And poor people seeking birth control could suffer the consequences, say those opposed to the bill passed last month by the state House.

This is real objective journalism, isn't it?

It is unless you're one of those judgmental extremist meanies who dare to oppose abortion as a means of birth control.

Why is PP funded with our tax dollars in the first place? Because Rockefeller Republicans don't like minorities. As good a start as any....

Title X never should have been passed. Having been passed, congress should rescind it. The federal government has no business being in the sex business.

Planned Parenthood is a major funder of pro-abortion propaganda. It's also a huge business, which makes money by selling teenagers on sex, then selling them condoms and abortions. Abortion brings in huge profits, usually said to be in the neighborhood of a billion dollars a year.

Why, indeed, should taxpayers be funding people who profit by seducing and corrupting our children and then aborting their babies?

Its tax-funded because we have in this country a system whereby every special interest can try go garner enough power and influence over elected officials to have others pay for their personal vision of how the world should be. Why are faith-based charities going to be tax-funded?

Here's another good reason to defund these creeps:

The only thing that comforts me is that the pro-abort dailies are dying.

Like it or not, Planned Parenthood is a public health organization. That’s why they qualify for tax dollars.

Boy there is an oxymoron if you ever saw one. PP is a thinly disguised abortion mill whose prime function is to exterminate children.
It is the greatest tragedy of our times. Pray for the holy innocents!

The definition of "public health organzation" can always be changed in law.

Planned Parenthood helps suppress minority births. That's why they were founded, and that's what they've always aimed to do. Title X was sponsored by Spookdaddy Bush, aided by Rockefeller Republicans, who make no real secret of their goal to mold humanity into the image of the white northern-European producer/consumer.

How do you define health?

If a body system is functioning perfectly well, then the body is healthy. Elective convenience procedures or treatments have always been private matters. Birth control is elective and for convenience or pleasure - not necessity.

What is more, birth control is not healthcare - birth control shuts down a healthy system and causes it to malfunction.

And abortion - th emain profit center for Planned Parenthood - could be considered health care by no objective definition of the term. No one's health is preserved by 999,999 abortions out of 1,000,000. And one person is killed in every abortion. And the mental health of a majority of moms who have had abortions is negatively affected for life.

"have always been private matters" - as to funding (lest any one think that I meant that abortion is a private matter!)

Hmmm ... is ROLF-ing, or EST, or TM also matters of public health, or is sanity not a public health issue?

I wish I had more modern equivalents, but these will do, hopefully you may already know what they are.

You either don't know much about PP or you are pretending no to. The huge bulk of what they do is treating healthy functioning body systems and ensuring that they will not work. A tiny fraction of what they do is health care.

"Somebody asked a simple question (“why do they receive tax dollars?”), and I gave a simple answer (“because they provide public health services”).

That the guise, but it doesn't answer the question.

Here is a nice explanation. Start a couple of paragraphs above "There is also a reason why American elitists like the Harrimans and the Bushes become such fanatics for eugenics and population reduction."

If Planned Barrenhood is a public health organization, then Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen and Sobibor and all the other camps must have been "public health organizations" too. The results were quite similar and Dr. Mengele, the Nazi "angel of death" escaped Germany at the end of the war to take up a second career in Latin America as, what else?, an abortionist.

Check out the history of PP and find such winsome figures as Lothrop Stoddard, Ph.D. in history from Harvard and Margaret Sanger's and PP's "official observer" at the sessions of the 1930's Nazi Eugenics Courts, writing breathless monthly dispatches back to America about what a spiffy job Herr Hitler was doing cleaning up the gene pool in der Vaterland.

I am no more eager to fund Planned Barrenhood's 100,000+ infanticides per year and their incessant propaganda in favor of the business of other paid killers of innocent children with tax money, no less, than I would be willing to fund a revival of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia.

Don't believe me? Fine. There are still copies of the books of PP's original leading lights: Margaret Sanger, Lothrop Stoddard, Madison Grant, etc. Check the books out and read their own words.

Abortions . . . are most certainly matters of public health.

War is peace. Love is hate. Big Brother loves you.
