    How does taking 400 or 500 million in federal funds, taxpayer dollars away from planned parenthood effect woman's healthcare? There are tons of other women health care clinics out there. I just do not see it. I do not think taxpayers or the federal government should be financing a private company anyway. Why not let the federal government finance GM or GE or Sony or Walmarts for that matter.

    Besides, there is Obamacare now. Or were we lied to about Obamacare and what it does? What is the difference if a woman goes to planned parenthood or to Acme woman's health center? I see this for what it is, pure political agenda hyperbole. I am surprised Warren didn't say the Republicans were out to kill her grandmother.

    I really really don't understand liberals.

    On my Facebook feed there is a very liberal woman who was part of my birthing class. She hates the idea that pregnancy is treated like a disease; an illness in this country. She hates the high number of c-sections, factory assembly line style neonatal structure in hospitals, and can't stand mandated vaccinations. She gave birth to her last child in her own home. On purpose. She doesn't like people telling her what to do, or how to do it. And I agree with that.

    And yet she strongly supports politicians like Elizabeth "you didn't build that" Warren and Bernie "too much deodorant" Sanders who promise to grow the government's power to tell her how she should be living her life. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It's like there's a disconnect between the way she thinks she should be treated by the government, and the way she thinks government should be able to control people. It's astonishing.

    The problem with PP and all government funded programs is that the government is spending your money with very little incentive to consider your individual desires and needs. They are widely susceptible to special interest influence. My friend will bitterly complain about the influence that companies like Monsanto and Pfizer have over her, but then vote for politicians that promise to wield exactly the same influence.

    Can anyone explain that?

    PP has customers because it's needed, if it wasn't needed it wouldn't have customers. Other clinics get federal funds. Why take away PP funds when they are complying with the law and they have not even been charged with any lawbreaking??

    The affordable Care Act does not cover elective abortions.

    But you like the government telling women they can't get an abortion.

    That's strange. When did I start liking that?

    What's the purpose of government, in your mind?

    208 Free, Low-Cost or Sliding Scale Clinics in Louisiana. Yeah, that Louisiana is really showing their true colors lol... I don't understand why liberals always try to claim that we're waging war against women, as if the Conservative party isn't full of women or something. Liberals do house mostly ugly women though.

    To form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
    That sums it up pretty well, don't you think?

    You call liberal women ugly and expect to have any credibility?

    But thank YOU for pointing out how to Republicans women's only value is there looks, like good breeding stock.

    And here is the usual mishmash of services or lack thereof, with significant difficulties for woman, many of them who are in trouble, difficulty, or simply don't have a poor ot non-existent support structure.

    Much of the list is BS or vaporware! In a very short look of a few of these lists of support for women and men, three of the were gone! How many of the real ones were overwhelmed with multi day waits for services, I wonder?

    Here is just one example of many "Community Mental Health Center (Lake Charles Mental Health Clinic)" which results in:
    These Republican lies never end!

    Especially that they claim about Obamacare supposedly supplies forces for low income women, while simultaneously having made Medicaid cut off for more than half the states in this country!l

    But this is the main attitude for women from the Republicans.

    :lol:

    Many of the people who get Medicaid are denied from the Republicans, and yet the lying Republicans now try to claim that Obamacare is supposed to provide health care for ALL women!

    Lest we don't forget, here are the states were the Republicans have denied Medicaid from citizens from Obama care!

    Yes, the idiotic job killing piece of crap obama and pals shoved down are throats, actually makes planned parenthood obsolete.

    Its time to take your medicine.

    Glad to see Elizabeth Warren as the last stronghold of defense for the billion dollar Planned Parenthood empire, and it's right to sell fetal body parts.

    Elizabeth Warren is a giant tool. Every time she speaks she sounds like she is yelling at children to stop playing on her lawn.

    How the hell is not expanding it "denying" it?

    Since not everyone is on it across the nation does that mean those people are being denied? Of course not.

    Farce I see. You are pointing out the states that didn't "expand" Medicaid. It was not eliminated. The same Medicaid plan that's been around since 1965 is still in place.

    https://www.hhsc.state.tx.us/medicaid/about/state-plan/
    http://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHIP-Program-Information/By-State/georgia.html
    http://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHIP-Program-Information/By-State/oklahoma.html

    That's just a few of the states that chose not to "expand" Medicaid.

    Your post is disingenuous at best..............

    I agree with her on these issues, but the silly rhetoric is unappreciated. Be better than that.

    Saying that they're women's healthcare centers dodges the issue entirely. I agree with her view on this, but at least acknowledge their position. Geez. That's just intellectually dishonest.

    There is a reality check that induces a cathartic response in even the most incorrigibly constipated GOPers who wallow in their airy-fairy ideological dogma:

    Planned Parenthood does not sell fetal parts for profit, and most Americans support the organisation:

    Extremists who wish to give more power over a woman's womb to their politicians and take it away from the woman, her physician, and her loved ones and spiritual advisers would do better to respect the truth.

    Most Americans supported every president they ever elected. If you need to compare all of them to Hitler, that is your privilege.

    There is no evidence that Planned Parenthood has ever sold fetal tissue. If there were such evidence, it should be prosecuted.

    So they just tried to. You didn't see them exchange any money, so there's nothing to see here?

    The future of the Democratic party, at least in the short term, depends almost exclusively on how successfully they can conflate every possible policy issue with identity (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). They are well aware of this. They have painted themselves into this corner to get votes and their political candidates are now essentially forced to wallow in the identity politics mud pit whether they want to or not.
