An offer Planned Parenthood can't refuse

[OldJourno]

And I'm sure all those Planned Parenthood defenders here would agree, after they told us time and again that 98 percent of what PP provides has nothing to do with abortion.
That being the case, there is no logical reason Planned Parenthood should turn Trump's offer down. The offer: Full funding if PP stops providing abortions.

Of course there is. Abortion is a very important part of what PP does, even if it only accounts for 2% of its activities.

What does that other 98 percent consist of?

 

[KingOrfeo]

What does that other 98 percent consist of?

Birth control distribution and women's health counseling and fetal sacrifices to Satan, I suppose.

 

[Liar]

What does that other 98 percent consist of?

97 percent, according to PP themselves.

And yeah, answer here:

Important enough to loose 100% of its federal funding?

non-elective medical care should cover everything.

For example, you've told us sad stories of your childrens' struggles with autism, how would you feel if the government decided to not cover anyone with autism? Hmmm?

And please don't insult us by trying to claim that abortion is an elective procedure. The courts decided that issue long ago.

Federal prisons that participate in the death penalty should probably be defunded, too. #prolife #alllivesmatter

When are we ever going to get the fuck over attempting to legislate morality?

We are fucking cavemen.

I bet you cant define morality.

Sure is swell having a peenis instead of a icky vergina, eh, guys?

All these ding-donged messy reproductive pussy problems we don't never ever hafta deal with...we just stick it in, drop, plop and bop. Maybe even wash it off afterwards with water and a cloth if we feel like it. How sweet a biological lottery score is that? It's no wonder that God chose us to run the world!

 

[raindancer]

I bet you cant define morality.

I can. But, I don't think I should waste my time taking you off ignore. There is absolutely nothing you could say that would interest me. I find you to be highly insulting.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

According RAINDANCER anarchy rules.

One of you dolts loan her a moral philosophy book. Philosophy, you may recall, isw the rational path we take to get at the heart of something. In the case of morals we're after what are the criteria for good conduct.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Definitely.

Fess up, you know I'll bitch-slap your shoddy reasoning.

One of you assclowns prove me wrong.

Isn't removing the federal government from PP doing just that?

Of course there is. Abortion is a very important part of what PP does, even if it only accounts for 2% of its activities.

That 2% is such disingenuous bullshit. Rich Lowery at National Review commented:

"Such cracked reasoning could be used to obscure the purpose of any organization.

The sponsors of the New York City Marathon could count each small cup of water they hand out (some 2 million cups, compared with 45,000 runners) and say they are mainly in the hydration business.

Or Major League Baseball teams could say that they sell about 20 million hot dogs and play 2,430 games in a season, so baseball is only .012 percent of what they do.

Supporters of Planned Parenthood want to use its health services as leverage to preserve its abortions, as if you can’t get one without the other.

Of course, this is nonsense."

In a simple business model if someone offered me full funding if I would stop doing the 2% of the things they don't like I would most likely take it. The protesters would go away and I could provide a comfortable place that people could come to get necessary service. I don't see anything that would stop PP from referring patients to abortion doctors.

Well, lack of abortion doctors would be one thing. I dunno what the supply is, but from what I've heard the PP is the only option in many places.

No, I absolutely wouldn't agree.

This is just a ploy to make abortion less available without changing the law.

It will do nothing to decrease abortions and will only lead to an increase in deaths of women as the few options in red states disappear.

Republicans are against free contraception, which would reduce rates and against the type of assistance that poor single mothers would need.

 

[KingOrfeo]

That 2% is such disingenuous bullshit.

WaPo fact checks:

When all services are counted equally, abortion procedures do account for 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s total services.

But there are obvious differences between these services. For example, a first trimester abortion can cost up to $1,500, according to the Planned Parenthood Web site. Yet an emergency contraceptive pill costs around $45 and a urine pregnancy test costs around $10 at a pharmacy. An abortion is a different type of procedure than a vasectomy, or testing for sexually transmitted infections or diseases, or a vaccine for human papilloma virus (HPV), and so forth.

While each service is listed separately, many clients received multiple services. A woman may get a pregnancy test, birth control and a pap smear, but she would be counted three times, once for each service, in the annual report.
