I think the government should fully fund abortions. Cheaper in the long run than incarcerating them but then, big corporations don't make any money off of that.

Somewhere around... let's say 5%, because that's being generous of planned parenthood services go toward abortion. They don't 'sell' fetal tissue, they donate it and are (no longer) compensated for storage of the tissue and nothing more.
Anit-Choicers will do anything to limit abortions... unless it costs them money.
I usually won't correct over something like this but this is a big issue. Abortion is 3% of what PP does. 3% but it is all you hear about. Your post is right on target!

What many don't realize is that PP doesn't just help women. They help teens of both sexes get tested for STD's without forcing them to have their parent or guardian present. So if the teens feel they have a safe place to go to after they had unprotected sex and they don't want to hear a shitstorm from their parents, PP is a safe haven.
It is also a place where pregnant women can go for routine care of their babies, during pregnancy. They have access to information about other programs in their area as well. They have access to be able to get in touch with those other agencies via PP.
Planned Parenthood does so much more than provide a safe, sanitary place for a woman to have an abortion. And it is sad that the legislators fail to see this. Sadly, this is a huge step backwards for this country. Women voted for the dummies so why are they whining?

Supreme Court smacks anti-abortion scumbags right in the teeth.
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/supreme-...od-videos/
Quote:The Supreme Court just dealt a blow to the Center for Medical Progress, a California-based anti-abortion group that released a series of videos in which Planned Parenthood employees appear to discuss the sale of fetal tissue.
David Daleiden, the pro-life auteur behind the videos, asked Justice Anthony Kennedy to block an order from a district judge to hand over the names of his organization’s supporters and donors. Kennedy denied the request, and Daleiden will have to provide the information to a California district court.
Good work, Kennedy. Fuck 'em.

The one's "whining" are those who didn't vote for the clowns.
Why would some women vote for idiots who wish to deny them basic rights?

No vicious, vile thing the republicans do will surprise me again. The day they do something to improve the lot of either women or black men, I'd damn well be sitting down.
