Nice effort at deflection.. thought the mod was supposed to be a role model.
Nothing in this article is germain to this conversation..
Pointing out issues related to abortion is absolutely germane to discussing public funding of an abortion business.

Unfortunately we don't get to pick and choose what our tax dollars go to support.
And, actually, somebody else is already paying for them, since using federal dollars for abortion procedures is already illegal.
We do through our legislators, people are voting to defund abortion mills like PP.

GOP Poised To Cut Food Aid For Pregnant Women, Children
In an otherwise lean budget year, the House is poised to boost funding to take care of the medical needs of the nation's veterans.
But the GOP-dominated chamber will soon resume its budget-slashing ways as it kicks off debate Tuesday on a food and farm spending bill that cuts aid for low-income pregnant women and their children and slashes a key overseas food aid program by about one-third below this year's funding.
Once money is added for programs like defense, veterans and homeland security, spending on domestic programs like food aid for the poor, education, health care and housing subsidies falls to levels where lawmakers are going to find it difficult. After a $17 billion increase for the Pentagon is factored in, domestic agencies and foreign aid programs would absorb cuts of $47 billion that would translate into cuts averaging about 10 percent.
The White House weighed in Monday with a policy statement blasting the agriculture bill but not explicitly threatening a veto.
A program that provides healthy foods like milk, eggs and infant formula to about 9 million poor mothers and pregnant women and their children is one such program. Lawmakers for years have awarded it enough money so that all eligible people can get food, comparable to automatic benefit programs like food stamps and unemployment insurance.
But the current budget guillotine is forcing cuts to previously protected programs like the food program for women, infants and children. The WIC program would absorb an $868 million cut of 13 percent from current spending – and a $1.3 billion cut below the administration's request. That has Democrats and advocates for the poor howling that it could mean that more than 200,000 people would be turned away from the program if food prices rise as expected.
The bill also cuts a program that delivers food to low-income senior citizens 23 percent below current levels.
I, personally, do not understand how babies are everyone's responsibility while they are in the womb but no one's responsibility once they are out.
If you want them all born you dam well better want to make sure they get enough to eat once you get your way.
That is better. It's good to see the government attempting to cut what has become absolute runaway spending. The only negative here is that they didn't cut the pentagon 10% as well. We're broke. They did cut $39 Billion from overseas operation which is a plus, but it's not nearly enough.
The problem with the "cut" lines are that they're somewhat empty without hard numbers. Some quick googling informed me that the WIC budget was $5.3 billion or so in 2007, $6.86 Billion in 2009, and $7.25 billion in 2010 with an added $400 million in appropriations. So imo, this tells me more about what the cuts mean. The costs of the programs have skyrocketed the last couple of years. Look at food stamps and the 40% or so rise in cost in a couple of years. Why don't people talk about the balooning cost from only a few years ago when they mention "cuts"? Cuz it doesn't sound as good. Hollaring you "cut" X, Y, or Z stirs the desired emotional, uninformed result. It is what it is I guess.
Like I said, the only negative here is that they didn't take an axe to the Pentagon to the tune of a couple hundred billion.

Defunding them is not going to affect their ability to perform abortion services. It's simply red meat for the base. All you're doing, in effect, is inhibiting rural and poor women from being able to access the medical and family planning resources that PP provides. It's pretty pathetic and I hope the federal government supercedes the respective states that have gone this route.

Good then they don't need our money, as for family planning there are many pregnancy centers across the country that don't have a vested interest in promoting abortions to make money.
Perhaps pro abortion libs like yourself should contribute to PP.

Actually, they do need money as they perform necessary services focused in areas that don't have sufficient coverage or access from other pregnancy centers.
If you're going to use that line of argument, then the government shouldn't give money to any recipient that could theoretically acquire said monies through other means.
