying to say, is that, for every dollar donated to specific programs within Planned Parenthood, doesn’t that then free up a dollar in their budget, to spend on other things, including abortion?
If people donate to Planned Parenthood, but specify it’s to go to other activities of Planned Parenthood, it seems to me that their accountants will then report that money is freed up within their budget, to spend in other ways.
You are exactly correct. All money is fungible. No one would ever say that donating to the Nazi's bandage-making group (if there was such a thing) was was ok. Donating to a group that does evil allows them to spend their other money on more evil.
Right, fund with the intention of it going to one part, it goes of course to everything. Idiots

“...for every dollar donated to specific programs within Planned Parenthood, doesn’t that then free up a dollar in their budget, to spend on other things, including abortion?”
Exactly.
Years ago, Supreme Court decided cases using the same logic about using taxpayer $$$ to fund religious school’s education (textbooks, non-religious materials) - same logic was used...giving education $$$ was a contribution to the church because it freed up church contributions to be used for religious purposes that they otherwise would have spent on education. In other words, there is no real way to separate the education mission (funds) from the religious (funds). The political left and athiest mobs were overjoyed. From a 1st Amendment perspective, the Court was right in my opinion. TO be truly free in religious practice/beliefs, take no federal $$$$$.
Despite that logic, the left only uses it when it advances their cause and dispenses it when it doesn’t. Ends justifies the means. The federal government funds pp saying that those funds are for non-abortion activities. The abortion services (funds) cannot be separated from the non-abortion services (funds). It’s all the same. Green Bay Packers fool no one, they are funding abortions. Not sure what that has to do with the NFL - they really thought such contributions were to be seen as an act of philanthropy? No they didn’t. There are well-placed pp people in their organization who are helping pp carry out its mission.
Precisely!
