And I should pay for ANYTHING at planned parenthood for what reason again?

Fuck the poor! That's right, I said it.

Wow. Now I remember why I never visit this website anymore.

Why, because the truth hurts and we don't sugar-coat stuff?

Gpamp, is that you?

Gives FTP a whole knew meaning...or would that be a double entendre?

What the services cost is irrelevant. 75% of the services they provide are to people 150% below the poverty line who, you know, can't afford a doctor.

lol at your conspiracy theories though. Here's a graph breaking down the spending for you:


Wow! Look at all that abortion spending. Definitely the bread and butter of the program, am I right?

Sorry, Count. That is their SPENDING report. Let's see what kinda skrilla abortions bring in for them.

This...

Since when is someone's fucking herpes my problem? Why do I need to pay for the treatment, or a girl's birth control, etc. Defund that mother fucker.

"Fuck the poor" is a little harsh. I do believe in helping those less fortunate than myself, but it should be ME deciding who/when I should help... not the government. I think everyone would be surprised to see just how much help people would get from others without government intervention.

Haha! Good stuff. And true. Although I do like the fact that a lot of what they do helps keep the population down.

I don't think he's ever coming back. I know where he went though, he can be found over there at any time.

For one, PP is very essential. Without it, thousands of women would likely die every year. Second, the preventative services it provides save the federal government money. Defund it and you're actually losing more money over the long haul.

PP is not essential. Countries can exist without it.

It may save us money over the long haul, but that is because we would pick up the slack with some other entitlement program. I would cut or steeply reduce the others also since they fall under this same line of thinking IMO, so there goes that.

Every service they provide (as far as I know) is available at a private doctor. Each one is a privilege if you can afford it, not a right that other people should subsidize.

If you can afford an abortion then by all means get one*. If you need some sort of STD screening then pay for it. The reason we have PP may be because some people just can't afford things, and that I can live with. The problem is it has ballooned into propping up Americans who don't know how to manage their money or would rather spend it on a PlayStation than an STD screening or condoms. Same goes for the other entitlement programs.

The bottom line is it is not the government's job to provide those services, they are readily available elsewhere. If you can't afford it I'm sorry, but everybody can't afford everything. People have to learn to live without the things they can't afford.

*I vehemently disagree with abortion, but for the sake of this argument it's just an example. i don't think it is the federal governments place to regulate it either way.

Because your inane idiocy is pointed out? Maybe you should consider a trip to PP and ask the doctors to terminate you. That would save more air for me.

I agree 150%.
