BREAKING: Obama Just Ensured PERMANENT Funding For Planned Parenthood

President Obama has taken decisive steps to protect Planned Parenthood’s federal funding once and for all, dealing a decisive blow to anti-choice religious extremists and misogynist Republicans around the country who have been fighting tirelessly to destroy the beloved reproductive healthcare provider once and for all.

The Obama Administration has announced a new rule that would ban states from withholding Title X family planning funds from certain recipients for any reason other than the provider’s “ability to deliver services to program beneficiaries in an effective manner.”

Really? Please cite the law that was passed. Thank you.

 

I think you need to explain the difference between a law and a "presidential rule".

 

Brainless, liberal lemmings like Diqless1 think they're one and the same.

 

Cite the law that was passed, Diqless1.

 

Government should not be involved in any kind of parenthood planning . . . funding it or otherwise.

 

Of course they should. The alternative is to allow pestilence and diseases to flourish unabated. The alternative is to allow citizens to die en masse during repeated pandemics. Of course the government should do what it can to help prevent such things.

 

We are talking Planned Parenthood and abortions, not the CDC!

 

Get your head screwed on straight D'IQless1 . . . Planned Parenthood is not a firewall against pestilence and disease . . . we have physicians and hospitals for that. The only purpose PP serves that the others do not is to snuff out fetuses who have been deemed an inconvenience to one or both irresponsible parents. Clearly, we can do without PP. You will just never admit to that.

 

Awwwww....isn't it cute how republicans have opinions.

 

You kind of make it easy to have opinions about your posts!

 

Meaningless replies like this are exactly what we get when the facts don't support the liberal position.

 

I see, so you just don't want the government involved in helping poor people, men, women and children, receive health care. You'd rather they just suffer and die prematurely than allow the government to partially fund a social program that has helped millions. Got it, you don't care about others.

 

While you approve and want us to pay for their being killed before they get a chance to be poor? Yep, that makes perfect sense.

 

Government funds cannot be used for abortions at PP. I doubt you'll remember that though, since we've been over this before.

What it always comes down to is that you hate the fact that abortions are legal.

While abortions only account for an extremely small percentage of PP's services, and government funds cannot be used for abortions, the republican idiocy is to eliminate funding for PP altogether. That's like burning down a house to kill a fly.

Hospitals across the nation perform abortions too. Are you going to shut them down also? You may as well, since you're essentially doing just that for a large number of people who have no other option but to use PP for services other than abortions, and eliminating funding for those services means those people are going to have to do without medical care.

It's not only women who use PP either. Men and children also receive medical care from PP. So do our veterans.

 

WRONG!!
The fact of the matter is that 51 percent of Planned Parenthood’s yearly clinic income – their only self-sustaining revenue source – comes from abortion, 329,445 abortions.


40 percent of all reported abortions committed in the United States occur at a Planned Parenthood clinic, making it by far the largest abortion provider in America. (Editor’s note: When using the national abortion numbers from the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood does 27.5 percent of all abortions in the United States,)

And, the last time I heard, Obamacare required abortion coverage and most of Obamacare is government supported i.e. paid for.

 

Quit your whining, boy. If you haven't noticed, you and your buddies do the same shit, so don't get all uppity about it.

 

Rrriiiight, 51 % of their income is from abortions. I take it you got that from a republican source, one based on a reality where pink elephants rule the World. Was it Arizona Senator Jon Kyl? His satements about PP have been debunked years ago. You fools will believe anything, if it supports your own preconceived notions. I'm saying your bias is showing.

The ACA has a Hyde limitation (1977) that addresses emergency care as well as rape and incest. Federal funds cannot be used for abortions in other cases. And again, hospitals also provide abortions under the Hyde limitation. Are you going to close them too?

 

And another source;

Based on the number and type of abortions Planned Parenthood performed during the 2013-2014 fiscal year and the estimated average amount paid for a non hospital abortion during that period, an estimated 55% of Planned Parenthood’s nongovernment health services revenue came from abortions. These numbers are still estimations and will remain estimations unless Planned Parenthood releases an itemized breakdown of how much revenue each procedure generates for the organization. However, this number is nevertheless based on numbers that are far more sound figures than was Lummis’ number. - See more at: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejo...parenthoods-revenue.html#sthash.GSyV2pe9.dpuf

The Supreme Court issued a unanimous opinion today in the case involving the Little Sisters of the Poor, which have been fighting to not be forced to pay for abortion-causing drugs for their employees.
The Little Sisters of the Poor are asking the nation’s highest court to ensure they do not have to comply with Obamacare’s abortion mandate. The mandate compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions.
