Well, since you are obviously dead set on making yourself look like a moron, let's compare shall we?
Planned Parenthood = Less than $300 million from the federal government & that is if you use the loosest definition possible, which we know you will.
Quote:Planned Parenthood’s 2008-2009 annual report states that it received $363.2 million in "Government Grants and Contracts." (See page 29.) That’s about one-third of its total revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
However, not all of that money is from the federal government. Planned Parenthood’s government funding comes from two sources: the Title X Family Planning Program and Medicaid. About $70 million is Title X funding, Planned Parenthood spokesman Tait Sye told us. The rest — about $293 million — is Medicaid funding, which includes both federal and state money.
Military spending = $1.4 Trillion
Do you understand what "order of magnitude" means? Not only are you not comparing apple & oranges, you aren't even using fruit.
