I found an interesting note on a blog, decrying the fact that the House of Representatives has voted to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Apparently this lady has used PP in the past for medical care. PP does provide medical care to women. As do many other city, county and state clinics. However, Planned Parenthood does much more. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America, performing about 1/3 of all abortions in the US. While PP claims that abortions comprise only 3% of their services, PP counts every visit before and after an abortion as a "separate" service. In fact, about 10% of patients receive an abortion. Moreover, this does NOT include the almost one and half million "emergency contraception kits"---of which some number of those "kits" aborted a baby. PP's budget is over 1 billion dollars, and about 1/3 of that budget comes from taxpayers. Also, PP in 2008 made a profit of $85 million dollars, mostly due to abortion. Yet American taxpayers have not wanted taxpayer funded abortions. That's why the Hyde Amendment has repeatedly been voted on to keep at least some federal dollars from going to abortion. Plus, Planned Parenthood doesn't have the greatest track record as far as political correctness. It was begun by Margaret Sanger as a method of eugenics--that is, a way to abort (in her mind) less desirable black and brown babies. As Sanger said, " We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." In general, Sanger didn't seem to like babies at all, "The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it," nor marriage, "The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the social order." Most recently, several PP workers, from around the country, were videotaped blatently ignoring that obvious 'pimps' were asking for abortion services for underage girls. In fact, more than one offered to help provide reproductive services for girls brought from other countries illegally and to help with taxes and other needs. These videos prompted Congress' vote to defund Planned Parenthood. And there's more. Planned Parenthood opposes notification of parents of a daughter's abortion, something most Americans stand for. It also provides very sexually explicit sex curriculum, which most Americans stand against. So, you decide. Should your tax dollars support Planned Parenthood?

Even if were the Boy Scouts I would want it defunded. There is no imaginable constitutional warrant for the Feds to fund any private organization of any kind.
