Does anyone know how much money will be saved from the budget if the GOP succeeds in eliminating federal funding for NPR & Planned Parenthood?

Serious question as I haven't been able to find any "hard" numbers when it comes to these organizations.

I don't know. But a consequence of eliminating Planned Parenthood will be more abortions. That is a logical assumption and raises more questions.

Gainzo

I agree. It seems to me that most Republicans think that all Planned Parenthood does is abortions. That can't be further from the truth.

Do you have links for your stats? Especially the claim that 92% of women who go to Planned Parenthood get an abortion.

patsfan13

OTOH you could try google and show stats that abortion isn't 93% of their business.

Why should I do that when I asked the person who posted the stat to provide the source?

BTW: According to the poster it is 92%, not 93%, of their business.

$831 million which is 1/5 of the US taxpayer's annual subsidy outlay to Oil Companies who are making record profits.

Some people are in the backyard searching for 4 leaf clovers while opportunity is knocking at the front door.

Thank you.

If you don't mind I would like to point out to PatsFanInEaglesLand and patsfan13 that 3% of Planned Parenthood's "business" consists of performing abortions.

I don't know about you but isn't 3% a little bit different than 92% (or 93% according to patsfan13)?
