Should Planned Parenthood be defunded?

It is under attack again for videos showing the sale of fetal tissue. The Senate voted not to try and defund and the prez said that he would veto any legislation on this matter, so it will probably never happen. Planned Parenthood provides a variety of good services but perhaps further scrutiny of this concern should be authorized...
 

This nonsense is only another example of the unrelenting attack on women.. particularly poor women. I see another government shutdown orchestrated by the GOP coming to a theater near you..
 
Not sure that another shutdown will happen, as it could backfire on the Repubs and not help them in a coming presidential election, but I wouldn't bet against one...:D
 

Planned Parenthood was following the letter of the law in providing fetal tissue for medical research.

I'll consider disposing of Planned Parenthood, if you replace it with a fully funded government run program that is designed to perform the same services that PP provided including abortion.....but I don't think the GOP would go along with that plan.
 
So... Here's what the game plan is.. pass a budget that defunds Planned Parenthood... then force the President to veto it.. THEN accuse the President of shutting down the Government. THEN... since the president is a Democrat... blame ALL Democrats ESPECIALLY Hillary Clinton.. It's a pretty easy plot to follow.
 
So it is only the Dems that want these planned parenthood things to happen? No problem as Dems are only 1/3 of our registered voters. Time to tell them to end their biased programs. Let the other 2/3rds have their say also. Since when has 1/3 been a majority?

A bit of math here. I don't know who all is for, or against, the planned parenthood ideas. The wife and I had talked of abortions if need be, but it never came to that point. We only had a boy and a girl. No other threats. Based on religion there should be no abortions for any one. I think doctors orders are needed, or should be. What ever, I don't think my tax money should be used to pay for some foolish persons 2nd or 3rd or more abortions. One for the first mistake and none there after.

Tough topic but taxpayers should not have to pay for multiple mistakes for the same person. One mistake only, and question that option strongly with no repeats being emphasized.

Back when the wife and I were talking of abortions it was before possible in the US. I think then we would have had to go to Sweden for such an event.

Bob, your math needs help. Who says only Dems resist shutting down PP? Who knows whose majority in the case of PP? Even if your 1/3 vs 2/3 was correct it certainly doesn't mean what you reflect in your faulty math.
 
Actually that is untrue BOB... according to Gallup.. Democrats outnumber Republicans and people that claim to be Independents outnumber both.

I never said 2/3 are Republicans at all. Just another stretch of you misguided imagination.

I said 1/3 as I was speaking in broader terms, not by the very latest poll. The 2/3 I posted was the Republicans and independents. Those clusters of voters change by the day and how things are going. Republican and Democrat are both shrinking with time, while the independents keep growing.

My idea of no parties on the ballots would be a great help to the voters. They would need to learn names and what the candidates would like to see happening to vote for people they like. No more just depending on the two parties to make up our minds.
 
So once again you crawfish out of the subject. You phrased your comment to indicate all Democrats wanted PP funded but 2/3's of the population does not. Completely untrue, first of all some Democrats want it closed, second many of your 2/3 want it open. You come up with some outlandish suppositions.
 
In my case I was reading well down in the forum. I did not see the title for the forum. Now that you have pointed that out, it makes sense to post a nothing answer to a not so apparent question. But your answer by itself means nothing. Maybe the question should appear on every page and even as we scroll down the question should stay visible.

All you have done again, is twist the response so it make you look smart, but instead it make you look like someone with no answers at all. I did not say 1/3 were for or against the program at all. Read my post and I tell of the wife and I having faced that problem prior to the current laws. Our escape would have been to go out of the country for solution with doctors or risk the home town illegal abortionist.

The way both parties are shrinking it may not be many years till both become inconsequential for our voting and running the government. The Constitution makes no provision for political parties so if they fade away, no problem at all. Individual voting by the folks we elect is the way they should vote. Parties are not encouraged by the Constitution at all and those we elect are supposed to represent the people that vote by regions and states, not some national political party speaking for itself and not the people.
 
Planned parenthood should absolutely NOT be defunded! If the Repubs get their way, we'd defund Planned Parenthood, outlaw abortion, and get rid of public assistance . Then what? Babies starving in the streets??? Maybe all those Repubs who want to outlaw abortion and defund Planned Parenthood should each be required to adopt one or more of those babies? Hmmm.....

What's the big deal about using fetal tissue for research, anyway?
 
Oh they would rather see that fetal tissue and stem be trashed rather than work toward saving mankind.
