    Irresponsible parents raise irresponsible kids. Or they wind up not caring for the kids, in which case the state takes over. Birth control is far cheaper than having several additional people draining the system.*

    *Note: I don't personally think this way, as far as the tone is concerned, I'm just trying to speak the language of the more right-wing folks here.

    They can still charge the same for those services, as they are now.

    Planned Parenthood is not a federal agency though. They are a private organization that operates in all of the state and local areas.

    Well on this point, you happen to be correct. But why do we need another layer of bureaucracy?

    Why do they always need someone to hold their damn hand and babysit them, and then they get pissed off because we give them advice? Stop spreading your ****ing legs, it's the best birth control method known to mankind!

    I use bc. I go to my checkup yearly at a gyn office. I get a rx, and it cost me $9/month at wa
    My bc is not covered by my insurance either, and it cost me $9/month at Wal Mart. The Hobby Lobby employees can still visit the gyn for a yearly checkup, receive mammograms, and all other services that PP offers using their discounted obamacare policy or medicaid. And did you really just suggest that we continue to fund an "extra" service for women for one companies employees? PP is no longer needed.

    What they charge now is at least partially subsidized by federal monies. No abortion services are paid for with federal money.

    Eliminating funding will eliminate those subsidies making birth control less affordable thus, more births.

    What layer of bureaucracy are you talking about? Planned Parenthood doesn't require any more overhead than any other organization that gets funding from the government. The bureaucracy that handles that would continue to exist to handle other organizations even if Planned Parenthood no longer received any money from the government.

    He's saying the people killed have no voice to object to what is being done to them.

    Anti abortion activists? Lol... I prefer pro-life. If you want us to respect American values, how about gaining some values, moral values. If you can't afford to have a kid, don't let the worm out.

    Not if they don't know who it is, so you are correct.

    There can't be that many new births because Planned Parenthood said they rarely performed abortions.

    Exactly, and so do doctors, that they can also visit with their trusty subsidized obamacare policy or medicaid.
