Anti-choice Republicans are trying to shut down Planned Parenthood by eliminating federal funding. Over the years and especially now in this difficult economic time, Planned Parenthood has helped families with family planning and contraception methods. It is estimated that over 700,000 teenage girls are getting pregnant every year and many teens are at risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease. Planned Parenthood provides for urgently needed services to those in need. Planned Parenthood also provides cancer screenings, HIV tests and other basic health care. Preventive care is saving taxpayers dollars. It is as simple as "an ounce of prevention" is worth a" pound of cure."

Folks, we need only to go back to 1930's Germany to find a similar "simple" solution to the ending of human lives that also..... "had no worth".
"Preventive care is saving the taxpayer dollars. It is as simple as ' an ounce of prevention' is worth a 'pound of care' ".
Another person described his "ounce of prevention" solution more bluntly...."die Endlosung der Judenfrage" = "the end of the Jewish Problem". Yes, Adolph Hitler too, held human life cheaply. We all know of the millions that were killed in the Holocaust. But aren't the American "taxpayers" participating in a similar mass ending of human life) by funding Planned Parenthood year in and year out to the tune of..........$350,000,000.00....350 million tax-payer dollars ???
Here are the ....PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION STATISTICS FROM 2009;
2009 - NUMBER OF ABORTIONS PERFORMED IN PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINICS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES = 332, 278 (three hundred thirty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-eight).
PER DAY = 910 (nine hundred and ten).
PER HOUR = 38 (thirty eight).
THERE WAS 1 (one) PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION PERFORMED IN THE UNITED STATES EVERY........ 95 (ninety-five) SECONDS..... IN 2009.
$350,000,000.00....OF YOUR TAX-PAYER DOLLARS WERE GIVEN TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD WHICH HELP TO PAY... FOR THE ..."FINAL SOLUTION" ........OF THESE.... HUMAN LIVES.
DO THE MATH ....332,278 ABORTIONS PER YEAR MULTIPLIED BY 10 = 3,322,780 (sadly....almost the identical number of Human Life taken by the Final Solution, the Holocaust).
ASK YOURSELVES...WHEN DID AMERICANS START THINKING OF A HUMAN FETUS AS NOTHING BUT ....."A POUND OF CURE" ???

Anti "Choice" Republicans? As long as we are clear that "choice" means the amoral "choice" to kill your baby- yes. I to am an anti "Choice" Republican. Whatever else PP does, you can't get by the fact that they kill babies.

Abortion provider Planned Parenthood gets more than $360 million a year in federal funds . . . But the House of Representatives passed a measure to end federal funding for abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood funding facing more cuts as more states try to strip Planned Parenthood of pregnancy-prevention funds.
Kansas cuts Planned Parenthood funding and Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill into law that restricts Kansas abortion clinics by requiring annual, unannounced inspections.
Anything that can be done to require the clinics to care more about the heartbeat of the unborn child than about their profit margins is a good thing.

Somebody explain to me. If we Conservatives believe in smaller government, in not raising taxes, in not putting legislators and bureaucrate between patients and their doctors, why are we mandating scripts which doctors must read to patients, taxing with prohibitive regulations and fines abortion clinics, and creating bureaus to manage abortion clinics? These are not true Conservative positions. However they are Neo-con positions!

Wrong....not ..."Neo-con" but ..."No-condom".

We Conservatives don't like our tax dollars going to fund abortions. Why don't they make clinics that give free or imposed visectomies to those who can't take responsibility for their actions instead of killing the results.
